Morning light lifts off Ostuni's white houses as a private van eases onto the low plains of Salento, the road framed by centuries-old olive trees and dry-stone walls.

Morning light lifts off Ostuni's white houses as a private van eases onto the low plains of Salento, the road framed by centuries-old olive trees and dry-stone walls.
By mid-morning you step into Lecce’s compact center, where honey-colored limestone takes on the personality of the Baroque. The Basilica di Santa Croce and the Roman amphitheater give shape to streets lined with artisan workshops and cafés serving strong espresso and pasticciotti. The stone here is soft—eroded by wind and time—so façades brim with carved rosettes and playful gargoyles.
After a lunch pause, the drive turns south toward the Ionian and Gallipoli’s fortified island. The Angioino Castle juts against the sea; fishermen’s boats and fish markets animate narrow alleys. The Cathedral of Sant’Agata crowns a compact historic core, while sea breezes dare you toward the promenades and lookout points with wide Ionian views.
Practical details: the full day is door-to-door from Ostuni in an air-conditioned vehicle, with bottled water provided. Choose the guided walking option to add local context—history, architecture, and food stops—or take the independent route for more free time. Expect roughly three hours in Lecce, two in Gallipoli, and scenic drives between. Comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and modest dress for churches make the day smoother. Travel in spring or fall to avoid high summer heat and busy promenades. Whether you favor architecture, coastal scenery, or regional food, this one-day loop offers a compact, relaxed taste of southern Puglia.
The tour runs about 8 hours total: roughly 3 hours in Lecce, 2 hours in Gallipoli, plus driving time and transfers.
Lunch is not included—there’s free time to sample local restaurants and markets in both towns.
Yes; the itinerary offers an optional guided walking tour in Lecce and a guided or independent option in Gallipoli.
The tour is suitable for most ages, but both towns have cobbled streets and some steps; request pickup details and accessibility accommodations when booking.
