A wonderful hike along the sea. The view is breathtaking. Highly recommended. Ideal in the early morning hours when it's not so warm in summer.

The cathedral features a fascinating floor mosaic: - in the center, the Tree of Life (beginning with elephants, cats, Adam and Eve, ..., until you reach God) and in the left aisle, - the Tree of Knowledge with the decider for heaven or hell is very worth seeing.

The most suggestive corner of the Adriatic coast of Salento. From here a dirt road starts that overlaps with the Cammino del Mare and winds up to Otranto along the rocky stretch

Porto Badisco is a pretty cove nestled on the coast of the Adriatic about 10 km south of Otranto.

Legend has it that two sisters, two local farmers, one day approached the sea to cool off. Having reached the bay of Torre dell'Orso, one of the two enters the water to take a nice swim, but the water, near the rocks, has become treacherous and swirling. The girl gasps and screams for help: her sister can only rush to help her. They swim and swim, and the more they swim the more their efforts seem in vain. When they finally manage to get closer to each other, they are exhausted, without strength. They embrace for the last time, now unable to overcome the fury of the sea, which swallows them and drowns them. However, the god of the sea is sorry for this and has compassion for the two innocent sisters, one who died due to unconsciousness and the other due to brotherly love; thus it transforms them into two stacks, close together for eternity. And today we, on sunny summer mornings as well as on humid winter days, admire these rock giants, almost embracing, stone and salt between sky and sea

beautiful cathedral of otranto

The most important attraction in Otranto is the Cathedral of Santa Annunziata. The cathedral's floor mosaics have been preserved in very good condition and tell more than seven hundred stories

Very beautiful mosaics of the Tree of Life from the 12th century
