A holiday in Otranto will take you to Italy\'s easternmost coast on a rocky spur with a sheer drop to the sea, about 30 kilometres from Lecce. Salento\'s cultural, political and economic centre for centuries, it\'s been considered a natural bridge between the Mediterranean and the East since ancient times. Otranto still preserves traces of the meeting and mixing of cultures. Besides meeting the demands of beach tourists, Otranto offers attractions for those who want to spend a few days of total relaxation, with history, culture and breath-taking scenery.
