Day wise Itinerary

Day 1 :

Individual arrival in LECCE. Called the Florence of the South, Lecce is one of the most interesting cities in the region for its baroque architecture, typical of the 17th Century. Don't forget to visit Piazza Duomo and Piazza Sant'Oronzo with its amphitheatre. Overnight stay in Lecce.
Day 2 :

Bike and road map delivery and route description. Today you will cycle along the beautiful countryside of Salento and after about 25 km you will reach GALATINA. Take time to visit the Mother-Church and the Basilica of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria with its 15th-century frescoes. After lunch break, maybe with a typical Rustico Leccese, you will ride for a futher 25 km towards GALLIPOLI. Don't miss the chance to spend your evening evening strolling around the beautiful streets of the old town. Overnight stay in Gallipoli.
Day 3 :

Leaving behind Gallipoli you'll cycle along the Ionian coast headed to Torre San Giovanni. Here the crystal clear sea will tempt you…but it’s time to get back on your bike! A short detour will take you inland to see the small towns of UGENTO and SPECCHIA, one of the most beautiful 'BORGHI' in Italy. Then you will continue your ride for another 35 km reaching SANTA MARIA DI LEUCA, where the Ionian and the Adriatic Sea meet; this is the southernmost point in Salento, striking the visitor’s eye for its colors and unreal silence. Overnight stay in Santa Maria di Leuca.
Day 4 :

Today you'll start riding northward along the beautiful coastline of the Adriatic Sea. Crossing the marinas of Tricase Porto and Castro Marina, you'll finally get to one of the most amazing city of Salento: OTRANTO. If you want, you can have a delicious seafood dinner and take a walk throughout the historic centre and maybe buy some souvenirs from the local little shops. Overnight stay in Otranto.
Day 5 :

In the morning, if you want, there's time to visit the city. Otranto is best appreciated in its amazing cathedral, where the bones of 813 martyrs are displayed in a glass case behind the altar. Less macabre is the cathedral’s other jaw-dropper, its medieval mosaic floor, which rivals the famous early Christian mosaics of Ravenna in its richness and historical significance. Cycling along the Alimini Lakes, you’ll finally reach the seaside village of TORRE DELL’ORSO: don't miss the opportunity to swim in the suggestive Grotta della Poesia. Before arriving in LECCE you will meet ACAYA, a perfect stop for an authentic Italian espresso or for a drink at sunset in front of the castle. Overnight stay in Lecce.
Day 6 :

End of services and Goodbye.
