Tips

For a more relaxed pace, add an extra day to explore the Salento peninsula’s pristine beaches and the historic town of Gallipoli. If you’re short on time, skip the Lecce afternoon and focus on the coastal towns, reducing the itinerary to two days while still experiencing the highlights of Ostuni, Polignano, and Alberobello.
