- 1Centro Storico OtrantoStop: 90 minutes - Admission includedYou will meet the guide at the Castle of Otranto and you will begin the visit of one of the most beautiful towns in Italy, overlooking the sea. Otranto is located at the easternmost point of the heel of Italy, which is why it has always been considered the gateway to Italy for populations from the East. It is certainly one of the most historically and culturally important centers of the Salento, thanks to the presence of ancient churches and buildings, of the Aragonese castle built at the end of the 15th century, the towers and walls that protected the city. During the guided tour you will discover its characteristic historical center, meeting, from time to time, glimpses of landscapes where the village meets the famous crystalline sea. You will have the opportunity to enter the Cathedral of the Annunciation which houses one of the most beautiful mosaics in southern Italy, built in the second half of the 1100s and which represents the tree of life.Read more

- Bartolomeo d0 contributionsminor pilgrimageunequal and molested exceptional drive up the 840 m. town. However the burdened complexity of uses, consecration, conflicting utilities, awesome building molestations, fine views, touristic overexploitation, crowds and pilgrimages renders this perpendicular promontory of value in two singular respects: 1. The Umbra views eastwards 2. The Manfrediana views towards the Adriatic 3, Walking opportunities, few eating clear shots 4. Kind hearted responses from strangersWritten 21 August 2022
- Yyyyy99990 contributionsExcellent itinerary and highly recommended tourWe did the 6D 5N Unesco Puglia & Matera Wonder Holiday Package. We booked directly with Turisti in Puglia. The itinerary was great. We loved all the places/towns visited and stayed in. All the hotels we stayed in were charming and well located. In general, all the drivers we had were excellent and all the tour guides were professional and knowledgeable and spoke good English. I particularly liked that the guides were real locals. I have done lots of "free walking tours" in Italy and can speak from experience that the guides we had on this tour was by far superior. Another thing we liked a lot was the ease of dealing with Enza and her team, whether by email or by whats app. I highly recommend this tour agency.Written 15 August 2022
- Cooingdove19660 contributionsBeautiful preserved sanctuary surrounded by gorgeous scenery and welcoming cultureTonia, our guide, was wonderful! She provided interesting history teachings and was pleasant and professional. The Monte Sant' Angelo sanctuary is beautiful and the castle where we met up for the walking tour was also rich in history. The little town is filled with friendly people and the scenery around the area, breathtaking! It's well worth traveling to visit. It's like a best kept secret. So if you need a private guide to learn the history of the area and sanctuary, Tonia is the best person for the job! 😊Written 9 August 2022
