Itinerary

---

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. 
2. LECCE - GALLIPOLI 60 km / +245m (See profile). Bike delivery and orientation. Today you will cycle in the land of Baroque, as you can see by visiting Galatina and Galatone and their beautiful churches. Your final destination is GALLIPOLI. Don't miss the chance to spend your evening strolling around the beautiful streets of the old town. 
3. GALLIPOLI - SANTA MARIA DI LEUCA 71 km / +490m (See profile). We also offer a shorter option: 51 km / +225m (See profile). 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 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. 
4. SANTA MARIA DI LEUCA - OTRANTO 60 km / +680m (See profile). 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. 
5. OTRANTO - LECCE 60 km / +300m (See profile). In the morning, if you want, there's time to visit the city. Otranto is best appreciated in its amazing cathedral with ist mysterious history and famous mosaic floor. 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. ​
6. End of services and Goodbye.
