The Salento Trail is an easy route, suitable for those approaching the world of long-distance trails for the first time. The itinerary takes in dirt roads, little-used asphalt roads, beaches, and a few paths. Some points on the cliff require a lack of vertigo. Along the route, there is a high presence of all kinds of accommodations, bars, restaurants, and hotels, so that sometimes you will not even need to bring your own lunch. A journey to be taken slowly, fully savoring the wonders this land has to offer: landscapes, history, and good food.
Whether you are a history buff or not, you cannot remain indifferent to the beauty of the cities. Both Lecce and Otranto deserve a full day’s visit. It is also impossible not to stop at the Aragonese castle of Castro, where the largest statue of Athena in existence is kept! Inland, many small structures similar to the famous trulli tell the rural history of the peninsula.
