- Dolmen and MenhirNamed the Megalithic Garden for the highest concentration of Dolmens and Menhirs in Italy, Giurdignano is a magical place that, going back in time, takes us on a journey to rediscover the first human settlements.
A lake formed within a bauxite quarry that has been disused since 1976. You will find a very picturesque landscape, with an emerald-coloured lake, red earth and bright green vegetation, which covers this area almost all year round, with the exception of the summer months.
The Grotta della Poesia, this splendid pearl of nature, has been named one of the ten most beautiful natural pools in the world, and it is not difficult to understand why: it is a pool set in the rock and characterised by an emerald, cooling sheet of water in which everyone dreams of swimming.
In Guagnano, nestled in the Salento countryside stands the hermitage of eccentric artist Vincent Brunetti. After spending twenty years in Milan, he returned home where he lives doing what he loves to do: create. Dissatisfied and disappointed by the world, he has erected one of his own, a surreal place, shrouded in silence, made of colours. An open-air museum where the sacred and the profane, painting, music and curious visitors from all over the world coexist blissfully.
Porto Selvaggio in Nardò is the wildest and most uncontaminated Salento, a strip of land that will give you landscapes you have never seen: a little corner of paradise capable of bringing a smile to your face even if you are only daydreaming about it.
, Torre Sant'Emiliano , Masseria Cippano , Porto Badisco , ...Santa Maria di LeucaAmong the many beauties of this land is the Otranto-Leuca coast road, one of the most important and beautiful scenic roads in Italy. Built close to the sea, it overlooks the most evocative views of southern Salento and offers extraordinary opportunities for framing photo opportunities.
Specchia is a must-see location in Salento first and foremost for its perfectly preserved historic centre, where one has the feeling that time has stood still. Accomplices are the narrow alleys, the dry stone walls, the old houses with their pink walls and the stairways that create suggestive ups and downs.
Amidst the countryside in the heart of the Salento region lies a small village born around 1930 and no longer inhabited around the 1980s. Abandoned to itself, Monteruga became a real ghost town, attracting tourists and curious lovers of ghostly places lost in time.
Inland from Salento, in the municipality of Parabita, is one of the most interesting monumental cemeteries in Italy. The cemetery is a set of geometric shapes and hidden corners full of mystery and loaded with symbolic meanings. A concentric labyrinth whose structure is reminiscent of an Egyptian necropolis.
Immersed in the Salento countryside, in the heart of Grecìa, in the shade of palm trees and centuries-old olive trees, the Monastery of Santa Maria della Consolazione, entrusted to the care of the Cistercian monks, rises one kilometre from Martano, on the road to Borgagne. A place, a beautiful and long history to rediscover and recount.
