One of my favourite spots to swim. Clear, shallow water, great views of the castle and marina. Great place, the scenery amazing. Otranto is an important, historical city in La Puglia Region It’s so beautiful with good and beaches around A coastal corridor in the historic center allows you to see the Adriatic Sea and also part of the port and the city In my trip to La Puglia, Otranto is one of the three most beautiful cities in this region Fully recommended Can say port as any other, ships, sea, closed ( off season time) and as a hit by the hammer an ship as a statue remains you that there was a war in Europe just 25 year ago... War which was forgotten. A historic seaside village. Water is an amazing blue. Inside the old fort historic district has nice shops and restaurants. The mosaic on the church floor and crypt are worth visiting. Awesome place for evening walks....countless bar and restaurants. Clothes or accessory shores (souvenirs) beautiful castle. Nice beach ⛱ 👌 😎 Had really nice appetiser ( Blu Bar ) It's cool how the bars put on display their appetisers Beautiful village with frendly people. Otranto The coastal towns on the Adriatic in striking distance of Lecce are famed for their beauty, history and beaches and Otranto is right up there at the top of the list. The drive there is easier thanks to modern road connecting this coastal resort to the main north/south dual carriage way joing Bari in the north passing Brindisi and Lecce ultimately to san leuca at the most southerly point of Puglia and arguably Italy where two seas collide, the Adriatic and Ionian. You might wonder what all the fuss is about on your approach to town centre but whether driving or walking as you drop to sea level you are not disappointed. To the north the crescent bay rises to wonderful vantage points above the safe, sheltered sandy beach laid out in front of bars, cafes and restaurants. Fishing boats and the marina fill the southern side of the bay, nestled below what is a fairly extensive and interesting old town crammed full with the castle, of course, cathedral, of course, ramparts and winding narrow streets full of shops and cafes, in buildings from a long gone past. It’s a wonderful, bustling seaside resort, meriting it’s reputation as a must see location. The town centre beach is lovely and in summer it is one of several in Puglia that is truly accessible to all. There are wheelchair accessible paths on the beach and lifeguards are on hand to assist wheelchair users and individuals with other mobility or sensory issues to enjoy the beach and indeed the water, literally taking individuals out of their wheelchairs and in to the sea using specialist floatation devices. Within striking distance of Otranto you can easily reach well known towns, beaches with famous rock formations and rugged coastlines, Andria, the two sisters and the poesa hole in the rocks giving access to the water and other caves to explore. Should you visit Otranto? Of course you should if time allows, you will not be disappointed ✅ See my blog,,,, Puglia reviews ricensioni Moored on Concrete pier in front of police, very swelly in Northerly winds. 80 Euros/night on catamaran. Marineros very helpful, electricity only at night. Lots to do in this pretty town, all infrastructure available, loved our stay! Un luogo dove rilassarsi Very charming old Town with ample parking and a cheerful vibe. The old Town is filled with many shops and leading to the "old port". Although some walking is quite slippery. You can stroll along the old city walls buffering to the sea, have aperitifs at one of the many casual, vivacious bars along the way, and dine with offering great seafood dishes a plenty.
