Places to see in ( Otranto - Italy )
Otranto is a historic seaside town and port on the Adriatic coast of southern Italy, in the region of Puglia. It's a small place with a lovely holiday atmosphere, and makes a good destination for a day trip or a longer stay. The picture-perfect blue waters, white buildings and diving rocks make Otranto the frequent cover star of maps, books and articles about Puglia.
The town is in the province of Lecce, and is close to the easternmost point of Italy. It is within the area known as the Salento, the tip of the peninsula which is the heel of Italy's boot. On a clear day it is possible to see over the Strait of Otranto to Albania. Like many of the local placenames, Otranto is pronounced with the stress on the first syllable.
The name of Otranto is probably best known abroad for The Castle of Otranto, Horace Walpole's pioneering Gothic novel. However, the creepy castle of Walpole's imagination bears little resemblance to the more recent stolid fortress in the real Otranto.
Like much of Puglia, Otranto has a colourful and mixed past. It was important as a Greek and then Roman port, called Hydruntum. Later it was ruled by the Byzantines, the Normans and the Aragonese. In 1480 the town was invaded by Turks, and 800 locals were executed for refusing to convert to Islam. The bones and skulls of the martyrs of Otranto are now stacked behind glass in the cathedral in a manner that would have satisfied Walpole's Gothic imagination.
Otranto's leading attraction is the twelfth-century mosaic in the town's Romanesque cathedral (open 7am-noon and 3pm-8pm; closing earlier in winter). It is a charmingly quaint yet large-scale work carried out by a monk called Pantaleone. Pictures within the mosaic include religous stories like Noah's ark, but also depictions of historical, mythical and even pagan figures, including Alexander the Great (similarly portrayed in the mosaic at Trani) and King Arthur. Alongside the cattedrale is a small museum, the Museo Diocesano, which contains a few local exhibits including fragments of an earlier fourth or fifth-century mosaic from the cathedral site.
The real-life 'castle of Otranto', the Castello Aragonese, is a mighty construction which forms part of the tough defences of Otranto. The current building is fifteenth-century, though it was built on one of Frederick II's earlier fortresses. It is open to the public and sometimes houses temporary exhibitions. Otranto's small tourist information office (not terribly helpful) lies close to the castle in Piazza Castello.
Down where the massive walls mark the entrance to the old town is a pleasant little park, the Villa Comunale. From this point the seafront stretches around the bay to the north. These are more modern areas, without the charm of the historic centre, but still pleasant for a seaside stroll with an ice cream.
The beaches actually within the town are very small - pleasant on a sunny May weekday, but extremely crowded in the peak summer season. The coastline outside Otranto is renowned for its beauty, and there are more stretches of popular beach to both the north and south. These are easiest to reach if you have a car, but there is also a summer bus service to popular seaside spots. To the north of Otranto lie the sandy beaches of Baia dei Turchi and the Laghi Alimini, large lakes close to the sea. Tourist villages were built here in the late twentieth century and the area remains a popular holiday base. A good seaside destination to the south of Otranto is Porto Badisco, a picturesque rocky cove.

Tourist villages were built here in the late twentieth century and the area remains a popular holiday base. A good seaside destination to the south of Otranto is Porto Badisco, a picturesque rocky cove.
The beach of Laghi Alimini is located about 8 km north of Otranto, on the Adriatic coast of Salento, and it is part of the protected reserve of the Alimini Lakes. This long beach of fine white sand is located next to the Lago Alimini Grande. Along its entire length are various commercial lidos, although there are many areas that are free to access. The beach can be reached via the SP 366, which connects Otranto to Torre dell'Orso.
Baia dei Turchi is located on the Adriatic coast of Puglia, north of the town of Otranto. It is a lovely beach, enclosed within a bay that is accessible only on foot. The whole area around the beach is full of wild and unspoiled vegetation. The usual beach services are available. Baia dei Turchi is located about 6.5 km north of Otranto and can be reached via the SP 366, which runs from Otranto to Torre dell'Orso.
Porto Badisco, located about 20 km south of Otranto, is a very popular tourist resort. Inside a deep cove with high cliffs there is a small sandy beach surrounded by trees and Mediterranean vegetation. The beach is free to access. Grotta dei Cervi is located near Porto Badisco, famous for the original Graffiti of the Neolithic period. Porto Badisco can be reached using the SP87.

Places to see in ( Porto Cesareo - Italy ) Punta Prosciutto
Punta Prosciutto ( Li Prisuddi in local dialect) is a seaside resort that is part of the municipality of Porto Cesareo and extreme north-west of the province of Lecce , in Salento. The particularity of the sea lies in the fact that the shallow water is recovered after a few meters. The white sandy beaches stretch out for several kilometers and behind them there are centuries-old dunes , covered by typical Mediterranean Salentine vegetation.
The stretch of Punta Prosciutto is bordered to the north by Torre Colimena and to the south by Riva degli Angeli, circumscribed by a large group of centuries-old Mediterranean scrub. The raising of the seabed has generated a wetland that has produced a particular habitat for the establishment of a particular flora and fauna. With the regional law n. 5/2006 in the area the Parco Palude del Conte was established .
Punta Prosciutto is an absolutely beautiful beach, there is a reason they call it The Maldives of Italy! The sea is so clear and shallow, and the beach is white sand. The only thing is a lack of decent facilities.
