Best Places to Visit in Otranto

Nestled on Italy's easternmost tip, Otranto is a gem of the Salento peninsula, boasting a rich tapestry of history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. This coastal town is a treasure trove of experiences, perfect for the curious traveler seeking both relaxation and adventure.

Otranto Cathedral

First on the list is the Otranto Cathedral, a masterpiece of religious architecture with a history that dates back to the 11th century. Inside, you'll find the stunning Tree of Life mosaic, a mesmerizing work that covers the entire floor of the cathedral. This mosaic is not only a feast for the eyes but also a journey through biblical history and medieval thought. For a deeper understanding of this intricate artwork, consider joining a guided tour with Happytripz, where the secrets of the cathedral will be unveiled.

Castello Aragonese

Another must-visit is the imposing Castello Aragonese, a fortress that has stood the test of time and invasions. Its robust walls and towers tell tales of Otranto's strategic importance through the ages. Stroll through the castle's chambers and ramparts, and don't miss the chance to take in the panoramic views of the sea and town below. Happytripz offers excursions to this historic site, ensuring you don't miss any of its storied past.

Baia dei Turchi

For those who yearn for the sun and sea, the Baia dei Turchi is an idyllic escape. This pristine beach, accessible through a fragrant pine forest, is a slice of paradise with its crystal-clear waters and fine sand. It's the perfect spot for a day of relaxation or a refreshing swim in the Adriatic Sea. Find your way to this secluded haven with ease, thanks to the local expertise of Happytripz.

The Bauxite Quarry

A visit to Otranto would be incomplete without seeing the enchanting Bauxite Quarry. This otherworldly landscape, with its vivid red soil and emerald-green lake, is a photographer's dream.
