It gives you a pleasant feeling when the most important newspapers and magazines in the world write that your beach is among the most beautiful ones ... in the world! It had already happened with the beach where I was born in Torre Lapillo, when The Guardian listed it among the 10 most beautiful little-known beaches in the world.

Here is what I saw in the Itria Valley between the towns [...]

There’s a must-see place in Salento where you will find beaches, lakes and forests all together in one place. It's called Alimini Beach or simply ‘Alimini’. It’s a beautiful beach north of Baia dei Turchi in Otranto which I recommended you visit during your holiday in Salento. The Alimini consists of two small lakes close to Otranto and the Adriatic Sea: Alimini Grande to the North and Alimini Piccolo to the South (also known as [...]
