When you are going on holiday to the seaside with your children the first question to ask is: what beaches are ok for our children? I have written this post for those families that want to come to Salento on holiday in Puglia or that have already booked one. Before giving you the list of beaches that are adapt for your family, let’s see what are the characteristics a beach has to have for your [...]
With Torre Lapillo I mean also Punta prosciutto and Porto Cesareo, of course. What can we might define the Ionian Salento. I like too much September, a hot and quiet month with a dreamy sea. In September temperatures are every day between 25 – 30 C° and nights are lukewarm, so I don’t need to put on something long-sleeved during my long evening out until late at night. It’s nice here: September in my opinion [...]
Some of my friends have opened an establishment on the beach of Torre Lapillo: The Waikiki Beach, right in the centre of the bay. I will take advantage of my blog to tell you about it: to discover new places and spend a wonderful holiday in Torre Lapillo, in Salento. […]
I went to Castro for the nth timealong the Otranto - Santa Maria di Leuca coastal road in Salento, one of the most beautiful ones in Italy. The serene and sunny day urged me to take various photos and write this mini guide at Castro that you may find useful in case you find yourselves on holiday in Salento. The first thing you will notice about Castro is its position on a small bay dominated [...]
Today's question was asked by Guido and it's relative to movements towards the sea in Salento in August: how do I move about? Will I find traffic? Here's my answer, but before I must explain the opening photo. It's a photo I took from my mobile phone while I was going to my sea, yes: it can happen that a flock of sheep interrupts your trip. They are the rhythms of Salento. "hello fabio, I [...]
In light of the my years of experience of renting holiday homes in Puglia on the most beautiful beaches of Salento with my real estate agency in Torre Lapillo, I feel like giving you some practical advise on how to avoid frauds on renting a holiday home. Yes, frauds. In August especially, we read or hear news about disappointed or downright angry travellers that were swindled in renting their holiday home or villa. The advice [...]
If you arrive in Salento by plane the airport of reference is the Brindisi airport that is called Aeroporto del Salento. It is the airport of reference for southern Puglia and ideal if you want to visit the cities in Salento and in the Valle d'Itria where the Trulli are. While if you want to visit the northern central part of Puglia then it's better to land at the Bari airport. Right, once you have [...]
As I mentioned in my Strolling through Venice post in which I told you about my first time in this more than magnificent city, Venice captured me completely. I went a bit unprepaired and maybe it was better because I was able to capture some of its more characteristic aspects as if I were an inexperienced traveller. And Venice has so much to tell, but a few in particular more than others caught my attention [...]
My advice for today's trip is: where are the beautiful and best beaches in Porto Cesareo in Puglia, Italy? From the emails and phone calls I receive, this is a recurring question. So much so that I have decided to write an article on the subject to share with all of you who follow me. I will begin by telling you that Porto Cesareo is quite a large district that extends itself along a coastal [...]
In October I enjoy my Salento sea completely. It's a period in which we work less here at the beaches, schools have started again, working life also after the summer holidays. But for those of us who live in Salento, some weekends can be really incredible! Yes, because even if October is a month that belongs to Autumn in some places in the world it seems more like a temperate summer. So, a friend of [...]
In this period many of you are asking me: Fabio, which are the best beaches in Salento, Puglia? Which are the most beautiful, famous, dreamy beaches with fine, white sand? I have decided to compile my personal top 10 list, divided almost equally between the Ionian Sea and the Adriatic Sea. They are all sandy beaches except some that are a bit more pebbly, but of such beauty that I would still advise you to [...]
Puglia is in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, and that's why its climate is... typically mediterranean (have I reinvented the wheel?). Consult a map to see the exact location of Puglia in the Mediterranean Sea or read my post Where is Puglia in Italy?. I will now tell you exactly how's the climate here, in Puglia, what's the weather like as well as the best parts of the year during which you can come [...]
