Otranto and Surroundings Full-Day Bike Tour

We'll go up the Idro valley along a pleasant dirt patch and we'll see St. Angelo Crypt, which was carved into the soft rock of Salento at the Byzantine time.

We'll move on to Casamassella and stop at the Costantine Foundation, a center dedicated to organic farming and traditional weaving with old looms.

Then we'll reach Giurdignano, main megalithic centre of Salento due to the many dolmens and menhirs, first evidence of human presence in the area.

Stop by a bakery with a stone oven for a delicious lunch arranged by the organization. After lunch, we'll cycle to Porto Badisco for a long break, and weather permitting, a swim. It is also possible to rent canoes.

We'll then move on along the magnificent coast road to Otranto. We will stop at Punta Palascìa lighthouse, the eastern most point of Italy, and a peculiar lake in a disused bauxite quarry.  Return to Otranto in the late afternoon.
