Experiences and tours in Otranto

Some links are affiliate links: booking helps support MareCalmo, at no extra cost to you.

The Otranto coast

To the north open up the Baia dei Turchi, set within a protected area of holm oaks, and the long sandy shoreline of the Alimini lakes, between dunes and pinewood. To the south the coast turns rocky as far as Punta Palascìa, the lighthouse marking the easternmost tip of Italy. The Alimini shoreline, well ventilated, is also popular with those who practise wind sports.

When the sea is calm in Otranto

The Strait of Otranto funnels the wind and makes this stretch one of the most exposed on the Adriatic side of Salento: with sirocco, grecale and tramontana the sea builds up easily. The westerly winds - maestrale (mistral) and ponente - instead arrive off the land and calm the coast; and when the Adriatic is rough, you need only head down towards the Ionian to find quieter water.
