The coastal town of Otranto, 40 minutes from Lecce, is one of Puglia's most compelling historic sites — a whitewashed medieval town on the Adriatic coast with a cathedral floor entirely covered by an extraordinary 12th-century mosaic Tree of Life. The turquoise waters of the Otranto coastline, the easternmost point of mainland Italy, are among the clearest on the Italian peninsula. Hotels in Lecce offer the ideal base for a day trip to Otranto and the crystal-clear beaches of the Salento coast.
