Best of Otranto: Explore Italy's Secret Coastal Town

Looking to finally escape the usual Italian tourist trail?

Savi & Vid lovingly bring us to Otranto, a much quieter coastal town in Puglia, beautifully nestled along the Adriatic Sea, and it's nothing more short of magical. Far away from the crowds of Rome and Venice, Otranto offers a best taste of real Italy: slow, scenic, and deeply steeped in the history.

What to See & Do in Otranto:

Otranto Cathedral: Top Marvel at its ancient mosaic floors, some of the most finest in Italy.

Old Town Wanderings: Meander through the cobbled alleys, discover me handmade ceramics, and sip the rich Italian espresso overlooking the sea.

Aragonese Castle: A medieval fortress with some panoramic views and the rich stories.

Outdoor Adventures:

Kayak to the very serene Baia dei Turchi

Hike to Punta Palascia, Italy's most easternmost tip

Swim in to the surreal emerald waters of the Cava di Bauxite

Why Otranto is a Must:

No tourist traps, and no long lines, just some authentic experiences

Pristine beaches with the turquoise waters

A perfect blend of history, nature, and coastal calm

Savi & Vid deeply remind us that the best travel isn't always present in the guidebooks. With its very rich history, the coastal beauty, and slow living, Otranto offers a very refreshing taste of the authentic Italy, minus the clichés. 

Add it to your bucket list right now.
