Ostuni

The pearl of Puglia nestled between the blue of the sky and the sea. It was renamed “Ostuni White City” for the white lime of which is entirely covered its historic center. A bath of light for the eyes where nature, culture and food and wine blend. The historic center of Ostuni offers many attractions not to be missed, between alleys and streets with houses reminiscent of Greek architecture. In the upper part you can admire the Cathedral, the Bishop’s Palace and the Seminary Palace. The main square, Piazza della Libertà, offers many events in the summer and is the meeting place par excellence. Also worth a visit are the Church of San Francesco, the Town Hall, the seventeenth-century Church of the Holy Spirit and the baroque Spire of Sant’Oronzo about 20 meters high.

Not to be missed

The beach of Ostuni, about 20 km long, is characterized by a series of long beaches and small coves: paradisiacal places to live day and night thanks to the rich offer of bars and beaches. The beaches of Ostuni are among the most appreciated and visited not only in Salento, but also throughout Italy. Twenty kilometers of coastline and pristine vegetation where you can enjoy a crystal clear sea and walk in the park of the Coastal Dunes characterized by the presence of a thick Mediterranean scrub. Worthy of particular attention is Torre Pozzella, one of the most beautiful and enchanting beaches thanks to the cliffs, the wild nature and the 6 meters high rock formations, and Costa Merlata with its picturesque coves.
