About Lecce
Lecce sits on the flat, sun-bleached Salento plain, which means the wildest corners of Apulia — sea caves, coastal pinewoods, bauxite-red quarries — are all within a day's reach. You can spend the morning cycling to the wetlands of the Full-Day Bike Tour from Lecce to Cesine Protected Natural Reserve and the next day hiking the old bauxite quarry down to the sea on the Lecce: Guided Hike from Bauxite Quarry to Otranto with Refreshing Swim. These are small-group, guide-led trips built around walking, swimming and looking at the landscape rather than ticking off monuments.

Frequently asked questions
These trips leave the baroque city behind and focus on the Salento landscape itself: the rocky Ionian and Adriatic coastlines, the Cesine protected wetland, old bauxite quarries and coastal pinewoods. Expect walking or cycling, time on the water, and small groups led by local guides rather than a coach-and-headset circuit of churches and piazzas.
