What is the best time to book a water activity in Otranto?

The best time is from late spring to early autumn (May–September) when the weather is warm and the sea is calm. For a more peaceful experience, book a morning tour to avoid the midday heat and crowds. Sunset tours are also popular for their romantic atmosphere and golden light.

How do I choose between the different boat tours in Otranto?

Consider what you value most: if you want a social experience with an aperitif, opt for a group tour like the classic 3-hour boat trip. For a more intimate or exclusive feel, choose a private tour. If you're interested in caves and snorkeling, look for tours that specifically highlight those features.
