    Anna Maria was absolutely knowledgeable about the tour, kind, and in love with her city. She gave us recommendations to make the most of the tour. We especially thank her for the visit to the Church of San Pietro.

Best Tours & Activities in Otranto | Discover Top Experiences

Nestled on the easternmost tip of Italy, Otranto is a charming seaside town where shimmering turquoise waters meet a picturesque old town full of character. Famous for its dazzling coastline, historical gems, and vibrant local life, this hidden jewel in Puglia enchants visitors searching for culture, relaxation, and adventure in equal measure.

A Glimpse into the Past

Otranto brings centuries of history alive through its ancient walls, Aragonese Castle, and the remarkable Cathedral with its famous mosaic floor. Once a Greek settlement, later ruled by Romans, Byzantines, and Normans, its cobbled alleys echo stories of old seafarers and dramatic sieges that shaped the region.

When to Plan Your Visit

The best time to enjoy Otranto is from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is sunny and the sea is at its most inviting. July and August are lively and warm—ideal for beach lovers—while May, June, and September offer a quieter atmosphere and pleasant temperatures.

Do You Need a Car to Get Around?

While the town center is delightfully walkable, having a car can be convenient for exploring nearby beaches and charming villages in the surrounding area. If you focus on the old town and harbor, everything is within easy reach on foot.
