The Ionian coast is characterized by lower cliffs and stretches of sand, red soil and vineyards, interrupted by sixteenth-century towers and equipped beaches. The first stop is Porto Cesareo, a fishing village with white beaches and small islands. Tour continues to the Portoselvaggio Nature Park, with the Grotta del Capelvenere and the Grotta di Uluzzo, where the waters of the Uluzzo Bay are crystal clear, with prehistoric archives in the caves of Cavallo and Uluzzo and Quattro Colonne. Then we reach Gallipoli, the pearl of Ionio, which is surrounded by fortified walls and linked to land through a bridge. The medieval village, the winding and narrow alleys that burst into the houses, the ramparts, the castle, the churches, the Greek fountain remodeled in the Renaissance, the baronial buildings characterize this beautiful village.
