Photos of the site and surroundings:
Puglia (Apulia) forms the easternmost part of the Italian peninsula and has a long coastline, facing the Ionian and Adriatic Seas. Puglia is essentially a flatland with wide arid expanses. The coast is often high, plunging steep into the sea; in other areas, it is sandy or rocky, but usually flat.
This part of Puglia is called the Salento and is very unspoilt and rural. The Peninsula has the Adriatic sea on one side with the ancient port of Otranto and its famous cathedral and the Ionian Sea on the other with the citadel of Gallipoli.
Puglia is a huge producer of olive oil and the Salento is also well-known for its high quality red wines and also for cheese.
