An incredible tour for those who want to discover beautiful places outside the regular touristic tours. Dedicated to those who want to discover the Byzantine art and the beginning of the Latinization activity in this part of Italy. An important cultural and historical passage for this region. Many visitors come to Salento to visit Lecce and its beautiful beaches, but this part of Italy is so much more! I will make you discover the so many traces of the Byzantine culture clearly displayed in the amazing St. Stephen Church in Soleto, an incredible evidence of the Greek background in this part of Apulia and its unique small historic center. The visit to the St. Catherine Basilica will amaze you! Its stunning fresco cycle is second only to the one in Assisi. Have you ever heard about "Taranta dance"? If you haven't yet. . . well, join this tour! Last but not least the visit of Gallipoli and its island. We will finish the day enjoying an aperitif at my favourite place to experience also the best sunset!
• The tour begins with the visit of Soleto. We will visit the beautiful St. Steven small church full of Byzantine frescoes, the Orsini Steeple plus the beautiful narrow streets of the historic center. • Then head to Galatina (by car) to the Pasticceria Ascalone, where Pasticciotto cake was invented. • Guided tour to the beauties of Galatina and its wonderful historic center, where are located the St. Catherine Basilica - second only to the one in Assisi because its frescos (XIII century), St. Paul Chapel, famous for the phenomenon of the Tarantate and the Mother Church. • Lunch break at sea and visit of Gallipoli in the afternoon. • Walking tour in the narrow and windy streets of the historic center of the sea town, situated on a rock in the sea filled with wonderful churches (St. Agatha, Purity, and St. Francis) and monuments in "Gallipolino" baroque style. • Water front aperitif at sunset. I can create a customized tour for you in case you have special requests or if you have more than 3 people.
