Otranto, the easternmost town in Italy, is a breathtaking blend of turquoise waters and ancient history.
The Enchanting Old Town
Walking through Otranto's historic center is like stepping back in time. Enclosed by massive Aragonese walls, its narrow white streets lead to stunning viewpoints.
The Cathedral and the Tree of Life
The Cathedral of Otranto houses one of the world's most mysterious and beautiful medieval floor mosaics. Created in the 12th century, it depicts a massive 'Tree of Life'.
Surrounding Natural Wonders
Just outside the town, you can explore the Bauxite Quarry with its striking emerald pond and red earth, or visit the Cape Palascia lighthouse.
