Spiaggia di Torre Chianca

Reviewed By PanameraGTS - Rotterdam, The Netherlands

We spent almost a week in Porto Cesareo and discovered this beautifull beach on our last day. The sand is white, the sea crystal blue and not too crowded like other beaches in the area. Nice to swim a few hundred meters to the nearby island. We had a perfect day.

Palude del Conte e Duna Costiera

Beautiful beach of Ionian Salento, characterized by large expanses of sand (for lovers of relaxation) and crystal clear water with blue-green shades, which, together with the seabed, and the water shallow for several meters from the coast, recall tropical destinations

We decided to change our itinerary a bit to get away from some of the nice but crowded and traffic-filled towns in Puglia to enjoy a coastal drive for a while. I'd remembered reading about Porto Cesareo while researching our trip, so we headed there, and it turned out to be one of the nicest overnights of our trip. It was just the right size to avoid the traffic congestion we found in many of the other towns we visited, plus we found that once we parked our car at our hotel (the scenically-situated Isola Lo Scoglio hotel) we could stroll across the water on their small bridge to restaurants and markets in town. Another bonus of the town we found was the fact that most the restaurants opened at 6 pm, and we had a delicious and reasonably-priced dinner at Le Arcate. We got the feeling that the town doesn't see many English-speaking visitors compared to many of the tourist-destination towns in Puglia, and we found everyone we met to be very friendly and welcoming. It was a wonderful start to our drive around the coast.

Spiaggia di Punta Prosciuto

Reviewed By melapage - Vicenza, Italy

We visited the beach twice and each time enjoyed ourselves. In the area called Le Dune there is a nice snack bar that offers decent food at a good price. Only downside is the continual parade of beach traders selling anything from bags to bows and arrows. Great weather and fantastic clear water. Sandy beach.
