Excellent tour but must email in advance to check your times. Only 12€ for the tour with 4 different olive oils to taste. Very informative tour and we learnt a lot about olive trees dating back to the Roman times and olive oil making. There is a cave where the original olive presses live. This is a family run olive farm and they have A lot of passion about their olives and trees. Fantastic must see place.

Easily one of the most interesting churches in the entire region. The early medieval floor mozaic based on a tree of life motif is incredible and is in fantastic condition.

Lecce is a true center piece of Baroque architecture. The Basilica a excellent example of this style. You really need to stand and study the building with your eyes as you would a piece of art.

One of the most impressive churches we visited during our long trip to Italy. A most impressive church both in the exterior structure and especially in the incredible richness of all the works of art that fill the interior space of this amazing church. Very impressive and highly recommended.
