     The Relais is situated on the beautiful Corso Roma from which, by a short walk you can cross a bridge and enter the historic center of the town, marked at its entrance by a beautiful castle, a XIV century fortress reflected in the sea, and one of the most important ports and markets for fresh fish in Salento. Then you meet ancient palaces and churches, through very narrow streets at whose entrances the invasion by Turks, Saracens and pirates where prevented by courageous combats.

At the extreme South of the Salentine Peninsula, Santa Maria di Leuca, ' de Finibus terrae ' is waiting for you.
