Getting married in Salento

Baroque Lecce, two seas and the heel of Italy

Salento is the southern tip of Puglia, between the Adriatic and the Ionian Sea. Lecce, the “Florence of the South”, is famous for its baroque churches and golden stone; along the coast, Otranto, Gallipoli and Santa Maria di Leuca offer beaches and seaside venues.

PLANNING TIPS

Distances in Salento are longer than they look on the map: I plan guest accommodation and shuttles around the venue to keep travel times short.
