We are thrilled to offer these fun, relaxing and edifying excursions during our Puglia retreat. You'll walk away with a strong sense of the Salento peninsula's history, and the waves of settlement and cultural influence over thousands of years.
We often have lunch or a snack in a restaurant when we visit a city; you may choose your own meal, beverages and shopping as those are paid on your own. Excursion charges cover transportation, tour guidance, (light) trekking experiences, Italian interpretation (and aperitivo in Lecce).
