Cultural tours

After lessons in the morning, we take our minibus with private driver on various cultural tours. Salento has a lot to offer and a lot to tell. Olive oil has made this region rich for over 300 years. The particularly light-colored and slightly sooty Apulian oil was sold throughout Europe as an illuminant. Gallipoli was the hub and center of this trade. Lecce, the Florence of the south, is one of the most beautiful baroque towns and demonstrates this wealth with its castle, amphitheater, cathedral and over 35 churches. But we also want to get to know Alberobello with its typical conical stone roofs and Otranto, the special harbor town on the Adriatic.

Wine tasting

Wine tastings in Salento with the famous Negroamaro, Primitivo, Aglianico, etc. etc. are a must. In the last 20 years, the wines of Puglia have become very well known in Switzerland and generally all over the world. They are fruity, noble and mostly with a high alcohol content of around 13% by volume.

Bauxite mine

This natural spectacle can be seen south of Otranto. A huge pit filled with water, surrounded by laterite soils full of iron, hence the red color.

The church of Galatina

An unparalleled sight. Beautiful frescoes that are still well preserved and maintained. An indescribable attraction

Cooperation
