Lecce is located on the dog leg of Italy and is in close proximity to several beautiful coastal towns. Otranto is just a 40 minutes’ drive to the south east of Lecce and is a great place to visit for a day trip. A main feature of this delightful coastal town is the Aragonese Castle that was constructed in the 15th century.
