In your search of Italy and all of its beautiful corners, you do not want to miss the south eastern edge of the country, and in particular the town of Lecce. The “heel of the boot” of Italy provides many who come here with a variety of experiences for each of the senses.

Natural scenery, remnants of cultures thousands of years old, an eclectic array of cuisines, each set in motion by the many people that have inhabited this area over the years all call you to make a stop. The Mediterranean climate prevalent in this part of the country further enhances the enjoyment any visitor has of the area. The star of this area is Lecce, a city of approximately 95,000 inhabitants in the Apulia region. It is the capital of the province of Lecce, the second most populated province in the region.
