In addition to lazing on the beaches of Salento or visiting towns in search of architectural and natural beauties, there is a vast variaty of alternatives to discover.
For those who love to walk (or Nordic walking and trekking) you can opt for “do it yourself” trips among centuries-old olive groves, farms, paths near or by the sea, between the sand or the cliffs. There are also many realities in the area that deal with organizing tours and experiences, according to needs, forming small groups or single visits, which are followed by professional guides.
The same apples for those who love cycling (many companies rent bicycles, e-bikes, mountain bikes): pedaling along the ancient Via Traiana in the "Coastal Dunes Natural Park" from Torre Canne to Torre San Leonardo, will lead beautiful and unique naturalistic scenarios, alternating with visits to underground oil mills, typical farmhouses of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and imposing watchtowers built in the Aragonese period to alert the local populations in case of the threat of Moor raids.
If, on the other hand, you love to stay in contact with the sea water, in this case too, there are many possibilities: from boat trips to visit the coasts, to fishing excursions, (there are several boats ready to sail from Torre Canne to Porto Cesareo, passing through Santa Maria di Leuca), and not to mention sea trips for whale & dolphin watching off the Ionian and Adriatic seas.
For those who would like to snorkel and dive, Salento is a real paradise, with various possibilities for renting all the necessary items in the various equipped seaside resorts.
For those who love sports, there is no shortage of water sports: thanks to the wind you can practice water sports such as windsurfing and kite-surfing, with the possibility of renting the equipment in the various local centers.
Bird watching is easily practiced in the reserves and protected parks. Here the wetlands are a particularly suitable habitat for birds to find abundant food and shelter. In these areas you can admire many species of migratory birds and other animals that populate the waters of the lakes and the reeds.
Finally, golf lovers can find several centers where they can practice their favorite sport, the closest being just 30 minutes by car from Villa Trullo dei Mori.
