The Salento beaches on the Ionian coast present a rustic landscape, gorgeous sea, and an excellent alternative to the Adriatic beaches. The particular location of Borgo delle Querce holiday homes, in Martina Franca the center of Puglia, allows you to reach them only 40 minutes by car. A day trip is advisable in order to fully enjoy the beauty of the Salento sea, also because the bathing establishments are very well equipped. Leaving the house of Casa degli Ulivi, and just after our tratturo (ancient small country road) turn left onto the SS 172 towards Taranto-S.Giorgio Ionico-Faggiano-Lizzano-Marina di Lizzano. Once you arrive at the Marina di Lizzano you can park in the car parks that the individual shores provide with subsequent transfer by bus to the beach (Cost € 5 daily parking included bus, transfer 2 minutes). In the off-season months it is possible to park along the road that runs along the sea, and from there it is only a few steps to the beach. In front of your eyes there is a splendid white beach and Salento crystalline sea. You just have to bask in the sun and enjoy the services of the many beaches including Onda Blu Lido, La Spiaggetta Club, Bahia del Sol, Lido Valeria, Conca del Sole or you can take advantage of the free beach and use your umbrella that Borgo delle Querce makes available in each villa. After spending the day at the enchanting Salento sea along the road that takes you back to Martina Franca, we recommend a pleasant stop at the Cantina sociale of Lizzano and / or Cantine Soloperto to taste their wines. It is here that the tour begins in the tasting of the excellent Apulian red primitivo, light white or fresh rosé directly in the cellar or you can buy and enjoy them pleasantly on your own terrace of the villa at Borgo delle Querce.
