WHY THIS TREK

The Salento Sea Trail to Leuca

Five days on foot to the end of the land.

Group chat before departure
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

With the Guidders we walk La Via del Mare, part of the Cammino del Salento, from the heart of Puglia to the coast.

Day 1. From Lecce to San Foca, through ancient olive groves, farmsteads and open country. Day 2. From San Foca to Otranto, with the sea taking over. Day 3. From Otranto to Santa Cesarea Terme, along cliffs and coastal watchtowers. Day 4. From Santa Cesarea to Marina Serra, following the Adriatic coast. Day 5. From Marina Serra to Santa Maria di Leuca, where tradition has the Adriatic and the Ionian meeting.

5 reasons to come - arriving on foot at Santa Maria di Leuca - the ancient olive groves and farmsteads of inland Salento - Otranto, with its cathedral and its sea - the coastal watchtowers and Adriatic cliffs - a slow walk whose landscape changes every day

Who it suits Five consecutive days on mostly flat ground: you need to be used to walking long distances.

A slow, deep journey: set off with the Guidders.

Train your legs with a loaded backpack in the weeks before: you've got 1 h a day for 6 days in a row ahead. Nights in mountain huts are short: those who go to bed early the night before start better
✓
IN YOUR BACKPACK
A light backpack for 6 days: a change of clothes, a sleeping bag liner for the hut, a water bottle and poles. Always with you: a plaster, an antiseptic wipe and a small bag for rubbish
