Otranto: Italy's Eastern Gem with Jewel-Toned Waters

🌊 Why Otranto Stole My Heart Crystal-clear turquoise sea – the clearest waters I’ve seen since leaving Bari! Historical charm: A coastal town with Greek influences, where Italy’s first sunrise touches land. Biggest regret? Not planning more time here—this place deserves a repeat visit! 🍽️ Must-Do Experiences Eat: Fresh scampi (raw langoustines) at any seaside trattoria – so sweet it tastes like the ocean’s candy! Ride: Hop on an Apecar (tiny tourist buggy, ~€40/30 mins) for a breezy coastal tour. Swim: The water is so clear, you’ll feel like you’re floating in liquid sapphire. 💡 Travel Tips Best time to visit: Early morning for sunrise or late afternoon to avoid crowds. Walking vs. riding: The coastline is long—Apecar saves tired feet! #ItalianSummer #MediterraneanDreams #HiddenGems
