The place turns out to be all in all quiet even in the middle of summer, here you can breathe an air of absolute relaxation and while sunbathing you can admire from afar all the beauty of Otranto in its complexity. The Punta Craulo Lighthouse is frequented by both families with children and different tourists, the point turns out to be convenient in that one can choose whether to prefer the beach or the cliff and in this way satisfy different needs. To highlight is the masonry walkway with beautiful round arches that lead directly to the lighthouse and from which you can see a breathtaking view; these are just some of the beauties that this fantastic town offers, the peculiarities of Otranto are not disputed and every year they attract thousands of tourists from all over the world to admire not only the sea and the coasts but also the timeless charm of a shimmering pearl that is Otranto... have a good summer.
