Otranto, the gateway to the East is a town in Italy that certainly needs no introduction, we are talking about a town that represents a gem that sparkles in all its facets, both in terms of history, tourism and landscape. This town has increased its popularity over the years thanks to a wise management of sustainable tourism combined with planning through its accommodation facilities now established for decades and also thanks to its timeless charm that endures. Salento, a land rich in multiple resources thus pampers its undisputed star in the wide range of tourist proposals that every year satisfy thousands of travelers who decide to spend part of their summer vacations (and more) in this wonderful territory. The Beach of Punta San Nicola or Filu de Mienzu as it is called by the locals is a stretch of coastline that is located in the town of Idruntino and precisely behind the port, characterized by several coves with a wide reef and a sea so transparent that you can mirror yourself. From these beautiful inlets it is possible to glimpse in the distance the suggestive panorama offered by the town of Otranto so you can contemplate it while taking advantage of a nice refreshing bath. The place is not very crowded, and even in the middle of the summer it all in all maintains a rather detached aspect compared to the confusion that is recorded in other tourist facilities in Otranto. A typical feature of Punta San Nicola Beach is the seabed rich in fauna so take advantage of it for a dive so you can also contemplate all those wonderful plays of light that filter through the cracks of this reef thanks to the bright rays of the sun. To find a flaw to this beautiful and lonely place maybe its little usability when the sea is a tad rough and it is a bit difficult to find a comfortable passage to access the water for the rest, if the day is calm the place deserves the five stars so relax and enjoy your day at the beach. Scent of summer and positive feelings...we are in Otranto...happy vacations.
