According to the New York Times, Puglia is one of the most sought-after international destinations , an absolute must-visit this year. We, obviously, agree: in the numerous incentive trips that we have organized in this splendid region - and in particular in the Salento area - we have had the opportunity to discover some of its wonders, in a splendid balance of nature, history, flavors and culture that never ceases to amaze. We recently organized a weekend halfway between incentive and team building , for an international client, in the splendid setting of Otranto. We led a small group of professionals to discover one of the most mysterious and fascinating places in Europe, perhaps in the world.
What is behind the unmistakable charm of Puglia? What makes this Italy WhatsApp Number Data region so irresistible to those who travel, for pleasure or for work? What has made Otranto in particular a highly sought-after and popular destination both in Italy and abroad? We may not be able to answer these questions, but we will certainly try to tell you about our experience and the origin of our passion for this corner of paradise.

At that moment, you will be on the eastern tip of the Italian peninsula. It is not possible to go further east than this, without entering the sea. This means that every day, Otranto sees the first sunrise in the country rising from the sea.
This particularity, however, is only one of the fragments that make up the mosaic of Otranto's identity, a fascinating syncretism of eastern and western influences , with very white beaches and a crystalline sea surrounding the architectural masterpieces that tell the complex and ancient history of the city. Also known as the "city of Martyrs", Otranto has spread around the old city, a fortified complex which cannot be accessed by car. Once you have left your car in the large parking areas that surround the centre, you venture on foot through narrow and winding alleys, among the buildings that harmoniously mix the typical structures of medieval Europe and the Turkish, Arab and Greek influences that are characteristic of this area and which have intertwined for over a millennium. The city's macabre nickname derives from the martyrdom of 800 Christians during the Turkish invasion of 1480. The bones and skulls of the martyrs are today exhibited in the splendid cathedral of Otranto. This splendid church is also famous for its magnificent mosaic floor – one of the largest and oldest in the world – which represents the tree of life.
