Whether you choose to drive through the heel of Italy, from Lecce to Otranto, or from the Ionian to the Adriatic coast, the breathtaking town of Poggiardo - delicately hued, simply yet uniquely elegant – is a pleasant stop for all those interested in culture and nature.
Poggiardo’s millennial history starts in the period between the Bronze and the Iron Age, with the Messapi people, very likely the first tribe to settle in the lands of Puglia, as demonstrated by relevant archaeological findings unearthed in nearby hamlet Vaste.
