How to-get to San Cassiano
Salento is the land of the two seas and the wind: the beaches on the Adriatic are protected when the tramontane (N) and the gregale (NE) blow; the beaches on the Ionio are protected when the sirocco blows.
A central position, like Don Totu’s, allows you to decide every day what the best destination is, depending on the wind, and to find sheltered beaches.
The closest marine locations (Santa Cesarea Terme, Castro, Marittima e Andrano) feature a rocky coast, with a long succession of small bays and inlets, enchanting places where one can spend a full day at seaside. And after a day at the beach, the hinterland allows the traveler to enjoy the rest, the fresh air, the good food and traditions of Salento. For those who love the outdoor and wish to get to know more closely the nature of this land, we recommend pleasant walks, going through the “tratturi”, the grassy paths between olive trees.
