- Day 1
Lecce
You'll arrive in Lecce, a city famous for its baroque architecture and detailed artistic work. It's often called the Florence of the South because of all the ornate buildings and decorative elements scattered throughout. Take time to get settled and walk around the old center to get a feel for the place.

Today you'll cycle about 50km through typical Salento countryside, heading down from Lecce toward the coast. The ride takes you through rural landscapes and then reaches Gallipoli, a charming town right on the Ionian Sea. It's a good day of riding with nice views of the rural areas before hitting the water.
