Lecce La Dolce Vita, Italie

Entertainment in Lecce is certainly no problem. With its major university (the most important Southern Italy) Lecce is the center of cultural movement in Puglia, a young city with a large population of students.

In summer, the Lecce movement transfers to the coast and villages of the Salento. The nights here are among the liveliest of Italy: discotheques and bars on the beach provide entertainment until the first light of the dawn. Otranto and Gallipoli are certainly the "hottest" cities, without forgetting Leuca, Castro and Santa Cesarea Terme.

The Salento is famous for being the Italian reggae capital: on the coast of Otranto in particular, quiet bars on the beach are transformed at night into reggae dancehalls for everyone.

More opportunities for enjoyment are found at the dozens of village festivals held in every village of the Salento. If you end up in Salento in August, don't miss the Notte della Taranta, a date with the culture of Grecìa Salentina to dance to the swirling rhythm of the "pizzica".
