Top 13 things to do and attractions in Salve

Va very nice beach ended. It is very difficult to find sandy beaches in Puglia. This one is one of them and I think it definitely worth it! They call it "Maldives" ... Of course it's a metaphor. Nothing is like Maldives in terms of beaches. But anyways, if you're a beach person and would like to spend some time on the beach, this one it nice!

A wonderful beach, perfect for families with children! The water is crystal clear and shallow, ideal for safe swimming. The beach is clean and well maintained, with both sunbeds and enough free space if you prefer using your own towel or sheet. Peaceful atmosphere, soft sand, and easy access — everything you need for a relaxing day at the sea. Highly recommend it for a family holiday in Salento!

Best to go in the morning. During the evening the light doesn’t show the beauty of the place but in the morning it was beautiful. There were a lot of people during the weekend.

there are more beautiful beaches in Salento, but since there are no bad ones, this one deserves also a five star! :D

Personally, I didn't enjoy this beach. There were some weeds floating in the water, too many pushy vendors, and a lot of crowding and noise.

Nice beach with clear whater, good for children also. Nice sand , blue whater

The sea itself is great, but the rest is terrible. Extremely crowded on a Friday in July, no changing rooms and 1 public toilet somewhere in the parking lots for the whole beach. There are plenty good beaches around salento, not worth driving that far to the most crowded one.

Simply amazing!!

(Translated by Google) Incredible observatory, well organized with many different and interesting activities. Mr. Vito manages to capture attention with mastery and infinite knowledge! Beautiful experience that I recommend for any age group. "We are all made of star material" ♥️ (Original) Osservatorio incredibile, ben organizzato con tante attività diverse ed interessanti. Il sig. Vito riesce a catturare l'attenzione con maestria e una conoscenza infinita! Bellissima esperienza che consiglio per qualsiasi fascia d'età. "Siamo tutti fatti i materiale stellare" ♥️

(Translated by Google) A must-see for anyone in the area, and even beyond. People came from as far away as Taranto. Mr. Vito Lecci manages to engage everyone, young and old, and makes extremely complex things simple. A magnificent evening that included a planetarium, naked-eye and telescope observations, and the chance to touch meteorites. Go, go, go! (Original) Una visita che deve essere assolutamente fatta per chi è nelle vicinanza , ma anche oltre. C'erano persone che arrivavano da Taranto. Il Sig. Vito Lecci riesce a coinvolgere tutti, più giovani e non e riesce a rendere semplici cose estremamente complesse. Una serata magnifica che si svolge tra planetario, osservazioni ad occhio nudo e con i telescopi, meteoriti e poterli toccare con mano. Andate andate andate!!!

(Translated by Google) A unique and unforgettable experience, with Vito, who is the embodiment of a man of impressive culture, seasoned with incredible talent, passion, attention to detail, and dedication to a passion that has become his work and his life. The visit followed a step-by-step itinerary, accompanied by a knowledgeable guide. The first step was theoretical, to provide specific learning tips on the stars, planets, and so on. Then we moved on to the practical side, at midnight to see the stars: specifically, not just constellations, not just a nebula, but also Saturn!! What can I say... finally, we reached the stage of meteors, shooting stars, and fireballs, first showing us through photos and videos what they were and the effects they produced, and then touching and seeing some ancient and unique fragments. That said, I highly recommend this experience, because every time you see a sky, you will return to this different and special night. And as Vito says, clear skies to everyone!! (Original) Esperienza unica e indimenticabile, con Vito che è la dimostrazione di un uomo dalla cultura impressionante, condita con talento incredibile, passione, attenzione e dedizione per una passione che è diventata il suo lavoro e la sua vita. La visita è avvenuta seguendo un percorso, passo passo, accompagnati dalla grande guida sapiente. Il primo step è stato teorico, per dare le dritte a livello proprio di apprendimento sulle stelle, pianeti e così via. Poi si è passati al lato pratico, a mezzanotte a vedere le stelle: in particolare, non solo costellazioni, non solo una nebulosa, ma anche Saturno!! Che dire.. infine, siamo giunti alla fase delle meteore, stelle cadenti e bolidi, mostrando prima in foto e video cosa fossero ed effetti prodotti, per poi toccare con mano e vedere alcuni frammenti antichi e unici. Detto ciò, consiglio vivamente questa esperienza, perché ogni volta che si vedrà un cielo, si ritornerà a questa notte diversa e particolare. E come dice Vito, cieli sereni a tutti!!

(Translated by Google) Fantastic experience! Exciting and interesting thanks to the explanations and enthusiasm that Mr. Vito instills! Knowledge and love in their purest form! Congratulations! From now on, I will look at the sky with different eyes and with a different spirit. (Original) Esperienza fantastica! Emozionante interessante grazie alle spiegazioni e all entusiasmo che il sig. Vito infonde! Conoscenza e amore allo stato puro! Complimenti! Da ora in poi guarderò il cielo con altri occhi e con un altro spirito

(Original) Esperienza fantastica,Vito ci mette passione , tra luna,planetario,stelle e meteoriti la serata passa velocissima tutto molto interessante per bambini ma soprattutto adulti.

(Translated by Google) Vito is a guide to the heavens; he knows the names and positions of the stars like we know the streets of our neighborhood. The planetarium experience was wonderful, with so much information and curiosities, expertly explained to both adults and children. It was wonderful to be able to observe the Orion Nebula through a telescope, and observing the moon allowed us to experience the infinity of the universe firsthand. I will definitely be back. (Original) Vito è un Cicerone del cielo, conosce nome e posizione delle stelle come noi conosciamo le strade del nostro quartiere. Bellissima l'esperienza nel planetario, tante le informazioni e curiosità, spiegate magistralmente agli adulti ma anche ai bambini. Meraviglioso aver potuto osservare al telescopio la nebulosa di Orione e l'osservazione della luna ci ha permesso di toccare con mano l'infinità dell'universo. Ci tornerò sicuramente

Great spot on a long beach. Prices are fair, food is good. Very quick service

Terrible food and no one cared about the fact that the salad was filled with 99% salad and 1% fish. The hamburgers were terrible as they had carrots in the meat and the bread was made from pita and wasn’t even grilled with no sauce or cheese.

Beautiful place, amazing beach and super kind owners! We have enjoyed here two beautiful weeks.

Really liked this place! Welcoming staff. Focacce are tasty and good in size. Honest prices. Highly recommended the "crema di caffè" (coffee cream) yummy!

Beautiful beach with warm, turquoise coloured water and fine sand. Staff very friendly

Visited on a Monday in July and not too chaotic with plenty of sun lounges available. Very friendly owners and workers. Simple but delicious food which was perfect for lunch. Highly recommended for young children finding their way in the ocean.

We're on holiday with our Labrador dog, and it's his first time at the beach. For the first four days, we tried bringing him along, but he could only manage about 20–30 minutes before becoming very agitated. Then we discovered this amazing spot with a dedicated dog area—complete with a gazebo and a private enclosed space where dogs can run freely. We were finally able to stay for half a day without any issues! The service and the location are both fantastic. It truly felt like a dream come true to enjoy the beach with my dog by my side!

I have no idea how I see positive comments about this place. We came with our dog and sat at the sunbed. The owner came with a lot of attitude to tell us this is a private place and we should pay or leave. I told him I saw this online that and wanted to bring my dog to play but he was still rude telling me this is a private property. They charge 35 euros for an umbrella and they don't even have a beach, u have to climb down rocks to get there. Terrible attitude. We sat next door in a very nice beach bar with lovely people instead!

Beautiful animal friendly stylish lido. Very friendly staff and delicious Frisa (local savoury dish with soaked bread, olives, cappers, tomatoes, origano and olive oil).

Nice lido, clean, well organized. Expensive but all considered, good value for money. Wonderful sea.

Very nice place to relax... Not crowded at all. Gras lawn up to the beach and dog friendly. Cocktails, beer, food. Recommended.

A fantastic escape for your fluffy best friend

All beautiful apart from small vaviaries for the amount of parrots you have. I think that as a big agri culture club you can do more :)

This is a magic place. You can find yourself should you ever get lost. Not a place for everyone, just a place for those looking for simple beauty

nice beach but with stones in the sea. not so good for childs. Could have been clean more often

very nice place but to much plastic and dirt on the beach and in the water

Very quiet beach with a great ice cream place near by.

Some rocks in the sand but beautiful beach

Super beach,but lot of rocks in water

Perfect place for family holiday

Best Beach for swimming in Salento. Best Beachbar is Papeete Salentina

nice sandy beach. has a "free" part and plenty of lidos.

Very windy

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful stretches of free beach in Salento. Clear and very fine beach, clear and crystalline water, easy and free parking, beaches and kiosks in the immediate vicinity. The beach is not deep, there are the classic Salento dunes separating the inland coast, and it is never excessively crowded. A place where you really feel good. (Original) Uno dei tratti di spiaggia libera più belli del Salento. Spiaggia chiara e finissima, acqua limpida e cristallina, parcheggio facile e gratuito, lidi e chioschi nelle immediate vicinanze. La spiaggia non è profonda, ci sono le classiche dune salentine a separare la costa dell'entroterra, e non è mai eccessivamente affollata. Un posto dove si sta veramente bene.

(Translated by Google) It is no coincidence that they are called the Maldives of Salento.... places to see at least once.... kilometre-long beaches close to dunes enriched by sea lilies and nests of caretta-caretta turtles... very fine sand and wonderful sea... It's a shame for the incivility of many people (tourists but not only...) who leave their rubbish everywhere... (Original) Sono denominate , non a caso , le Maldive del Salento....luoghi da vedere almeno una volta.... spiagge chilometriche a ridosso di dune arricchite da gigli di mare e nidi di tartarughe caretta- caretta...sabbia finissima e mare meraviglioso... Peccato per l'inciviltà di tante persone ( turisti ma non solo...) che lasciano la loro spazzatura ogni dove...

(Translated by Google) I was there for a concert of baroque music, the church is very beautiful and has one of the oldest organs in Europe, absolutely worth a visit and then take a walk through the narrow streets of the town. (Original) Sono stato lì per un concerto di musica barocca, che chiesa è molto bella ed un organo tra più antichi d Europa, assolutamente da visitare e poi fare una passeggiata tra le viuzze del paese

(Translated by Google) Beautiful square, a little empty and too sunny....beautiful buildings (Original) Bella piazza, un pochino vuota e troppo assolata....bei palazzi

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful church, certainly worth visiting at least for the presence of the oldest organ in Puglia. Despite the passing of Don Lorenzo, the important annual event dedicated to the organ (Salento Organ Festival) is kept alive, with master organists of national and international fame. (Original) Chiesa molto bella, da visitare certamente almeno per la presenza dell'organo più antico di Puglia. Nonostante la scomparsa di don Lorenzo, viene mantenuta viva l'importante rassegna annuale dedicata all'organo (Festival Organistico del Salento), con Maestri organisti di fama nazionale ed internazionale.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful church, in a small town in the province of Lecce. Inside is the oldest functioning pipe organ in Puglia. The pulpit and the two paintings on the sides of the presbytery are very beautiful. As in the cathedral of Lecce, what appears to be the main entrance, overlooking the large square, actually leads to the center of the right nave. The central entrance is hidden (Original) Chiesa meravigliosa, in un piccolo paese della provincia di Lecce. Al suo interno l'organo a canne funzionante più antico di Puglia. Molto belli il pulpito e le due tele ai lati del presbiterio. Come nel duomo di Lecce, quella che sembra essere l'entrata principale, affacciata sulla grande piazza, immette in realtà al centro della navata destra. L'ingresso centrale è nascosto

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful churches in Salento. The organ is stunning, among the oldest in Europe, still in perfect working order, with various concerts organized periodically (Original) Una delle più belle chiese del Salento. Stupendo l organo, tra i più antichi d Europa, ancora perfettamente funzionante, con vari concerti che vengono organizzati periodicamente

(Translated by Google) This year was the fourth spent on holiday on this part of the Salento coast. Probably one of the nicest traits! Mostly wide beaches, light sand, crystal clear sea. A place very similar to paradise 😍. (Original) Quest' anno è stato il quarto passato in vacanza presso questa parte di litorale salentino. Probabilmente uno dei più bei tratti! Spiagge per lo più ampie, sabbia chiara, mare cristallino. Un luogo molto simile al paradiso 😍.

Gli occhi e il cuore si riempiono di meraviglia.

(Translated by Google) Beach nothing short of fantastic. The sea is enchanting. A clear expression of Salento. The video was taken leaving the bar on the beach between exit 4 and exit 3 of the "Riva di Ugento" campsite. The sea is enchanting. Also suitable for the little ones because the seabed is initially shallow. The water is clear. If you pass by the area I recommend it. (Original) Spiaggia a dir poco fantastica. Il mare incantevole. Una chiara espressione del Salento. Il video è stato fatto uscendo dal bar presente in spiaggia tra l'uscita 4 e l'uscita 3 del campeggio "Riva di Ugento". Il mare è incantevole. Adatto anche ai più piccoli perché il fondale inizialmente è basso. L'acqua ê limpida. Se passate in zona lo consiglio.

(Translated by Google) Lovely place that I return to whenever I can! Long free beach, well maintained, clean and controlled. Every year the caretta caretta turtles lay their eggs here. The nests are carefully defended and protected. Crystal clear sea typical of Salento. A spectacle! (Original) Luogo incantevole a cui ritorno ogni volta che posso! Lunga spiaggia libera ben tenuta, pulita e controllata. Ogni anno ci depongono le uova le tartarughe caretta caretta. I nidi vengono attentamente difesi e protetti. Mare cristallino tipico del Salento. Uno spettacolo!

(Translated by Google) The most beautiful beach I've ever seen in Italy. Shallow water, no rocks, and very wide. Enough space for everyone. (Original) Schönster Strand Italiens den ich bisher gesehen habe. Flaches Wasser, keinerlei Steine und sehr breit. Genügend Platz für alle.

(Translated by Google) Wide free beach. Spectacular sea. It gets a bit ruined in the afternoon. Parking on blue lines costs €5 all day. (Original) Spiaggia libera ampia. Mare spettacolare. Al pomeriggio si rovina un po’ . Parcheggio su strisce blu 5 euro tutto il giorno.

(Translated by Google) The Sanctuary Church of Santa Marina is a small jewel of medieval origin, expanded in the 17th century in full Baroque style. The site is clean and well-maintained, but unfortunately, there are no clear indications regarding opening hours and visiting methods: a detail that would make the experience much simpler and more accessible for visitors. (Original) La chiesa Santuario di Santa Marina è un piccolo gioiello di origine medievale, ampliato nel Seicento in pieno stile barocco. Il luogo si presenta pulito e ben tenuto, ma purtroppo mancano chiare indicazioni sugli orari di apertura e sulle modalità di visita: un dettaglio che renderebbe l’esperienza molto più semplice e accessibile ai visitatori.

(Translated by Google) I really like visiting the Sanctuary of Santa Marina in the small Ruggiano, a hamlet of Salve a stone's throw from the sea, especially at sunset, when the sun lights up its carparo facade red, the hard Lecce stone with which the buildings were built. Inside there are frescoes of fine workmanship. And if you are lucky, some local residents will tell you about the life of Santa Marina with faith and devotion. Around the Sanctuary there is an extraordinary area to visit: the beaches with desert-coloured sand and the very blue sea, with dunes covered in wild lilies, Torre Pali which has its base entirely in the water and then Posto Vecchio, the Pescoluse and still the village of Salve with a characteristic historic center and the church dedicated to San Nicola Magno, protector of the town. The simple gastronomy with intense flavors is amazing. But what will strike you most is the welcome of the Salvesi, who with great kindness and without ulterior motives, will welcome you as one of their own and will make you want to become inhabitants of the village in all respects. (Original) Mi piace molto visitare il Santuario di Santa Marina nella piccola Ruggiano, frazione di Salve a due passi dal mare, soprattutto al tramonto, quando il sole accende di rosso la sua facciata in carparo, la pietra leccese dura con cui si costruivano gli edifici. All'interno ci sono affreschi di pregevole fattura. E se sarete fortunati qualche abitanti della zona, vi racconterà con fede e devozione la vita di Santa Marina. Intorno al Santuario c'è un territorio straordinario da visitare: le spiagge dalla sabbia color del deserto e il mare azzurrissimo, con le dune ricoperte di gigli selvatici, Torre Pali che ha la base interamente nell'acqua e poi Posto Vecchio, le Pescoluse e ancora il borgo di Salve con un caratteristico centro storico e la Chiesa dedicata a San Nicola Magno protettore del paese. Strepitosa la gastronomia semplice e dai sapori intensi. Ma quello che vi colpirà di più è l'accoglienza dei salvesi, che con molta gentilezza e senza secondi fini, vi accoglieranno come uno di loro e vi faranno desiderare di diventare abitanti del borgo a tutti gli effetti.

(Translated by Google) Small sanctuary with rather singular architecture, with 2 naves, with a bipartite facade that reflects the articulation of the internal spaces. The story of the Saint after whom the Church is named, an ancient pilgrimage destination for the sick in search of grace, is very fascinating. The internal frescoes are lovely. (Original) Piccolo Santuario dall'architettura piuttosto singolare, a 2 navate, con facciata bipartita che riflette l'articolazione degli spazi interni. Molto affascinante la storia della Santa a cui è intitolata la Chiesa, antica meta di pellegrinaggio per i malati in cerca di grazia. Graziosi gli affreschi interni.

(Original) Il 17 luglio ricorre la festa di Santa Marina, il santuario é molto antico, e la gente del paese è molto legata a questa santa e la sua storia.

(Translated by Google) A particular statue that crushes evil with its foot, represented by a sea monster. (Original) Particolare statua che con il piede schiaccia il male rappresentato da un mostro marino

(Original) Bel sito storico in scarse condizioni di manutenzione, merita in ogni caso una visita per il fascino dei 2 frantoi su 2 livelli di successivi periodi storici.

(Original) Bel posto, rilassante e accogliente. Ci sono stato in occasione di un mercatino dell'artigianato con musica dal vivo. Il mercatino un po'piccolo per essere definito tale, serviva qualche attrazione in più.
