Amazing beach! Be careful though: they will tell you that there is no parking by the beach to force you to pay 5€ and take their shuttle but off season, you can easily come and park for free in the pinewood where the shuttle drops you.

I went in September 2023 and there is three car parks. There is a FREE one that is the closest to the beach. The first car park you see has car park attendants demanding you to stop for parking and cost 5 euros. Ignore them and turn left into the road directing you to the beach. The second car park has a charge for 3 euros. Also ignore as you can continue along the paved road. The third and last car park is FREE and fits about 50 cars and is untimed. Check out that car park first and if no spots then turn back to the other car parks. Note the walk if you stop at the first car park is at least 20 minutes until the beach which is crazy. So get to the free and closest car park The beach has soft sand, and water is nice. Nice for a day lying down to relax

The area is windy but it's nice. The private area with ombrelloni has crazy prices. So we decided to stay at the free beach. From the first parking area you have to walk about 15 min but its easy.

Pros: beautiful beach, fine sand and shallow water (good for children). Cons: expensive parking (5-7€), long walk through the pine forrest (depending on where you park, it can be 200m to 1000m). The closest to the beach parking is not open before 8am so if you’re an early riser, manage accordingly.

One of the best picture perfect beaches in Salento, We can’t wait to come here in the summer again

Truly stunning, water was amazing, clear, aqua blue, warm and the sand so soft. It did take a little bit of a 15 minute walk to get there though. As we parked at the beginning of a road, then had to walk about 1 km to reach it through road, bush and finally down the small cliff face. All worth it and didn’t get out of the water for an hour it was that good.

Great beach, though overpriced seats if you come for a couple hours, 30 euros for 2 seats. No shower, no real toilet, only portable stuff because it's super remote. The beach is like a dream. Sand, clean, super safe, starts with a bath and then you can swim pretty far. Waves very mellow with southern wind.

Lovely sandy beach split naturally into small coves by the curved rocks. There’s a car park just 5 mins walk away through the woods for €5 a day. Not much down there in terms of facilities or refreshments so best to come prepared. Water is shallow a fairly long way out - great for swimming

Beautiful beach! We stopped by in July 2023 and it was very hot this day so there were quite a lot of people on the beach. Renting a parasol and two sunbeds was 30 € but essential as the sun was strong. The sand gets super hot so make sure to bring sandals or similar. The sand was great quality and the water was very clear with gentle waves when we visited.

First of all, you need to walk around 1 km to the beach from the parking. But every step is totally worth it. There are some guys who are asking 5 to 7 Euros for parking... We were just parking next to the road just like the locals. We asked some Italians and they said it is okay ... So I guess you can safe that money for the parking. The beach itself is really nice the water is clear. We went in the evening so it was not that crowded. I think with sunshine and on the weekends it might get crowded. I think the sunrise could be very nice there

Fantastic beach near Otranto. Water is Crystal clear, sand is soft and comfortable, and the beach is surrounded by rocks and beautiful trees. Not that much infrastructure there, as it is in a natural protection reserve. Parking far away, but with a shuttle included in the 4euros. Count, after the stop of the shuttle, on one kilometer walk, difficult to access for small children or person with disabilities

Amazing beach nearby Otrando ! Warmly recomended! You van live a car nearby for free or you can park your car in the park neqr the beach where you have to pay. To get to the beach you will walk through the forest where you can hear cycadas! After a -10 minute walk you will reach an amazing wide sand beach where water is crystal and bkye and green. The beach was crowded byt you can stroll and find place for yourself ! On the beach you will find a beach bar which serve cold beer 3 euro, diffrent types of coffee 2 euro and cold proseco wine 2 euro and some types of panini . Warmly recommeded .

Il mare è cristalino. un bar è alla spiage servire birra freda, proseco freda, caffè e gelato è panini.Reccomando caldamente.OO

Beautiful sandy beach with crystal clear water, and deserted in September. Multiple access points through the forest, depending on which parking area you come from. Absolutely not wheelchair accessible or suitable for strollers, but otherwise rather friendly pathway for anyone able to walk.

One of the most suggestive and amazing wild beach in Salento coast. There are just few bathhouse, it is suggested bring your own equipment for enjoying the sea. Parking car located very close to the beach (free also).

Such a great beach! The water is warm and very clean. If you want to take a spot with an umbrella and two beach beds, it costs 25€ for the whole day and is totally worth it :)

Throughout our week Puglia tour we saw dozens of beautiful Churches, but this one counts in top 3. It's set in the center of old town Otranto dating back to 11c. A rather simple stone facade hides amazing Tree of Life mosaic spread over the entire Church floor. Another Church highlight is the beautiful wood carved ceiling, as well the skulls and bones Chapel of the Martyrs. After paying hefty entry fees in Lecce Churches, I was pleasantly surprised entry here is free

Great and impressive old monument with a huge mosaic work...

Otranto Cathedral has three interesting points (I would say: hits) - floor mosaics made by fra Pantaleone, crypt with interesting columns and relics of Otranto martyrs. It's free to enter but there is long siesta (12-30 - 15-30)

Great cathedral in a great city with a great history. Love the floor mosaic. So beautiful. It does close for the hours of riposo so keep that in mind.

Here is a place where you can see how ages ago people learned of the Bible. The mosaics told the story of the tree of life and the division of Heaven and Hell. Having survived the conversion to a Mosque and back most of the frescoes were destroyed... butfor some reason they left the images of Mary... and a few of Christ on the cross.

The Cattedrale di Otranto combines a Byzantine and Romanesque style. It was built by the Normans. Nearly 800 civilians and clerics were killed by the Turks who had besieged the town. Their bones are arranged inside the chapel. There are impressive frescoes and mosaics. In the basement, there is the crypt with plenty of columns with different styles of capitals and materials. A priest who met spoke Grico!

Glorious and a real surprise. We were passing through Otranto and went to see the Cathedral. We entered through the Crypt where we were greeted by incredible organ music. The church itself is amazing. Filled with history and different influences, it boast both a spectacular ceiling and jaw-dropping floor. The floor is a tree of life mosaic, populated by mythical beasts. Worth a visit 1000 %.

A real surprise, the Arbor vitae mosaic is great, weird little animals - I found the ceiling design even better - but the biggest mad thing about the place is the remains of the 800 Martyrs, well worth a (creepy) videos t

A must-see monument in Otranto, originally dating from the 9th century when Otranto was a hellenic town and part of the East Roman empire ruled over by the Roman emperor in Constantinople/Byzantium/modern Istanbul. The basilica, seat of the bishop of Otranto, is laid out in the Roman basilica style with one center and two lower side naves. The flat wooden ceiling over the center nave is ornately decorated. A marvelous mosaic covers the entire church floor. There is also a crypt below the main church.

If you want to experience all the crazy flowers that faith and religion brings with it in their purest form, you should go to the cathedral of Ortranto. You can see the influences from occitania, which today are portrayed as esoteric and superstitious. You can see the blood that was shed in the form of hundreds of thousands of skulls below in the crypt and you can smell the Catholic stench everywhere.

Beautiful place. Not far from city center (20 min. walk)

Geen echte toeristische attractie, maar zeker een aanrader als je in de buurt bent van Otranto. Indrukwekkende rode bauxiet steen met een meertje in het midden. (Translated by Google) Not a real tourist attraction, but definitely recommended if you are near Otranto. Impressive red bauxite stone with a small lake in the middle.

Amazing place and well worth checking out

Zeker even stoppen bij dit kleine pareltje. De kleuren zijn echt prachtig. Verwacht geen enorme spot, het is één soort krater. Er is een parkeerplaats op een paar minuten lopen. (Translated by Google) Definitely stop at this little gem. The colors are really beautiful. Don't expect a huge spot, it's one kind of crater. There is a car park a few minutes walk away.

Nice hiking spot

In Salento - in southern Italy - a few km southeast of Otranto, you can make a trip to Mars while staying on Earth in a unique natural setting. In fact, the lake is a quarry from which bauxite was extracted, a mineral from which aluminum is obtained The quarry was used between 1940-1976 when it was decommissioned It took on this aspect when it ceased to operate. A pond with emerald green water has been formed with water infiltrations of one of the many aquifers The earth is red fire for the presence of the mineral, the vegetation and the color of the water give a unique experience. We are a stone’s throw from Capo d'Otranto, where the distance between Italy and Albania is at least 70km. Good weather conditions allow you to see the Albanian coast in front. You can enjoy this area with my customized hiking, boat/dinghy and bike guided tours along this stretch of coast, available high quality road bicycle and boat/dinghy rentals. (Check out my profile)

Worth visiting

Amazing spot- much bigger than it looks in the photos and incredible colours.

Amazing place

Amazing beach. So clear and beautiful coast! Want to come every year 😍

The beach is very clean with almost white sand and crystal clear waters, you can choose out of many different Lidos and beach activities. On the weekends during the peak season it is very packed and crowded so I would recommend to come early or the reserve a spot upfront. Ask in your hotel for collaborations and with the different beach clubs, sometimes you’ll get better prices.

Best beach we visited in our week in Otranto! Lots of Lidos but there is a great spiaggia libera right at the mouth of the lake and we found few people there and had a beautiful day. Park at "parcheggio dei turchi" for €3.50 all day and it's an easy hike to find the beach.

Came here in October. Tourist season long over, the sun shining as beautifully as ever. This is one of the prettiest beaches I have seen in Europe. If at all possible, come here when the crowds are gone and explore. There are far more magical corners to be found if you are willing to take a walk...

Beautiful beach with clean caribbean water but extreamly crowded in high season. Some unpleasent expirience with the staff on the beach entrance too.

Crystal clear water, wide beach, amazing place for vacation!

The Aragonese Castle in Otranto was built during the Spain rule in late 15 c. It occupies a commanding position above the old town protecting the harbor entrance. It's a classic turret castle with a moat around it. Great views of the old town and entire bay from the tower

The castel of otranto and walls inclose the old city which dates from the 1500,s is a wonderful imposing structure which has many walk ways and view points to see, inside you can visit the turrets, and theres many rooms with artworks, the view fron the very top is amazing which you can see otranto fully, not very busy so is relaxing, the old town has many shops, bars and has a turkish eastern europiean feel to it, with narrow streets and cobble stone walkways. Plenty to like, and night life has many clubs and bars. Cost 12 euros to vist but children are free. Great exlerience.

A must see when in Otranto, go all the way to the top for a great views

All the review photos that people are putting up are from the free viewpoints that aren’t in the castle. The top of the castle is closed to visitors and the castle itself is underwhelming. For €12 per person, this is potentially the worst value castle in Italy. Save the money. See the mote and viewpoints for free from outside the castle. If you’re a couple, that €24 buys lunch with wine instead. You’re welcome. 😂

Beaufiful building with magnificent views over Otranto and its harbour. Friendly staff. It's better to visit the castle "Forte a Mare" being accompanied by a guide to show you around and better understand it. As well the interior of the castle hosted the Banksy's exhibition in 2021 during my visit there. Really interesting and impressive

The imposing and impressive castle, the Castle of Otranto has 3 towers and a moat. It hosts exhibitions. It is well maintained. There is a book: "The Castle of Otranto", a gothic novel by Horace Walpole (1764).

Small castle with some permanent but mini history exhibitions. I was there end of April just bumped into a small temporary exhibition of Chagall

Beautiful piece of history with nice exhibitions. Great views from the top across Otranto

The old centre of town with a nice Castle wall walk and lots of interesting streets within the walls that contain many restaurants and shops. A great place to visit at night.

You pay 12 euros just to see the views and some exhibitions but the most important thing which is the historial explanations are nowhere. Besides It has been too modernized and the essence of the Castle is lost . Thus, It is such a high price to pay for exhibitions which have nothing to do with the Castle

Imposing fortress, a witness of the city's history. It is easy to visiting and has good views of the harbor and old town.

Nice lakes... peaceful - December late afternoon. Hard to get down to the lakes in other places. Nice walks in woods though rather littered.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place, nature, a real pleasant break with appreciable landscapes. We enjoyed visiting it out of season because we were alone. We were able to land on the bench at the start of the course but didn't see any other vantage point for a picnic. On the other hand, what a disappointment to find so much waste that seems really old ... Watch out for the road to the parking lot, you have the impression of going to the end of the world, rocky road. (Original) Endroit très beau, nature, une vraie pause agréable avec des paysages appréciables. Nous avons pris plaisir à le visiter hors saison car nous étions seuls. Nous avons pu nous poser sur le banc au début du parcours mais n’avons pas vu d’autre point de vue pour un pique-nique. Par contre, quelle déception de trouver autant de déchets qui semblent vraiment anciens... Attention pour la route vers le parking, on a l’impression d’aller au bout du monde, route en caillou.

Very nice, calm place, not so many people

Cool lake that segways into the ocean. Go for a stroll or jog!

(Translated by Google) Generated by the continuous erosion of the sea, it offers a beautiful panorama. Surrounded by a rich rocky band covered with thick pine forests and Mediterranean scrub. You can see it from the street and there is ample parking for cars. Behind you are long stretches of sand and a crystal clear sea (Original) Generato dalla continua erosione del mare offre un panorama bellissimo. Circondato da una ricca fascia rocciosa ricoperta da folte pinete e macchia mediterranea. È possibile vederlo dalla strada e vi è un ampio parcheggio per le auto. Alle spalle lunghe distese di sabbia ed un mare cristallino

(Translated by Google) The place deserves so much but is not adequately valorised and protected. The transit ban is not respected, the signs need to be redone, a non-existent picnic area although indicated on the signs, scattered rubbish. However, it remains a place rich in fauna and flora, far from the chaos of the beaches. Several hours must be dedicated to be able to walk the various paths that run along the lake. The most "known" point is the bench with a panoramic view, not far from a car park. Free entry. (Original) Il luogo merita tanto ma non è adeguatamente valorizzato e protetto. Il divieto di transito non viene rispettato, la segnaletica è da rifare, area picnic inesistente seppur indicata nella segnaletica, rifiuti sparsi. Rimane comunque un luogo ricco di fauna e flora, lontani dal caos delle spiagge. Vanno dedicate diverse ore per poter percorrere i vari sentieri che costeggiano il lago. Il punto più “conosciuto” è la panchina con vista panoramica, poco lontana da un parcheggio per auto. Ingresso gratuito.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience, place surrounded by nature. Free parking, Mr. Lucio's water bikes are definitely worth trying. We didn't book but it is recommended to do so for the bike ride. (Original) Bellissima esperienza, luogo immerso nella natura. Parcheggio gratuito, sicuramente sono da provare le bici d’acqua del signor Lucio. Noi non abbiamo prenotato ma è consigliato farlo per il giro in bici.

(Translated by Google) Enchanting, uncontaminated place, not easy to reach as the access points are limited, rich in fauna and flora, little frequented (fortunately). Absolutely worth protecting. Absolutely worth seeing. (Original) Luogo incantevole incontaminato, non facile da raggiungere in quanto i punti d'accesso sono limitati, ricco di fauna e flora, poco frequentato ( per fortuna). Assolutamente da proteggere. Assolutamente da vedere.

Avoid this place during weekends, especially during July and August. It is simply overcrowded and super noisy. Also, if you like attention to details and fine dining, this is not a place for you. On the other hand, if you don't mind fast-food kind of quality and overpriced, quick lunch then you might like it.

Wij hebben hier op het strand gelezen. Bedjes, parasol + parkeren was 33 euro. We hebben geluncht in het restaurant. We moesten best een tijdje wachten tot we het eten kregen, hij bleek het uiteindelijk vergeten zijn door te geven. Het eten kwam daarna snel en was lekker! (Translated by Google) We read here on the beach. Beds, parasol + parking was 33 euros. We had lunch in the restaurant. We had to wait quite a while until we got the food, but in the end it turned out that he forgot to pass it on. The food came quickly after that and was tasty!

Unfortunately, we came here when a volleyball tournament was on. The DJ was the most terrible I’ve ever heard. The sound was jacked up to ear blasting, then turned off, then quiet... all in the same song. Sometimes the song was introduced then 30 seconds later switched to another. Sometimes half the song was on full volume, then barely heard. It was a complete mess. It was dreadful and frustrating after 4 hours of this happening. The food was underwhelming and expensive- beware. The wine was nice, the beach was clean. I would not come back.

Awful place, overcrowded, sun beds so close you can smell the person next to you... Avoid at all costs!

Nice food, nice beach, nice staff.

Beste Strand! Personal sehr nett. (Translated by Google) Best beach! Staff very nice.

Lovely beach, warm sea great for swimming beds brolly table 10 euro. Spotlessly clean. Good toilets showers, great cafe bar selling meals wine beers ice cream Sushi. Some stalls on site selling holiday clothes and gifts.

Vanuit ons hotel Basiliani in Otranto met shuttle busje naar dit strand gegaan!!! Een echt Italiaans strand vol bedden en parasols, schoon, lekker zwemwater!! Het horeca gedeelte is wat massaal met buffet restaurant of a la carte maar dan heb je meteen een hele maaltijd!! Voor een middagje prima om hier naartoe te gaan! (Translated by Google) From our hotel Basiliani in Otranto we took a shuttle bus to this beach!!! A real Italian beach full of beds and umbrellas, clean, nice swimming water!! The catering area is a bit crowded with a buffet restaurant or a la carte, but then you immediately have a whole meal!! Great to go here for an afternoon!

First of all, I’ll give 5 stars for the restaurant! We had lunch here 2 times, amazing! We had grilled octopus ( the best i’ve ever had), seafood pasta (the sauce was very smooth and nice), seabass and the best Sushi everrr, trust me! We tried 2 sushi platters (30,50 pieces) each time everything was so fresh and tasty, I m literally dreaming about that sushi! You should definetely try this restaurant, even if you don t want to stay at their private beach, just come for the food! About the beach, in my point of view 50 euros for 2 sunbeds in the prive area where they don t even give you a bottle of water in that price, it’s too much so it doesn t really worth the money…In the normal area it’s 25€/2 sunbeds but you should know that is very very crowded. The beach itself it s beautiful and clean.

Balnearea is a managed portion of a long stretch of beach about 10 minutes by car north of Otranto. By managed I mean that the whole area is filled with loungers and umbrellas (at the time of writing, $20-$35 for 2 loungers + 1 umbrella, depending the area of the beach, who you ask, and your negotiation skills). Also, bar service and private showers / change rooms are available at a cost. You are not obliged to rent any of these facilities and can lie on your own towel on the sand if you can find an available spot near the water. In July/August the beach is crowded like a can of sardines, which is exactly what some people love and others abhor. The water is wonderful; crystal clear and clean, with fine white sand at the bottom. This is one of the busiest beaches between Brindisi and Otranto, but it is lovely once you're in the water.

This lido is a zoo! Reminds me of Coney Island. Parking is a nightmare, as police will ticket your car as there is very limited parking provided by Balnearea. Way too many beach lines, too loud to relax and packed liked a football stadium. Restaurant food is blah— nothing special.

Nice beach lot of Things to have a fun..10 euro for whole day.to park next to tyle beach or 5 Euro to park away And Take the Bus / go walk to get there

Nice spacious place, a bit more expensive than the rest but better organized beach. I suggest the palms if you can spend the extra money.

My place.

Feels like home

one of our favorites

PARADISOOO

Nothing interesting there..

Top

Interesting spot. There is a hike of 10-15 minutes from where you park the car to the tower below. A stunning view of the sea. Just see the easy pics I did :)

Nice walk to the lighthouse. It was quite windy and it was not open to go inside.

Long walk down, we went there to watch the sunrise, but unfortunately it was really cloudy. Great viewing point. Only negative point is that the mystery is kinda diluted by the military camp which you have to walk past. Also, no real parking places, you just have to park you car on the side of the road.

Stunning scenery with a nice hiking trail 🥾

This is the most " Easern" tip of the whole if Italy. As we visited it in May, there were hardly any other tourist in the area . So for us it was a nice stop in our trip down the Southern coast of Italy.

Amazing and magnificent landscape around the east point of Italy. Highly recommended when you travel with car.

At the easternmost point of Italy there is one of the five lighthouses protected by the European Union. It is the Lighthouse of Punta Palascia. It was designed in 1863 by the engineer Achille Rossi, when the Italian government drew up a program of lighthouses, which refused the ministerial model for lighthouses of the fourth order. It was abandoned in the 1970s, however, it has been reopening since 2008. They say that on New Year's a lot of people visit the area to see the first dawn of the year, because it appears there before the rest of the country. Nice view!

Beautiful!!! Worthy to visit this place. We drove around 2 hours from Monopoli and arrived. Nice weather but very very windy. We had a picnic. Very enjoying. Great pictures with the Faro. And also met nice Spanish/Italian visitors and had a nice conversation. The lighthouse is to bring light to people.

It's good to visit to be at the most easterly point of italy. Looks like a big refurbishment going on here.

Amazing place! Suggested to visit at sunrise timing. Wonderful colors and nature background!

the most advantageous part of Italy. a frequented place for taking photos of the lighthouse. Unfortunately, the parking lot is not marked. you can easily miss.

Ein sehr schöner Strand an der Adria . Das Meer ist durch den hier ständig wehenden Wind mit wunderbaren Wellen ein Highlight. So ist auch das Angebot der Wassersport Möglichkeiten sehr interessant. Speed Boat, Bananene und das schönste: Parasailing. Über dem Meer, sicher in den Gurten sitzend, von oben auf das glitzernde Meer und die traumhafte Umgebung zu schauen ist schon ein besonderes Erlebnis. (Translated by Google) A very beautiful beach on the Adriatic. The sea is a highlight due to the constantly blowing wind with wonderful waves. The range of water sports options is also very interesting. Speed ​​boat, bananas and the best: parasailing. Above the sea, sitting safely in your seatbelts, looking at the glittering sea and the beautiful surroundings from above is a special experience.

Great beach with amazing waters. Restaurant, showers (0.5€ and can't use soap or shampoo). Parking just nearby.

They canceled a reservation we made a day in advance for sunbeds and umbrella, when asking them we have been given no answer; the staff is extremely unfriendly and rude, especially the lady who manages the place is horrible. Really not recommended for tourists!

Ambiente des Selbstbedienungsrestaurants ist gleich Null. Die Auswahl ist recht gross und die angebotenen Esswaren sind frisch. Das Personal wirkt gelangweilt und/oder gleichgültig. Die Preise für das Essen sind für ein Strandrestaurant viel zu hoch. Coronamaskenregeln werden nur sehr bedingt eingehalten.... (Translated by Google) The ambience of the self-service restaurant is zero. The selection is quite large and the food offered is fresh. The staff seems bored and/or indifferent. The prices for the food are way too high for a beach restaurant. Corona mask rules are only adhered to to a very limited extent....

Lovely beach, clean clear water, family, sport beach, with aqua activities nearby, staff so so, parking available but poorly sign posted - explained, ice creams melting in fridge , never eaten one so fast and never pay for warm ice creams again!, Otherwise run of mill lido with family atmosphere, took ages to find umbrella kid.

Genial sauber freundlich Personal. Nicht überfüllt. Gutes essen. Saubere WC und Dusche. Parkplatz ist mit einen Shuttle verbunden. Wieder gerne 😎 (Translated by Google) Brilliantly clean friendly staff. Not crowded. Enjoy your meal. Clean toilet and shower. Parking is connected to a shuttle. Gladly again 😎

Very nice, well organized and not expensive, with kind personnel.

BEAUTIFUL, BEST SPAGHETTI FRUTTI DI MARE, BUT CROWDED

Nice beach with pine forest nearby. The water is clean. Not too crowded

Nice beach with a very good restaurant/bar

Great beach in beautiful location!!!

Nice beach limited facilities

(Translated by Google) In a period in which everything is increasing, where speculation is wanted to pass off as dear life, the managers of this establishment have well understood that if you treat your customers well, whether they are local or occasional, they notice it and leave crying and can't wait to go back. ACQUA CHIARA, with an always wonderfully crystalline sea, combines a truly remarkable catering service, from the simple rotisserie to the more laborious first and second courses, in no way inferior to good restaurants. Unfortunately I didn't try fried fish or spaghetti with mussels which were really inviting to look at, but I was largely satisfied with focaccia and fried calzones which, in addition to being excellent, are also very honest in cost: 2 slices of focaccia with mozzarella (large cut), a fried calzone and a blue ribbon €10.. NEVER CHANGE YOUR POLICY, THE TOURIST WILL NOTICE THESE DETAILS! To next year!! (Original) In un periodo in cui tutto aumenta, dove la speculazione la si vuol far passare per caro vita, i gestori di questo stabilimento hanno ben compreso che se tratti bene i tuoi clienti, che siano locali o che siano occasionali, se ne accorgono e vanno via piangendo e non vedono l’ora di ritornarci. ACQUA CHIARA, ad un mare sempre meravigliosamente cristallino, abbina un servizio di ristorazione davvero notevole, dalla semplice rosticceria ai primi e secondi più laboriosi, da non invidiare nulla ai buoni ristoranti. Non ho assaggiato purtroppo frittura di pesce o spaghetti con le cozze che a vedersi erano davvero invitanti, ma mi hanno ampiamente soddisfatto focaccia e calzoni fritti che oltre ad essere ottimi sono anche onestissimi come costi: 2 tranci di focaccia con mozzarella (taglio abbondante), un calzone fritto e una nastro azzurro 10€.. NON CAMBIATE MAI POLITICA, IL TURISTA SE NE ACCORGE DI QUESTI PARTICOLARI! Al prossimo anno!!

We were a bit concerned after seeing a few not-so-great reviews so wanted to share our experience, which was actually very enjoyable. We encountered friendly service and appreciated the clean, sandy beach and calm waters. In terms of facilities, the toilets are clean but it would have been even better if there were free showers for lido clients. We found that even on windier days the location of Tropea was shielded from the wind more than other areas on the beach. Also we loved the large sunchairs on the front row and recommend to try book those!

Typicall cuisine for puglia. Very good! To recommend

Excellent food an friendly service at the sea..

Nice beach

Top

(Translated by Google) Stunning beach with terrace overlooking the sea, the staff is very friendly and the environment is relaxing. Very clean and equipped with everything. There were 6 of us and we spent one of the most relaxing days of our holiday despite the large number of people on the beach. The sea in front of the beach is crystal clear. Prices are normal. Recommended for all those who want to spend a day on the Alimini beach. (Original) Lido stupendo con terrazza sul mare, il personale è molto cordiale e l'ambiente rilassante. Molto pulito e fornito di tutto. Eravamo in 6 va e abbiamo passato una delle giornate più rilassanti della nostra vacanza nonostante il numero elevato di persone in spiaggia. Il mare davanti al lido è cristallino. I prezzi sono nella norma. Consigliato a tutti quelli che vogliono passare una giornata nelle spiaggia di Alimini.

(Translated by Google) Excellent management of both the beach and all the lido activities. We appreciated the courtesy and attention given to the customer. Worthy of note is the cuisine with quick proposals prepared with the freshest raw materials. (Original) Ottima gestione sia della spiaggia che di tutte le attività del lido. Abbiamo apprezzato la cortesia e l’attenzione data al cliente. Nota degna di merito, la cucina con proposte veloci e preparate con materie prime freschissime.
