Tradition has it that the Baia dei Turchi, just north of Otranto, is where the Ottoman Turks disembarked during the Invasion of Otranto (1480-81). An immaculate sandy beach with crystal clear water surrounded by cliffs and hidden by dunes covered with Mediterranean Maquis and a thick pine forest, the Bay is part of the protected Oasis of the Alimini Lakes, one of the most important ecosystems of Salento and Apulia.
