A two bedroom self-catering house off a courtyard in Galatina's historical centre. Explore Galatina's cobbled streets and Baroque architecture, including the 14th century Santa Caterina and 16th century San Pietro cathedrals. Treat yourself at local bars, gelaterias and pasticcerias: the historical centre is all in easy walking distance. A short drive to either the Adriatic or the Ionian coasts, both of which boast miles of stunning scenery, sandy or rocky beaches, and azure water, offering your choice of safe swimming, diving, sailing or snorkelling. This region of Italy has some of the country's cheapest, simplest and tastiest food, featured, for instance, in 'Jamie's Great Escape' and by Rick Stein. Fresh seafood in abundance, locally grown vegetables, inexpensive local wines, and olives mean you can eat out or in, cheaply and healthily. Catch one of the local festivals, such as the traditional Pizzica music festival in Melpignano or the many traditional religious processions.
