Getting here and Ryanair cheap flights:
If you come from abroad the best and cheapest way to get in Salento is by flying to 'Brindisi (BDS)' airport. Ryanair fl yes from London Stansted with very low fees every. If you book in advance your flight and you are lucky sometimes you can even get the ticket for less than £20 (taxes included).
During summer period there are other flights that depart from different countries.
For Italian internal flights please check MyAir company. Once you approach the airport you can catch a bus from Brindisi to Gallipoli or alternatively get to Brindisi train station and take the train to Lecce. Once you are in Lecce train station you can take a train or a bus to Gallipoli. From Gallipoli, train station you can catch a 'summmer bus' coach to get in Mancaversa or just call a taxi. The bus service only operate during summer period. To take the most of your holiday I would personally recommend to hire a car from Brindisi or Lecce. Please, contact me if you need more help.
