Workation in Otranto: the essentials
Italy's easternmost town looks across the strait to Albania from behind its walls and Aragonese castle. Ottoman troops sacked Otranto in 1480, and its cathedral, consecrated in 1088, has a 12th-century mosaic covering the whole floor of the nave. About 5,500 people live here, and life follows the season: packed from June to September, sleepy from November to March, when many places close. The beaches at Baia dei Turchi and the Alimini lakes lie to the north, while the coast south towards Santa Maria di Leuca turns rocky. Lecce is about 45 minutes by car, and Brindisi Airport is about 75 km away.
