TREKKING / HIKING IN LINE ONLY FOR ASD DENTRATION MACHINES.
Walk south-east, it is among the classic treks in the south of Salento, the most south-eastern part of Italy, at the point where the Adriatic Sea joins the two coasts, the Italian and the Albanian in just about sixty km, taking the name of the channel d'Otranto.
The head southeast of Italy is called capo palascìa where there is precisely the lighthouse of Capo Palascìa. From this place, but also from most of the Adriatic coast, it is possible to admire the mountains of the neighboring Albania, the Acrocerauni mountains, which on days with clear skies give us their spectacular presence with the highest peak, the cika mount, 2000 meters high mt.
We will leave from the port of Otranto, heading straight onto the cliff, passing through the tower of the serpent (symbol of Otranto), a Roman tower with lighthouse functions, but also with sighting functions in later periods. Continuing the walk we will descend into the underlying bay of the temple until we take the path that will take us to the lighthouse of the Palascìa (the path is all on the cliff, even with untreated points). Arrived at the lighthouse of the palascia, there will be a lunch break of about 20/30 minutes, after which we will continue to the tower of Sant'Emiliano, during this part of the route we will visit not only the lookout tower, but also the two mufflers (phenomena of marine erosion), a more known and easy to reach, a little more hidden and difficult to reach. We will continue to reach the inlet of Porto Badisco, where some machines previously positioned, will act as shuttles to bring us back.
The path is completely on the dirt road, in many parts it is exposed to overhangs, it will face climbs and descents, the terrain is rocky, slippery and full of vegetation, scrub, stones, (a particular attention and familiarity is needed in walking on these grounds.
