Stay in hotels near the historic center to easily walk to Baroque landmarks and experience the quiet charm of the old town, avoiding the need for constant transport.
The town is compact and walkable. For exploring the wider Salento countryside, renting a car from nearby Lecce hubs is recommended, as public transport options within Maglie itself are limited.
Spring and autumn offer mild weather perfect for walking tours. Summer brings vibrant festivals but intense heat, while winter provides a peaceful atmosphere for cultural enthusiasts seeking solitude.
This 19C palazzo renovated in modern style serves fish and seafood, including raw dishes, with fish displayed in a cabinet in the dining room. Among the desserts, the vanilla ice-cream is a classic favourite!
