Torre Lapillo
⭐ 9.4
An iconic beach on the Ionian Salento coast, with clear sand and shallow turquoise sea, perfect for families.
Torre Lapillo is a hamlet of Porto Cesareo; until 1975 it belonged to Nardò. Its watchtower, also called the Torre di San Tommaso, is one of the largest in the area: a square base of about 16 m per side, nearly 17 m high, completed in 1568 as part of the tower network begun by Charles V against Ottoman raids. Its staircase rests on three arches, because it once led to a drawbridge. As for wind, the beach is sheltered from the tramontana and open to the sirocco.
