Experience recommended by SalentoBike

Jewish Lecce and Cerrate Abbey in one morning

A guided walk through medieval Lecce, then a minivan out to the abbey. Entry and transfer included.

What you do

Two stops, one thread: the Middle Ages. At 10am a local guide walks you through Lecce's old Jewish quarter and then down into the underground rooms of the ancient synagogue, a layer of the city you would never guess from street level.

At 11:15 a minivan takes you out of town. At 12:15 you reach the Abbey of Santa Maria di Cerrate for a second guided visit, this time about Byzantine art and medieval Salento. At 1:30pm the minivan heads back to Lecce.

Transfers, entry tickets and both guided visits are included. The guides are local, not SalentoBike staff. It's an experience recommended by SalentoBike: I book it for you and add it to your quote.

By bike

The morning is fully taken care of, so the bike comes in after lunch. Back in Lecce, pick it up at Via Ribezzo 2D, where pick-up and drop-off are free, and head out on a self-guided route I prepare for you, with GPX and roadbook.

Renting for several days? Leave the bike at your accommodation that morning, locked with the lock that comes with it. And if you'd rather keep this a day off the saddle, that works too.
