Experience recommended by SalentoBike
Visit to the Roca archaeological site, Melendugno
Two hours among the traces of Roca's past, in summer.
What you do
Between swims, Salento also has much older stories to tell. The Roca archaeological site, in Melendugno, is one of them.
The visit lasts two hours and runs in Italian. You have time to move around without rushing, look closely and get a sense of what was here long before us.
It runs from June to September. Bring water and a hat, because the summer sun is strong.
By bike
Roca is a stop that fits well into a bike day. I prepare a self-guided route with GPX and roadbook that includes it: you arrive, lock the bike with the lock that comes with it, do the visit and ride on.
You can pick up the bike for free in Lecce, San Foca or Calimera. If you want a lighter day, you can also do the visit without the bike.
