  Lecce is often referred to as the "Florence of the South."  Take note however, that Lecce has a style and grace all her own and really, what really should be said is that there is no Lecce of the north.

• Morning: Ostuni Guided Tour
  
  The town's nickname is "La Citta Bianca" or the "White City," and many visitors upon visiting for the first time have to check their maps to see if they're still in Italy.  The architecture of the town is more Grecian than any other in Italy.
   

• Afternoon: Martina Franca
  
  The old town has the greatest tourist appeal, with its fabulous and completely intact baroque buildings. Martina Franca has a unique setting, dominating the Valle d’Itria, known as the Valley of the Trulli with its vineyards, small groups of houses, dry stone walls and open countryside.
