Otranto Marina

Otranto's marina sits on the Adriatic side of the Salento peninsula, making it one of the easternmost ports in Italy and a natural jumping-off point for crossing to Albania or Greece. The setting is hard to beat — you're steps from Otranto's medieval old town, a UNESCO-listed cathedral with a remarkable 12th-century mosaic floor, and the Aragonese castle that dominates the waterfront. The port is managed across several moorings and quays along the harbour, and the town itself is lively enough to keep you busy well beyond a quick stopover.
