• Nord Salento Tour - Experience the serene beauty of ancient olive trees and the Murgia countryside as the backdrop for this remarkable journey. Engage in the Tarantella and Pizzica-Pizzica, traditional dances that are more than just rhythmic movements. The unique double step, the tambourine’s beat, and the circles around an imaginary altar build to a euphoric crescendo, believed to cure the madness caused by the bite of the local black widow, the Tarantula. Dance was the sole remedy.
