Castro rests on the rocky shore of the Adriatic, on the stunning Salento coast. Located south of Lecce, it's referred to as the "pearl of the Salento". In an area studded by lovely coastal towns, Castro really is a gem. It retains its Old World atmosphere, but in the upper medieval town on the hill, and the marina below that still holds its tradition as a fishing village. Castro occupies a promontory that plunges to the sea and is backed by hills. The setting with turquoise skies, green hills, white washed buildings and sapphire water is captivating.
