Beach overall scores
Spiaggia Baia dei Turchi (Lecce) is located outside the Villaggio Altair settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Spiaggia Baia dei Turchi with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"The beachfront is breezy, yet it holds a pleasant charm. The secluded section, furnished with beach umbrellas, is rather steeply priced. Hence, we opted for the open beach. A leisurely walk of approximately 15 minutes from the initial parking spot leads you to the sandy shores, which is a cakewalk."
Aldo Averroes
"This beach may seem impressive at first glance, but don't be fooled by its facade. The management is cunning and will try to swindle you into paying for their overpriced shuttle service by claiming there is no parking available. The truth is, if you visit during the off-season, you can park for free in the nearby pine forest and avoid their deceitful tactics."
