Marittima:
Marittima is a pleasant little town of Salento not far from a number of very well-known locations such as
Otranto with its famous castle and cathedral, its beautiful beaches and the the two lakes Alimini 25' minutes by car; Santa Maria di Leuca, the 'finis terrae' of Apulia, with its well organized tourist port, 30' by car; Gallipoli built on a island linked to the beautiful port on the Ionian sea, with its history; Lecce with its beautiful baroque buildings. There are still a few villages where Greek is spoken, such as Kalimera, which have maintained their specific cultural links with their motherland. Throughout the year, particularly during the summer, there are festivals and traditional feasts in every town in Salento where you can enjoy the typical music, dancing and cuisine of this part of Italy where the Greek, Balkan, Oriental and Latin cultures met and melt.

In the main street of Marittima there is a pharmacy, an well-organized internet point that offers SKYPE telephone connection, a newspaper stand, a dry cleaning, bars and other shops.
