Bríndisi
Across the peninsula, 60km east of Táranto on the opposite coast, lies BRÍNDISI, once a bridging point for crusading knights and still a town that makes its living from people passing through. Today it's primarily where you come if you're heading for Greece from Italy. It is pretty compact and, although it isn't brimming with ancient monuments, has a pleasant, almost oriental flavour about it, and a few hidden gems tucked down its narrow streets. If you decide to stay, you will find that Bríndisi's youth hostel is a fun place to base yourself for day-trips to the beach, Ostuni or the Torre Guaceto, a lovely nature reserve for biking and swimming.
