Bay of Turks where is it located?

The Baia dei Turchi is located just over 5 km north of Otranto, exactly in the stretch of coastline on the Adriatic between the inland lakes of Alimini Grande and Alimini Piccolo, only about 3 km apart. This pristine sandy bay belongs to the prized protected oasis of Alimini Lakes, one of the most important ecosystems of Salento in Puglia.

It is also surrounded nearby by several other beaches and locations among the most beautiful and touristic in Puglia, such as the Faraglioni di Sant'Andrea, the Grotta della Poesia, Torre dell'Orso, Porto Badisco and Castro.

The Baia dei Turchi can be easily reached using either public transportation or the use of one's own private vehicle (motorcycle, car, camper).
