Corgliano d'Otranto

The Castle and the typical restaurants in Corigliano D'otranto. A piece of Greece in Salento: in this area of Puglia, you can hear yourself greeted in griko, the language mostly spoken by the elderly, a historical legacy of old dominations.

There are many legends about the origin and diffusion of the Grika culture, but today it is deeply felt by the inhabitants of the 12 municipalities that preserve its traditions; Corigliano is perhaps the most interesting among these. In summer it is easy to come across festivals and events related to the culture, take part and have fun with the sound of pizzica!
