Cheap Car Rental Lecce: Best of FindYCar

Known as the baroque jewel of southern Italy, the city dazzles visitors with its ornate limestone buildings, which glow golden in the Puglian sun. It offers you everything: wander through elaborately decorated churches and discover artisan workshops in narrow streets.

The Adriatic and Ionian coasts sandwich the peninsula, letting you pick between turquoise waters and rocky coves or sandy beaches
