"Our favorite beach bar. Sparkling clear water, yummy frissee, cool groups of Italian nonnas to keep it interesting. And an awesome sink/hand dryer contraption in the bathroom too!"

"Total local vibes and you can pick your crust (gluten free etc). Such a find."

"Lovely hotel right on the water. The pool is tiny, though. Eat as many figs as possible at breakfast!"

"Have your hotel call in advance to ensure you can sit on the top patio (not the bottom one, or inside). Views of at least 8 trulli from our perch."

"Stellar people-watching from the patio late night. The gold door leads to an apartment owned by a very old local man--total character. Couldn't understand a word!"

"Great find but busy. Sit inside for faster service if you don't want to lollygag. The shop stocks stylish finds at too-expensive prices"
