The small scattered settlement of Frassanito is located only a few kilometers north of Otranto and near the Alimini Lakes.
Frassanito lies near the Alimini Lakes. Alimini Grande with its abundance of fish is connected with the sea by a narrow channel; Alimini Piccolo is fed by fresh water springs. Reed and maquis are home to numerous species of birds in this nature oasis.
Towards the sea, this nature oasis is followed by pine woods and a wide belt of dunes. The wide sandy beaches around Frassanito are a mecca for surfers. The crystal clear waters of the sea also attract beach vacationers.
Only a few kilometers south of Frassanito lies Otranto. Due to its strategic location, it had always been an important bridgehead towards the Orient. From the Greeks, Romans and Normans to the French and the Spanish, many civilized peoples have put their marks on this town.
The charm of the Old Town's winding alleyways is fascinating. Fortress Castello Argonese dating from the 15th century and cathedral Santa Maria Annunziata with the world's largest coherent floor mosaic are worth a closer look.
