Apulia - Torre Canne













Torre Canne is one of the most popular sea resorts of the Itria-valley. Not because of its architecture, the building stock is rather uninteresting. It's the long golden sandy beach and the clear turquoise coloured sea, that make the village a lively bathing resort in the summer months.
The locality is part of the municipality of Fasano and has only 400 inhabitants that mostly live on tourism, rent out holiday apartments or run beach shops.
Torre Canne is known beyond the boundaries of the region for its hot springs. When the bathing season comes to an end, the warm thermal waters attract holiday makers in the spa area. The concentration of minerals in the water is used to cure respiratory diseases and osteoporosis. But also if you only like to give yourself a treat, this is the right place for you: massages, mud baths, facial treatments, anti-cellulite-treatments, aroma therapy, are only few examples.
A bath in the sea by contrast is a free and appropriate pleasure for children, because the sandy beach slopes gently. Lidi, so called bathing beaches with showers, deck chairs and sun umbrellas, alternate with free beach sections. From the small fisher port locals offer boat trips. In the clear waters some are looking for squids, that en up on a barbeque or in a bread roll. Holiday makers can still their hunger also in the pizzerias and restaurants, ice cream parlours and at ambulant fruit vendors.
The further one gets away from the locality, the narrower the beach gets and the closer the protected dunes come to the water. Bathers are to be found here quite seldom. This is the place for kite-surfers and riders.
An advice for anyone who prefers the free beach: Take a sun umbrella or a beach shelter with you, there is hardly any shade.
