Otranto is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Salento, but even in the crowded summer months, you can always find a parking spot! However, Otranto is a compact town, and even starting from the outskirts, you can walk to the center in 5 to 10 minutes. Several parking lots are practically in the center, saving you time, patience, and swearing.
It's advisable to park before entering the city center and continue on foot.

Most parking lots are paid (blue lines), but you can find large and convenient parking lots with a very affordable flat rate.
To avoid fines, it's a good idea to purchase time-based parking tickets.
