Stretch out on Spiaggia della Purita

Spiaggia della Purita’s not your everyday beach. Instead of palm trees and dunes, this soft swathe of sand’s backed by fortifications from the 13th century. You’ll find it perched on the edge of the old town, and it’s long been the go-to beach for locals. After you’ve spent a few hours sunbathing, you can head to one of the panoramic restaurants on the ramparts above. From here, the views of the Ionian Sea are like something from a postcard.
