Torre dell'Orso is one of the most family-loved bays of the Adriatic Salento: golden sand, shallow water and the famous Due Sorelle sea stacks. Reaching it from Brindisi airport by public transport means changing in Lecce and Melendugno, losing over 2 hours. A private NCC brings you right under the cliff in an hour.

How long is the transfer from Brindisi to Torre dell'Orso?

The NCC transfer from Brindisi Airport to Torre dell'Orso takes on average 60 minutes for 76 kilometres. The fastest route follows SS 16 to Lecce, then the SP 1 "Adriatica" coast road towards San Foca and Roca Vecchia. In July and August, the coastal SP can slow down by 15 minutes due to beach traffic to the Melendugno marinas.

The driver tracks your flight: if it lands late, the wait is included. Travelling with small children? We can pre-install an approved child seat on request.

Why a private NCC beats the bus or taxi

There is no direct bus from the airport to Torre dell'Orso: you take the bus to Lecce, then a second bus to Melendugno, then a local shuttle. Total: 2h30 with changes and waits. An airport-counter taxi costs more than a pre-booked NCC and is rarely available after 11 PM. A private chauffeur service in Salento gives you a fixed fare and door-to-door arrival.

The driver knows the inner roads of the Melendugno marinas (Torre Sant'Andrea, Roca Vecchia) and can take you to your B&B without using the jammed coastal SP.

Five minutes by NCC takes you to Torre Sant'Andrea with its wind-and-sea-eroded rocks, and to Roca Vecchia with the magical Grotta della Poesia, a natural rock pool. Fifteen minutes away, San Foca and Otranto offer seafood restaurants and evening nightlife.
