How long is the transfer from Lecce to Ugento?

The NCC transfer from Lecce Station to Ugento takes on average 49 minutes for 59 kilometres. The fastest route runs along SS 274 "Salentina Meridionale" to Taurisano, then SP 91 to Ugento. For Torre San Giovanni or Lido Marini, add 10 minutes along the coastal SP 90.

The driver tracks your train. If you are delayed, the wait is included. Name sign right at the platform exit of Lecce Centrale.

Why a private NCC beats public transport

The regional Lecce-Casarano train stops often; from Casarano, the local bus to Ugento runs only every 1-2 hours in peak season. With luggage and kids it becomes stressful. A private chauffeur service in Salento removes all the changes: 50 minutes direct, fixed fare, bilingual driver.

The driver knows the inner roads between Ugento, Torre San Giovanni and Lido Marini: in peak season the coastal SP 90 is often jammed and a countryside shortcut saves 20 minutes.
