If you're seeking a serene escape without sacrificing the stunning seaside and the convenience of a well-equipped lido, then the isthmus beach is the perfect destination. With a fitness area, relaxation options (including the soothing vibrations of Tibetan bells), and amenities for both children and four-legged friends, this beach has everything you need. And let's not forget the bar, which offers an impressive selection of 50 different types of coffee (Alex's cold espresso is a must-try) and vegan and gluten-free options. The sunbeds are spaced generously apart, and the prices are unbeatable (only 5€ per sunbed in Salento!). But the real gem of this beach is the restaurant, serving both traditional and unique dishes that are sure to delight your taste buds. I was pleasantly surprised to find such high-quality cuisine at a beachside restaurant. The staff and managers are incredibly friendly, accommodating, and attentive to every customer's needs, making you feel like a VIP. A big thank you to Azzurra, Emanuele, Marco, Antonella, Teresa, Simone, Elia, Alex, and Deborah for making my experience at the isthmus beach unforgettable. I highly recommend this beach to anyone seeking a memorable seaside getaway.
