È stata l’occasione per realizzare il sogno di nostro figlio di 6 anni di visitare un faro. Il percorso per arrivare è tranquillo ed immerso in un panorama strepitoso; noi siamo andati al tramonto perché eravamo diretti ad Otranto e la visita è stata ancora più magica visto che il ritorno verso l’auto lo abbiamo fatto sotto la luna e con le torce. I nostri figli hanno vissuto quindi anche una bellissima avventura. Si sale fino al terrazzo e poi fin sulla lampada esperienza bellissima.
