Periodically go from Belgium to Salento (Italy) to visit family.
Sun, wind and sea (lu sule, lu mare, lu ientu) look and feel so good in the summer.
The food even more.

Salento

I just had a look, that place looks amazing! Do you recommend for a week-trip, or is it too small?

There are the town of Lecce and a few beaches that are worth discovering.
In the summer there will definitely be things to do for a week, as there are many local festivals where one can enjoy local food (many festivals (sagre) are centered around a specific kind of food, like one for octopus, one for horse meat, ...) and listen and dance to traditional music (pizzica)
