All Months
April through June gives you perfect weather without the crowds. Temperatures sit in the comfortable 20s, and everything's blooming. September and October work beautifully too – still warm enough for evening strolls, but summer's intensity has faded. July and August? Brutal heat and packed with Italian tourists escaping north. Winter brings rain and many restaurants close, though December's Christmas markets have their charm. Here's what nobody tells you: Lecce shines during Easter week. The processions through those Baroque streets create something genuinely moving. Book ahead though – the whole region celebrates hard.
