Presicce is 56 km from Lecce, and 115 km from Salento Airport (Brindisi). There are various hypotheses about the origin of the town of Presicce. According to the most accredited, the name derives from the abundant presence of shallow aquifers that, in the past, led many inhabitants of the neighboring houses to look for water in these places, where they then settled. According to another theory, the birth of the village of Presicce goes back to the high Middle Ages, around the VII-VIII century.

The historic center of Presicce is characterized by an agglomeration of alleys, squares and charming courtyard houses. At one time, the economy of Presicce was predominantly agricultural. In fact, this is demonstrated by the numerous underground oil mills. The oldest are still identifiable on the Serra di Pozzo mauro, dug into the limestone rock, probably by agricultural pastoral communities with the help and experience of Basilian monks, in an attempt to reorganize the surviving populations that survived the 9th and 10th century Saracen invasions.

A few kilometers from Presicce, about 10, is the seaside resort of Lido Marini, which falls in the territory of Ugento,  which is only 8 km far away. Lido Marini overlooks the Ionian Sea, locatedTorre Mozza (Ugento marina) and the famous beaches of Pescoluse and Torre Pali. In addition, it is located just 33 kilometers from Gallipoli and 18 from Santa Maria di Leuca.
