It's hard not to fall in love with Puglia, the relatively undiscovered southern region forming the heel of Italy’s “boot,” known for its whitewashed hill towns, centuries-old farmland and hundreds of kilometers of Mediterranean coastline.
Trace 10,000 years of history within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Matera with its remarkable cave dwellings. Wander through the baroque walled city of Lecce, follow in the footsteps of weary Roman legions as you follow the ancient road to the Pugliese coast. Marvel at the ingenuity of Alberobello’s 15th-century trulli before soaking up the majestic beauty of picture-perfect Locorotondo. Amid its rich history, there’s also a wealth of modern Italy to discover from chic boutiques and boho beach clubs to authentic culinary experiences in some of Europe’s finest restaurants.
Capital Bari is a vibrant port and university town, while Lecce is known as “Florence of the South” for its baroque architecture. Locorotondo, Martina Franca and Alberobello in the Itria Valley are home to the “trulli,” stone buildings with distinctive conical roofs and are must sees in the hills, and on the coast, Gallipoli, Otranto should be high on your list.
