Puglia

Puglia

A soulful experience of countryside and coast

Puglia is the heel of Italy’s boot, the region in the southeast corner of Italy where picturesque landscapes, unique white-painted towns, ancient history, and excellent local cuisine await. Although not well-known, Puglia offers some of the most classic Italy travel experiences, as well as the longest stretch of coastline of any Italian region. A vacation in Puglia is your chance to relax and soak up la dolce vita, southern-Italian-style.

So what kinds of destinations await you on a trip to Puglia? The iconic (and conic—as in cone-shaped) roofs of Alberobello and its white buildings, the Baroque buildings of Lecce, the unforgettable pebble beaches of Polignano a Mare, the ladies outside of their homes rolling orecchiette pasta in Bari Vecchia and so much more. During your vacation in Puglia, you’ll savor the region’s durum wheat loaves of bread, crispy dough rings called taralli, salty caciocavallo cheese, and a number of sinfully good pastries like pasticciotto, focaccias, and pastas.

Puglia Travel Inspiration

Stroll the Whitewashed Streets of Ostuni

Known as the “White City,” Ostuni feels like a sunlit maze of narrow lanes and gleaming limestone houses. Wander through arches and tiny piazzas lined with flower pots. Stop for a coffee overlooking the Adriatic, then explore nearby olive groves dotted with ancient stone farmhouses.

Marvel at Alberobello’s Iconic Trulli

Alberobello is famous for its fairytale-like trulli, cone-roofed stone houses that have stood here for centuries. Stroll through the UNESCO-listed district, peek inside little artisan shops, and learn how these unique dwellings were built. It’s an unforgettable window into Puglia’s rustic architectural charm.

Taste Olive Oil and Wine in the Valle d’Itria

The Valle d’Itria is the heart of Puglia’s culinary soul. Join a private tasting at a family-run olive oil mill surrounded by endless groves. Sip crisp local wines among vineyards that have thrived here since ancient times. This is where cucina povera’s authentic flavors come alive.

Relax on the Beaches of Polignano a Mare

Polignano a Mare’s clifftop old town overlooks clear turquoise waters and hidden pebble beaches. Spend a lazy afternoon swimming in sea caves or jumping off rocky ledges like the locals do. Later, grab a scoop of gelato and watch the sun set behind the whitewashed cliffs.

Explore Lecce’s Baroque Beauty

Lecce is often called the “Florence of the South” for its ornate baroque churches and grand piazzas. Wander sandstone streets filled with local artisans carving limestone by hand. Pause for an aperitivo in a sunny square, soaking up centuries of art, architecture, and laid-back Puglian life.
