1Puglia
Puglia is one of Italy’s most distinctive regions, famous for whitewashed towns, ancient olive trees, dramatic coastlines and traditional trulli houses.
Alberobello is the region’s most famous attraction, with hundreds of unusual cone-roofed stone buildings. But Puglia becomes even more rewarding when you venture beyond it.
Ostuni, often called the White City, rises above the surrounding countryside, while Polignano a Mare is dramatically positioned above the Adriatic Sea. Lecce offers spectacular Baroque architecture and a completely different atmosphere.
Puglia is also an excellent destination for food lovers, with local specialties centered around fresh ingredients, handmade pasta and the region’s excellent olive oil.
