Italy

Our PUGLIA, ITALY adventure was incredible! We spend 10 days in the region and visited many of the must-do old towns, cities and historical sites that will make you want to visit.

We started in the world-famous town of Polignano a Mare! Stunning scenery, traditional stone old town, and food heaven awaits you here in this rugged clifftop seaside wonder! We take an afternoon day trip on the train to Monopoli with its wonderful promenade before heading to the world heritage site of Alberobello and the amazing tiny stone houses called Trulli. We even get to experience 2 nights in one!

One of the oldest cities in the world, Matera was next. Quite a surprise to us as we knew nothing about it before going. It has a real biblical feel just like Jerusalem. Otranto and Ostuni next both with incredible charm and history as you walk around the narrow alleyway streets and climb around the walls and fortifications. Gallipoli next, famous for its wonderful seafood and picturesque beach, we fell in love with the relaxing pace and friendly atmosphere. Finally, we venture into the capital of the region Lecce. Wow, this was so beautiful, if you love baroque architecture then this will be somewhere you must visit.

We hope you love all our Puglia travel guides.

Lecce is the provincial capital of Puglia in the southern region of Salento. There are loads of things to do in Lecce, it's full of baroque and roman architecture and an excellent walking city. Often referred to as the Florence of the south, Lecce epitomises everything so beautiful about this region. The old town at night has a party vibe. The whole of Lecce seems to descend on the old town. Walking around the alleyway streets in the golden yellow lighting with stunning buildings and historical sights at every turn make it a joy to explore. We stayed for two days.
