5 Must-See Destinations in Apulia

Puglia, an enchanting region in the heart of southern Italy, captivates visitors with its breathtaking landscape, rich history and delicious cuisine. The "heel of the boot," Puglia offers a wide range of attractions, from charming coastal towns to countryside dotted with olive groves.

Planning a tour of Puglia? Here are five must-see destinations to include in your itinerary!

Lecce

Lecce, the main urban center of Salento, is one of the cities you must visit at all costs. Referred to as "The Florence of the South," it offers tourists plenty of choice, including churches, museums and ancient palaces. A symbol of Lecce Baroque, here it is possible to immerse oneself in an atmosphere of yesteryear, among the Cathedral, the Bishop's Palace, the Church of San Giuseppe and many other places.

 

Alberobello

Located in the Valle d'Itria, Alberobello is characterized by the unmistakable trulli, conical dry-stone structures still inhabited today. Alberobello has been chosen many times as a film set since the 1930s, up to the present day as in the movie "Che Bella Giornata" by Checco Zalone. What makes this small town enchanting, is walking through the alleys, feeling enveloped by a familiar atmosphere and as you go deeper into the heart of this small town, as you go deeper into the heart of this small town.

 

Polignano a Mare

In recent years Polignano a Mare is becoming a must-see destination for tourists to our wonderful region. The Lama Monachile, the historic center, and the Abbey of San Vito are just some of the attractions that Polignano reserves for its visitors. Obviously in summer the crystal clear sea is one of the most popular destinations, but also in winter, especially during the Christmas period, Polignano, thanks to its beautiful light installations, reserves truly unforgettable views.

 

Ostuni

Known as the "White City" for its whitewashed buildings that glow in the sun, Ostuni is surrounded by very high and ancient defense walls, the majestic Aragonese walls. Strolling along the street that runs along the walls, you can enjoy an incredible view: in fact, the old town is surrounded by numerous olive trees and the immense "turquoise sea," which is just a few minutes away by car.

 

Monopoli

Its white alleys characterized by balconies, stairways and doorways framed by flowers and succulents are a sight for the eyes and the heart. The ancient town is also embellished by a real jewel of Baroque style: the Co-Cathedral Basilica of Maria Santissima della Madia. It is beautiful to get lost inside to admire its precious treasures: marbles, altars, columns and the remains of the raft of the "Madia," a culturally infinite church of art and notions.

 

From charming coastal towns to picturesque historic villages, Apulia offers a variety of unique experiences that will leave a lasting impression on visitors' hearts. Whether you are a history buff, a nature lover, or a gourmet in search of authentic flavors, Puglia will never disappoint.
