Its treasures, its flavors

Discovering one of Italy’s most fascinating regions. A land of sea, boundless plains and ancient villages rich in history and tradition, Puglia is a land of unique and unparalleled flavor that gives unforgettable memories.

The first stop on the trip is Bari, the city of a thousand faces, where you can stroll through the historic center, visit the Basilica of San Nicola and the Cathedral of San Sabino. In addition, handmade orecchiette, typical Altamura bread and taralli are worth sampling. We will see Castel del Monte, the symbol of the Italian Renaissance, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One can admire the eight towers and the perfect symmetry of the building. The castle, owned by Frederick II of Swabia, is a place of great charm and mystery. And then Alberobello, the town of trulli, the white cone-shaped houses that are the symbol of Apulia. One can walk through the alleys, visit the Church of St. Anthony and discover the secrets of these ancient dwellings.

We will also see Lecce, the Baroque city par excellence, where art is expressed through churches, palaces and monuments. You can see the Basilica of Santa Croce, Piazza del Duomo and the famous Roman Amphitheater. Don’t miss an evening stroll through the historic center, illuminated by soft lights and featuring a romantic atmosphere.

Next, you will reach Otranto, an ancient village overlooking the crystal clear sea. Highlights include the Cathedral with the largest floor mosaic in Europe, and Gallipoli, the “pearl of Salento,” where the sea merges with the old town.

Going on a traveling trip to Puglia means immersing yourself in a land rich in history, culture, breathtaking scenery and culinary delights. A journey to discover the beauty of many places such as Bari, Lecce, Otranto, Gallipoli, Castel del Monte, Alberobello and many others offers an unforgettable experience for all the senses.
