Puglia

Italy

Tucked away in the heel of Italy sits Puglia, where rugged coastlines, bountiful orchards and mediaeval towns play host to delicious food. From the whitewashed maze of trulli in Alberobello, an ancient settlement deserving of its UNESCO World Heritage status, to the Baroque architecture of Lecce that earned it the nickname, ‘the Florence of the South’, Puglia’s cultural heritage is a dream for history buffs.Aside from the wealth of flamboyant churches, historic piazzas and Baroque towns, Puglia’s charm lies in its cuisine, a byproduct of the fertile lands and abundant sunshine. Olive oil, tomatoes, artichokes, salami, mushrooms, olives and seafood are just some of the produce that make the region’s legendary cucina povera. Orchards and olive groves spill down towards sparkling seas and golden sands, offering a tantalising taste of la dolce vita. Those coastal towns include Polignano a Mare, where your laidback beach days can be intertwined with strolls around the mediaeval centre and lazy lunches in neighbourhood trattoria. The best time to visit Puglia is spring and early summer before both the temperature and the visitor numbers rise in July and August, while autumn is equally pleasant.
