Discover southern Italy's enigmatic Puglia region

Travel to the little-known area of Puglia, southern Italy's dramatically beautiful region bordering the Adriatic and Ionian seas. Awash with Roman ruins, medieval towns, remarkable architecture and jagged coastlines that drop sharply into cerulean seas, Puglia will entice and captivate. Swoon in delight while indulging in rustic local cuisine, enjoy a wine or two from this prolific wine growing region and immerse yourself in this friendly and resplendent part of Italy.

  • Wander the charming streets of Polignano, a town that looms dramatically over the sea
  • Grab a slice in Naples, the birthplace of pizza
  • Visit Lecce's ornate Basilica Di Santa Croce
  • Restore your faith in Saint Nicholas at Bari's Basilica di San Nicolas
  • Explore sassi dwellings from the 8th-century BC in Matera
  • Gaze in wonder at the beehive-shaped trullis of Alberobello

Discover Puglia Summary

Add to Shortlist

Day 1 Bari

Puglia's prosperous seaside capital, the tangled streets of Bari's charming old town reveal Romanesque churches, a riotous market and elegant medieval piazzas.

Day 2 Matera

One of the oldest cities in existence, the extraordinary sight of Matera's sassi - stone houses formed from natural grottoes - give a haunting insight into ancient life.

Day 3 Alberobello

The quaint town of Alberobello is home to the beehive-shaped trulli: small, dry-stone houses built from local limestone which are unique to this area of Puglia.

Days 4-5 Lecce

Baroque ornamentation is elevated to dizzying heights in Leece. Roman ruins and magnificent allegories dancing across ornate facades present visitors with a feast for the senses.

Days 6-7 Polignano/Trani

Built on rocky cliffs which rise dramatically from the blue waters of the Adriatic, the small town of Polignano boasts a wealth of sights thanks to its ancient settlement and history of invasion. With a stunning seaside cathedral, medieval streets and its own, sweet wine, Trani is truly like stepping back into a 1950s movie set.

Days 8-9 Naples

With its heritage-listed historical centre and fascinating Archeological Museum, Naples's extraordinary history is obvious - plus it's home to some of the best pizza Italy has to offer.
