Discover Puglia! Welcome to the land of sunshine, beaches, good food and hospitality. People in this area are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Located in the Southeastern tip of the Mediterranean, Puglia is a treasure trove of art, history and nature. Besides discovering some of the most amazing beaches in Europe, Puglia has centuries of history and enchanting landscapes. Thus, this is a unique place for unforgettable experiences.

With over 800 km of coastline on both the Ionian and Adriatic Sea, you can marvel at the variety of its golden beaches. Inland, vast plains and rolling hills dotted with Farmsteads and dreamlike Trulli (ancient conical roof buildings) are surrounded by ancient olive trees and sumptuous vineyards.

From the ancient Greeks to the Romans, Byzantines, Normans, Swabians and Angevins, all have left their mark.

Puglia also has 3 UNESCO sites. First Castel del Monte, the mysterious fortress of Emperor Frederick II, near Andria. Second, the trulli of Alberobello, magical dry stone buildings. Finally, the Sanctuary of St. Michael the Archangel in Monte Sant’Angelo, a medieval masterpiece of art and international pilgrimage.

For all the foodies, look no further! Discover Puglia while relaxing with a glass of wine in hand. Its cuisine is famous all over the world (and even in Italy)!
