Highlights of Puglia
Welcome to Puglia, one of the southernmost regions of Italy and a region that lives up to the authentic Italian fantasy - and then some. Experience the beauty of the Mediterranean as well as ancient historical ruins in Polignano a Mare and Monopoli, or head to the natural hot springs of Torre Canne and the spectacular caves of Castellana Grotte.
Italy is home to more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country in the world, and the Puglia region is, naturally, home to a handful of the best. Visit the town of Alberobello and its trulli, a collection of traditional Apulian dwellings with cone-shaped roofs that were built using prehistoric methods that have stood the test of time. The Zoosafari Fasanolandia – an animal park that includes a drive-through safari – is another great location to visit during your time in Puglia. Whether you're in Puglia for the weather, the history, the culture or simply to indulge in some of the very best Italian food in the world, this region is your oyster.

Our tips
-
Italy's Gate to Greece
The best way to explore Brindisi is to get lost among the city's palaces, past the beautiful cathedral and in the narrow alleys. Take a stroll along the charming waterfront, have a drink at one of the cafes and enjoy the wonderful sights and sounds of the sea. Andiamo!
-
Whitewashed paradise
Discover the whitewashed stone huts that have become synonymous with Puglia for yourself! The houses are called 'Trulli' and you will find the finest and largest concentration of the ball-shaped houses in Alberobello - well worth a visit on any trip to Puglia.
-
Long live Olive Oil!
Puglia is Italy's largest producer and exporter of olive oil. Since 1889 the family at L'Acropoli di Puglia has grown and taken care of hundreds of olive trees and pressed the fruits for extra virgin olive oil. Take a tour and learn to recognise a quality oil, hear about production, and finish by tasting the golden drops of Italy!
