Spectacular coastlines, rolling hills of green, olive groves that stretch as far as the eye can see, charming towns, unique architecture, comforting food proudly made from local ingredients, sparkling wine fresh from the barrel, warm hospitality and prices far more reasonable than the north – Apulia is Italy’s best-kept secret (no longer)! Here’s our list of
Top Ten Things To Do in Apulia!
Bath in the blue waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Wander the streets of ancient towns: our favourites are Ostuni, Alberobello, Monopoli and Polignano a Mare.
Lather crusty slices of toasted sourdough with extra virgin olive oil pressed from 1000-year-old olive trees.
Stay in a trulli house.
Drink sparkling wine fresh from the barrel.
Live the Italian dream with life in a villa for the summer.
Eat antipasto – it’s way more than just the cold cuts and cheeses that are often pushed in tourist destinations. Here, it’s a whole buffet meal delivered to your table.
Drink Primitivo – the local wine. Big, powerful and fruity.
Try a coffee especiale in the town of Polignano a Mare.
Get a taste of farm life by staying in a masseria.
Have you been to Italy’s south? What are your favourite things to do in Apulia?
They have bougainvillea in their Mediterranean climate too? For one thing, here, I notice that it will bloom in all its glory on dry days.
What a spectacular view that you’ve captured in that first photo!! The colors, light and textures are incredible!
Wow, dining amidst the sounds of waves splashing against the rocks beneath must be truly incredible 🙂
A beautiful holiday and I like all the suggested things to do there.
It’s certainly a gorgeous place!
That is such a lovely place
especially the blue waters.
Love your pics.
