Italy will always be the best place to travel – from getting lost in the diversification of the northern and southern parts to tasting delicious cuisines to exploring through architectural innovation. Whether north or south is the best is always up for debate. But Puglia, standing on the heel of Italy’s boot, brings an entirely different holiday destination that takes the southern part to a whole new height. To elaborate, if you want to feel worlds away from the prime cities such as Rome, Venice, Milan, then Puglia is undoubtedly the best region to explore.
Once you venture out from one of the private traditional farmhouses, Puglia has countless things to explore. Roaming around the cities by bike or jumping into the boat to experience the dazzling beaches, all tours to Puglia are worth enjoying through the days, weeks and months. However, it is best to pre-arrange by booking one of the best tours to Puglia with a guide if you are a first-timer.
Get on the bike and embrace the heavenly beauty
Bike tours in Puglia are one of the most popular and affordable ways to see the best of the region. The rental period varies from a day to a whole week which your guide can book on your behalf. The knowledgeable guide team will plan the best route through the cycle, which will tick all of the best sights, sometimes even more than on your wish list. Alternatively, you can pick a two- or three-hours guided team tour and ride through the possible town coast and countryside route, Bari and around Lecce.
Alberobello, an irresistible reason to visit Puglia
If you are attracted to detailed architecture, then Alberobello is your place. Although it is a bit touristy, you will find the splendid Trulli houses dotted about the countryside. These houses were traditionally designed as drywall buildings and were constructed with limestones, while the roof is made of corbelled slab stone. At the same time, the joint column is decorated with a lotus flower which makes the city completely worthy of the UNESCO world heritage site listing.
Bari to Lecce, get the best experience of wine tour
Puglia wine is another prime reason to travel through Italy. After all, in 2019, Puglia had become the second-best wine-producing region of the country. So, while landing in the Bari airport or travelling through the Mediterranean route of Lecce, tell the guide to find restaurants where you could sip some right away. Then, of course, you can always tag along a winery tour of Puglia to drink a glass right in a historic vineyard and listen to the wine myths.
From the Paleolithic and Neolithic to the bronze and iron age, from the ancient Greek colonies to medieval troglodytes, the history of Puglia unsurpassed the other regions of Italy. With a changeable geographical scenario and historical differences, a tour to Puglia will never disappoint you to provide an authentic experience.
