Perfect mix of art, history, and nature, Apulia is a region that can satisfy any taste and interest. Its lovely, warm Mediterranean weather and the variety of landscape make Apulia one of the best cycling and walking destinations in Europe. You will be surprised by the innumerable treasures that this land boasts: the Trulli houses in Alberobello, the rupestrian churches, medieval castles and Romanesque cathedrals in the land of Bari, the breathtaking panoramas of the Itria valley, and the Baroque architecture and stunning coastline of Salento. Not to mention the charming beauty of the Sassi of Matera in Basilicata.
5 reason to visit Puglia:
- The geological conformation of the territory: flat enough to make Apulia very appealing for amateurs, and fairly hilly to make it pleasant for cycling and walking experts.
- The variety of landscapes: as you travel into the deep south of Puglia you will be amazed by the way the landscape changes, by how first the gentle solpes of Murgia Plateau and then the rolling hills of the Itria Valley gradually make their way to the incredible flat territory of Salento.
- Stunning coastline: Apulia has 800 km of coastline and some of the best beaches in Italy. Lying between the Adriatic and the Ionian Sea, it's a treasure trove of golden sand beaches, intimate rocky coves and crystal clear waters. Even towns like Otranto and Gallipolli have pretty beaches in the centre with inviting turquoise water.
- UNESCO World Heritage sites: Ancient history, and traces of diffrent cultures and civilizations can be found throughout Apulia. Over the centuries, they have left us with a rich and inestimable heritage. This region boasts, in fact, some of the most important Unesco World Heritage sites in Italy: the Trulli of Alberobello, Castel del Monte and the beautiful Sassi of Matera in the nearby Basilicata.
- Wine and Gastronomy: Its food and wine are an explosion of extraordinary flavors. The secret is in the ingredients, all genuine and locally grown, which give life to excellent extra virgin olive oil and exquisite wines.
