Experiences in Puglia

Overview

Puglia is the sunny, whitewashed heal of the Italian boot, the home to an abundance of unique experiences and hidden gems, and the perfect region to visit for those tired of the crowds in the capital or on the ever-trendy Amalfi Coast.

In cities such as Lecce, the ‘Florence of the South’, you can find all the things that attract thousands of culture vultures and architecture enthusiasts inland to Tuscany, in extravagant churches, beautiful winding lanes and elegant piazzas.

Really though, it’s outside the confines of the urban areas that Puglia shines like the blindingly white cliffs that sweep along its rugged coastline. Ancient forests, winding cave networks, ancient olive groves and rolling hills form a patchwork of fertile land.

And with this rich, varied landscape comes an abundance of great wines, vats of incredible olives, and when you combine all this with the stunning fish and seafood that is caught in the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic, you’ll find that Puglia is also a culinary delight waiting to be discovered.

    Best Time to Visit Puglia

    General
    See more photos

    The summer months are when Puglia really comes alive. Its stunning golden beaches attract the Italian locals, and who knows the best places to visit in Italy other than the Italians themselves?

    Thanks to this influx of visitors, festivals and summer markets spring up all over the region and a buzzing summer atmosphere descends on the towns and cities.

    However, if you are visiting the area for its natural beauty, and you’re looking to get some hiking or cycling in, visit in the spring. The weather, though pleasant, is not scorching, and you’ll see the hills burst into colour thanks to meadows of wildflowers.

    • In many cases, less than 10% of the money spent on a holiday actually ends up in the pockets of the local community. Tourism leakage is a serious problem, and it means many people are not able to reap the benefits of the tourism happening in their own back yard. We work with small, local suppliers and ensure that they receive a fair amount for every holiday we sell.

    • The climate is changing, and the travel industry is a key frontier in this battle. On the one hand, pollution from travel, erosion from over-tourism, and waste from careless travelling can make the problem much worse. But on the other hand, travel affords unique opportunities to help people connect with the natural environment in a close-up, personal way, and support locals in protecting their local environment. We are committed to offering experiences that match our sustainability criteria.

    We educate and provide guidance to travellers, hosts and agents.

    • Travel can help build a better world, but it has to be done properly. We are not just finding experiences that are better for local communities and better for the planet. We are committed to helping everyone travel better. From the moment they book with us until the moment they arrive home, we actively help our travellers with resources and guidance. This helps them travel more mindfully, and ultimately, offers a deeper, more rewarding experience.

    Top tips for visiting Puglia

    Getting Around: Puglia is an expansive, beautiful region of Italy. We’d suggest discovering what is has to offer on bike. The roads are often quiet and it is the perfect way to soak up the landscape.

    Cuisine: Everyone knows that Italy makes the best pasta. In Puglia, you must try the Orecchiette served al dente, the speciality of the region.
