It is the spur of the boot of the Italian landmass, with an intricately chiseled coastline that often creates an island-style feel. The sense of history here is ubiquitous but never oppressive \u2013 vying for your attention is an almost staggering range of sites from prehistory to Magna Graecia, and from the Roman Imperial age to the Renaissance and the Italian Baroque after that. <strong>Puglia\u00a0is nearly 7,500 square miles in size and there are almost as many reasons to fall in love with the place, but we\u2019ll start with just six.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>1. Fascinating Cities<\/h3>\n<p><em>Bari<\/em> is the capital of Puglia\u00a0and the region\u2019s largest city. This port city boasts the longest uninterrupted seaside promenade in Italy, and its historic center, Bari vecchia, is a walled wonder that could easily be used as backdrop for a pirate movie.\u00a0<em>Lecce<\/em> has a restored Roman amphitheater and a central district redolent of Baroque splendor. It also has an amazing museum of archaeology with collections evocative of the region\u2019s ancient Greek heritage. In breezy <em>Brindisi<\/em> there\u2019s an ancient Roman column that marks the end of the Appian Way.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Delightful Small Towns<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26440\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/italy-677391_1280.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26440\" src=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/italy-677391_1280.jpg\" alt=\"puglia\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/italy-677391_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/italy-677391_1280-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/italy-677391_1280-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/italy-677391_1280-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26440\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gallipoli<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Polignano a Mare<\/em> is on the Apulian coast south of Bari. Its historic clifftop buildings seem to hover over the water. <em>Ostuni<\/em> is called La Citt\u00e0 Bianca, or the White Town, in Italian on account of the dense core of whitewashed buildings in its historic hilltop center. Galatina is inland, close to Lecce and a perfectly pleasant southern Italian town with a Romanesque cathedral that dates to 1390. The southeastern stretch of Puglia\u00a0is called <em>Salento<\/em>, a sub-peninsula where you\u2019ll find enchanting seaside towns like <em>Otranto<\/em>, <em>Gallipoli<\/em> and <em>Santa Maria di Leuca<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Fantastic Wines<\/h3>\n<p>If you don\u2019t think much of ros\u00e9 wine (<em>rosato<\/em> in Italian), a trip to Puglia\u00a0is going to change your opinion deliciously. Puglia&#8217;s most representative wines are reds and ros\u00e9s, but the region also produces some interesting white wines from local grapes. Distinctive tastes are achieved through time-honored methods of winemaking using Moscato of Trani, Verdeca, Malvasia of Salento, Primitivo, Salice Salentino and Negroamaro grapes. These grapes can be seen growing everywhere throughout the region.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Trulli<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26441\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26441\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/village-552082_1280-e1443525745853.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26441\" src=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/village-552082_1280-e1443525745853.jpg\" alt=\"puglia\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26441\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alberobello<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If the Smurfs were Italian, they might call the Puglian\u00a0village of Alberobello home. This is where you\u2019ll find an abundant inventory of <em>trulli<\/em>, the most distinctive architectural legacy of Puglia. Coming from the Greek word for cupola, a trullo (singular) is an old stone house with a conical roof built without mortar. Alberobello has so many trulli that it has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, but you\u2019ll also find them in the vicinity of Locorotondo in the Itria Valley.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Spectacular Coastline<\/h3>\n<p>The Salento coast may lack the sheer verticality of the better-known Amalfi Coast, but it is no less spectacular. And it is certainly less touristy, even in high season. There\u2019s a large assortment of marvelous beaches that will delight every traveler, from the sandy\u00a0<em>Torre dell\u2019Orso<\/em> and <em>Porto Cesario<\/em>, to blissfully blue <em>Marina di Ugento<\/em> south of Lecce to the rocky, boulder-encrusted\u00a0Riviera of\u00a0Otranto\u00a0and\u00a0Santa Maria di Leuca with its shimmering Grotta Grande. The latter is where the calm crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea mix with those of the intensely azure Adriatic.\u00a0 Gallipoli,\u00a0on the Ionian Sea, is said to have been founded by Idomeneus of Crete. In the norther part of Puglia, there\u2019s Gargano \u201cItaly&#8217;s Buttress,\u201d which protrudes out into a portion of the sea\u00a0where the tiny Tremiti islands are located.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Easy Access<\/h3>\n<p>Puglia\u00a0may feel suspended in time and somewhat remote and island-like, but for all that coastline it is an integral part of the Italian mainland. That means excellent highways and train connections \u2013 you can go from <a title=\"Must-See Italy: Bologna\" href=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/italy-travel-destinations\/must-see-italy-bologna\/\">Bologna<\/a> to Bari, to give just one example, in about five hours by rail.
