Holidays in Puglia, Italy

The heel of Italy's boot is no afterthought to be trodden on: one of the most beautiful and unusual areas of Italy - if not all of Europe - Puglia is a land of dazzling whites: from its unique trulli and baroque towns to its platinum beaches. Home to some of the most beautiful cities in Italy, such as Lecce and Ostuni, as well as its own singular culture and a rugged coastline, interest in Puglia (or Apulia) has been growing rapidly in recent years. The undulating landscape of the region is perfect for walking and cycling, and its little resorts and long sandy bays offer many opportunities for water sports as well as just swimming and sunbathing - or you could just enjoy a nice glass of primitivo.
