Things To Do
The Coast
The coastline is stunning—full of rocky cliffs, turquoise coves, and charming fishing towns. Visit Polignano a Mare, perched above the sea, or Monopoli, with its colorful harbor and lively old town. For something a little different, Taranto sits between two seas and offers both a rich maritime history and beautiful views.
Historic Towns
Ostuni, the “White City,” glows on its hilltop, while Leccestuns with its Baroque architecture and southern charm. Martina Franca and Locorotondo are perfect for a slow afternoon stroll, and if you’re into ceramics, Grottaglie is full of artisan workshops and quiet, winding streets.
Trulli
These whitewashed, cone-roofed houses are unique to this region. Alberobello is the most famous place to see them, and it's well worth a visit.
Eat & Drink Well
Try local specialties like orecchiette, burrata, and just-caught seafood. The wines—especially Primitivo and Negroamaro—are delicious.
