Facts About Puglia
The vibrant culture and rich history that Puglia provides when you visit is unlike any other. Based on the heel of the Italian ‘boot’, with the Adriatic Sea to the east and the Ionian Sea to the south, is an area that should not be missed!
Covering some 19,300km2, Puglia is Italy's 7th largest region (out of 20) and its splendid coastline, dotted with some of Italy's finest sandy beaches and azure seas, runs for around 800km, less only than Sicily and Sardinia.
From the incredible wine and delicacies to the spectacular landscape, the deep red, iron-rich earth below ancient olive or almond trees contrasts with the shimmering blue of the sea. Puglia has some of the most incredible views that Italy can provide!
Puglia has endless fields of vegetables such as artichokes, fava beans, carrots, and fennel, as well as the abundant rows of olive trees and vineyards. It was known as the ‘bread basket’ of Italy due to its large production of bread and pasta – produce that are extremely likely to show up on your menu – wherever you eat!
The main city in Puglia is Bari, with Taranto, Lecce, Brindisi, and Foggia close behind. The most commonly visited cities are probably Ostuni, Monopoli, Lecce, Andria, Alberobello, Gallipoli, and Polignano A Mare.
