Italy

Discovering Puglia

5/1/2019

Italy is an amazing place with amazing landscapes food and please. Being quite lucky with living in Belgium from where I have loads of flights all over Italy I am visiting a different spot in Italy every year and I always come back happy from my trip. And so this year was finally time to visit Puglia, this super amazing end of the heel of our lovely boot looking country. But to cut a long story short, let's see what I got to do, eat and see ;)

Getting There  & Moving around

You have 2 main airports which are Bari and Brindisi to which you have flights from some airports across Europe. An other alternative would be flying to Naples/Rome and catching a train but this might be quite long. 
Once in Italy, best and most flexible option is to rent a car. The smaller the better, but we had a Fiat L and had no issues. Ensure to adjust to the Italian driving style if you want to enjoy the ride. 
There is public transport to move around, but it will more difficult to reach more remote places. 

In short where we've been 

I'll break down the trip in several ways to make sure everyone finds their info collection style. 
Below you'll find a short overview of the stops we've done, here will be separate posts more in details of the different locations, another post on food and in the itinerary you can of course find a view on our exact route. So taking it step bu step. 

Polignano a Mare 

This is a must stop, although you should not really expect the chance to find a spot on the tiny beach on a sunny day. But the place is GORGEOUS

Lecce

if you fancy architecture then you'll love it. Lecce is a a wonderful city filled with Baroque architecture. they call it Florence of the South, but to be fair I clearly like it more than Florence.

Locorotondo 

They call it one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, well...I have not seen all of them but i for sure can say it is PRETTY!!!!

Alberlobello 

I mean this is a fairy tale village where everything happens in a Trulli type of house. Expect loads of tourists but I do consider it worth it to top by.

Bari 

i won't have a post about Bari as i did not really get to see it properly. From what I did see, i would not lose a lot of time here....but I do leave you with a beautiful sunset

This all has been done in 6 days, we landed in Bari on Thursday AM and left back to Belgium next Wednesday AM, just to give you an idea of the travel time needed. It was a total of just under 1000 km.
