Practical Information

Location

Situated at the very tip of Italy’s heel, Puglia is a sun-soaked region of southern Italy known for its whitewashed towns, baroque architecture, crystal-clear waters, and a coastline that stretches between the Adriatic and Ionian seas. Unlike Italy’s classic tourist hotspots of Rome, Florence, or Venice, Puglia offers a slower pace, authentic charm, and a strong local identity rooted in traditions, music, and food.

Transportation & Exploration

🚶‍♂️ On Foot: Charming towns like Lecce, Otranto, and Gallipoli are best explored on foot. Narrow cobblestone streets, lively piazzas, and ornate churches are all within walking distance. 

🚆 By Train & Bus: Puglia is connected by the regional Ferrovie del Sud Est trains and buses, which link Lecce to coastal towns and smaller villages. Tickets are inexpensive but schedules can be limited—ideal for slow travelers without a car.

🚗 By Car: The best way to explore Puglia is by car. Having your own vehicle allows you to hop between beaches, olive groves, and hidden villages at your own pace. Rental cars🔗 are available in Lecce, Brindisi, and Bari. 

✈️ By Plane: The nearest airports are Brindisi Airport (Salento Airport, BDS)🔗, just 45 minutes from Lecce, and Bari Airport (BRI)🔗, about 2 hours away. Both offer car rentals, buses, and train connections to Salento.

🛥️ Guided Excursions: If you prefer not to drive, plenty of guided day trips are available:

• Brindisi: Alberobello, Locorotondo & Ostuni Tour with Brunch🔗
• Tour di Alberobello e Matera in bus privato da Bari🔗 (available in English)

Weather

Salento enjoys a classic Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters.

• ☀️ Summer (June–August): Hot and dry, with temperatures ranging from 28°C to 35°C (82°F to 95°F). Perfect for beach lovers.
• 🍂 Autumn (September–November): Warm seas and fewer crowds, with 18°C to 28°C (64°F to 82°F). Great for hiking and food festivals.
• ❄️ Winter (December–February): Mild and quiet, usually 8°C to 15°C (46°F to 59°F). Some coastal towns feel sleepy, but Lecce stays lively.
• 🌸 Spring (March–May): Temperatures between 15°C and 24°C (59°F to 75°F). A wonderful time to enjoy wildflowers, festivals, and outdoor activities without the summer heat.

Accommodation

Puglia offers a wide variety of stays, from seaside resorts to rustic masserie (traditional farmhouses) and charming B&Bs in historic towns.

👉 For my stay, when possible, I chose a family-run "agriturismo" just outside the main towns. I was looking for laid-back vibes and delicious homemade breakfasts, and it turned out to be the perfect balance between relaxation and easy access to the coast. The only trade-off is that you’ll need to drive a bit more—but the peaceful setting makes it well worth it:

• Brindisi: La maison de Monet🔗 
• Otranto: La casa del peperoncino🔗
• Nardò: Residenza Casa Arse🔗
• Matera: Le Casette🔗
• Bari: Valentino🔗
• Castellana Grotte: Semiramide Palace Hotel🔗
• Ostuni: Vico Trieste🔗

Lecce

Lecce, often called the "Florence of the South," is a stunning city in southern Italy known for its Baroque architecture and rich history. Lecce Italy travel guide:

• Piazza del Duomo🔗: This central square is surrounded by beautiful buildings, including the Lecce Cathedral (Duomo) with its impressive facade.

• Basilica di Santa Croce🔗: Admire the intricate Baroque facade of this church, considered one of the greatest examples of Lecce's Baroque architecture. It costs 11€ to enter, but you can purchase a ticket at 9€, which allows you to enter all the monuments in Lecce. Next to the church, you can visit the campanile (bell tower), which costs 12€.

• Roman Amphitheatre🔗: Discover the well-preserved ruins of this ancient amphitheater, located near the city center. Cost is 10€.
• Castello di Carlo V🔗: Explore this 16th-century castle, which now houses the Civic Museum and offers panoramic views of the city. Free to enter, it costs only if you want a guided tour.

✨Particularly in Lecce, there is also a strong coffee culture. I highly suggest stopping by any "bar" and ordering a plain Espresso or a coffee with ice (caffè con ghiaccio), which is a local specialty. You can order it either with or without almond milk. Add a Pasticciotto to go with the coffee. 

👉 You can find this specialty: Quart'a Caffè Pacamara🔗 or Caffé Avio🔗

🍽️ One must experience is to enjoy the local cuisine, here you find my article on what to eat in Puglia. In Lecce, for a quick lunch bite, you can eat a Puccia: it consists of a round, hollowed-out bread filled with various ingredients such as cheese, cured meats, and vegetables. 👉 You can find it at L'angolino di Via Matteotti🔗.

👉 Accommodation: La Maison de Monet🔗

Otranto 

Otranto, a charming coastal town in southern Italy's Salento region, offers a blend of natural beauty, historical landmarks, and cultural attractions. Things to do in Otranto:

• Otranto Cathedral🔗(Basilica di Santa Maria Annunziata): Marvel at the stunning mosaic floor of this 11th-century cathedral, which depicts the Tree of Life, biblical scenes, and zodiac signs. The cathedral also houses the relics of the Martyrs of Otranto. Descend into the underground crypt beneath the Cathedral of Otranto to see ancient frescoes and learn about the town's Byzantine history. You can enter for free, from 7.00 AM to 12.30 PM, and from 3.00 to 8.00 PM.

• Beaches: Spend some time relaxing on one of Otranto's beautiful beaches, such as Baia dei Turchi🔗 or Porto Badisco🔗. With crystal-clear waters and scenic surroundings, these beaches are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports.

✨ I can’t recommend Baia dei Turchi enough. The beach is wide and spacious, with stunning crystal-clear water. There are a few lidos, but not too many — keeping the atmosphere quite natural and wild.

• Lighthouse of Punta Palascìa🔗: visit the easternmost point of Italy and see the iconic white lighthouse standing atop the cliffs. It's a great spot to watch the sunrise or simply enjoy the breathtaking coastal views at sunset.

✨ As for the accommodation I picked during my stay, I wanted to stay outside the city to immerse myself in nature. In Puglia, there are the Masserie, which are beautiful but can be very expensive. However, there are lovely B&Bs that are budget-friendly and stunning.

👉 I highly suggest staying in Casa del Peperoncino, the host was wonderful and the breakfast was delicious. 

👉 A boat tour is always a great way to discover hidden coves and swim in crystal-clear waters. I recommend taking one from Otranto — many tours include refreshing swim stops and even an aperitivo on board.

✨ The surroundings of Gallipoli however are beautiful, as the water is very clear and you can find some incredible beaches. I highly recommend:

• Spiaggia di Punta della Suina🔗: It is renowned for its crystal-clear turquoise waters, soft golden sand, and picturesque surroundings.

The beach of Porto Selvaggio is characterized by its clear turquoise waters, surrounded by rocky cliffs and pine forests. It offers visitors a pristine and secluded setting away from the crowds, making it an ideal destination for those seeking tranquility and relaxation.

⚠️ It takes 15 minutes on foot to reach the Spiaggia di Porto Selvaggio from the parking spot located here🔗. There are indications of the beach; it's very easy to spot the trail.

✨ In addition to sunbathing and swimming, visitors to Spiaggia di Porto Selvaggio can explore the surrounding natural park, which features scenic hiking trails that wind through the coastal Mediterranean landscape. 

✨ As for accommodation, I found this beautiful place to sleep outside Nardò, I highly suggest it: Residenza Casa Arse🔗

👉 A boat tour from Gallipoli is a fantastic way to uncover secluded beaches and admire the coastline from the sea. Many excursions include swim stops in turquoise waters and end with a chilled aperitivo on board. I suggest this one.

Matera

Although Matera is technically in the Basilicata region, it’s most easily reached from Puglia. Famous for its ancient cave dwellings and breathtaking architecture, Matera offers a wealth of fascinating sights and experiences to explore. Things to do in Matera:

• Sassi di Matera🔗: the Sassi of Matera, the ancient cave dwellings carved into the limestone rock, are indeed divided into two main areas: Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano. Sasso Caveoso is the older of the two Sassi districts, characterized by its winding alleys, cave dwellings, and steep cliffs overlooking the Gravina River. It is home to some of the earliest cave settlements in Matera, dating back thousands of years. Sasso Barisano is situated adjacent to Sasso Caveoso, is slightly more developed and organized. Here, you'll find a mix of residential cave dwellings and more modern structures built into the rock. Sasso Barisano also features narrow streets, hidden courtyards, and panoramic viewpoints offering stunning vistas of the city and surrounding landscape. Both Sassi districts are UNESCO World Heritage Sites and offer visitors a unique glimpse into Matera's ancient past and remarkable architecture. Exploring these historic neighborhoods is like stepping back in time and experiencing a living museum of human habitation carved into the rock.

👉 First belvedere: Belvedere Luigi Guerricchio detto dei "Tre Archi"🔗

👉 Second Belvedere:  Belvedere Piazzetta Pascoli🔗

👉 Third Belvedere: it's not a belvedere per se, but from here you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Orecchiette, which translates to "little ears" in Italian, is a type of pasta that's particularly popular in the Puglia region, where Bari is located. This street is famous for its many small shops and stalls where local women make and sell orecchiette pasta by hand.

⚠️ To be completely honest, Alberobello was a bit of a letdown to me. It's a nice village, but overcrowded and a bit fake. I don't suggest buying souvenirs or eating out here, as the prices are very high. However, I still believe is worth a visit.

✨ I highly recommend paying a visit to the nearby oil shop (Oleificio Salamida Alberobello🔗) when you're in Alberobello. Their olive oil is exceptional and offered at a very reasonable price point.
