Puglia
The remote yet captivating heel of Italy’s boot has 800km of stunning coastline. Two seas meet here: the Adriatic to the east and the Ionian to the south. It dramatically combines sun-bleached landscapes, hill-top coastal towns and Baroque churches. Popular with Italians, in some places it can be gloriously rare to hear a foreign voice.
