Far from the noise and crowds, Puglia is probably one of the most interesting regions of Italy. From the rocky Gargano, covered in lush forest, to the unique Tremiti islands and the under water caves, on southwards to Gallipoli and Santa Maria di Leuca, the Apulian coastline is one long and spectacularly beautiful beach on to the Adriatic.
Inland, amongst vineyards and olive groves, one finds both large and small towns, rich in historical interest, culture and folklore. In addition to the inhabitants strong sense of humour,the local traditions such as the carnival of Putignano, the characteristic architecture of Alberobello with its Trulli, and the wonderful cuisine, Puglia offers that customary hospitality which has strong links with the past and the close relationship the region has had with Greece.
