Italy – In Puglia 7D/6Nbeyonders2024-01-10T10:55:06+00:00
Puglia is called the ‘heel of the boot’ of Italy’. Other than the obvious reason of the shape of the map, this is also because Puglia does not enjoy the top of the mind recall like the more popular Rome and Florence do.
Here, you will find an Italy of 30-40 years ago. Remote; behind, in the best sense; not trampled by tourists. Puglia has a wealth of architectural gems along with great food, wine, and beautiful beaches. This region showcases both Romanesque and Baroque architecture.
But what fascinates us the most is that this region is the epitome of slow food and zero kilometer living. “Slow food,” is derived from local produce, freshly-caught seafood and naturally raised meat and is the only way one eats here. You will know who has grown the grapes and made the wine you are drinking in Puglia. The sea food in Puglia is one of the tastiest as the Ionian sea is the saltiest part of the Mediterranean.
Take a look at this experience in a time-capsule that we have curated for you… And hey, in case you want to add on the charms of Rome or Florence or Venice or any other place to this, let us know.
