In the heel of Italy’s boot, spectacular Puglia is where you can set out on a never-ending journey of discovery. You’ll be amazed whichever road you take, thanks to the ocean panoramas, hills dotted with conical-roofed white houses, endless olive groves, meandering rivers, lagoons and extraordinary architecture. I happen to know the most spectacular route for a road trip through this province, which I’ll be happy to share with you. A trip to Puglia should involve exploring cities, villages, and countryside, experiencing Italian food and wine, and relaxing on beaches. Visit Puglia in late spring or early fall to enjoy comfortably warm weather without the summer crowds. Summer is also an option, but the weather can get hot, and you will have to contend with both local and tourist traffic.
