Apulia Tours & Trips
Think Apulia (Puglia in Italian) is Italy's next big thing? This heel region offers Lecce's baroque architecture, Alberobello's trulli houses, white-washed Ostuni, and coastal Polignano a Mare perched on cliffs. You'll eat orecchiette (ear-shaped pasta), burrata created here, fantastic seafood, and drink local wines. Explore the beaches along the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, and Castel del Monte's unique octagonal castle. Go before everyone discovers it.

A wonderful trip for young and old. Emilio and his family were great hosts -- and all were delightful--wife Clara and the children (5), brother Michael, father Antonio. The food was terrific: traditional Puglian dishes, plus special requests. A relaxed atmosphere in an amazing country with personable hosts and the opportunity to share culture, opinions, and make new friends.
Taste of Salento-Authentic Culinary ExperienceWe had just one problem with the hotel in Alberobello, we were taking to a different hotel that was far from city center.but it was resolved by sending us to the original hotel. The tour guides and drivers were excellent, on time and very knowledgeable.
