A lot of you might have enjoyed Venice and Rome. But guess what you totally missed while you were in Italy? Puglia is the southernmost ‘heel’ of the beautiful Italian peninsula that’ll treat your eyes and tongue in the most delightful way. The culture and food here is quite diverse, even for Italy.
Trawel Mart reviews the reasons why you should visit Puglia:
Uncrowded streets: As Puglia is lesser known than other Italian travel destinations, you won’t see the usual horde of rambling tourists. One can walk like a king or queen in the streets of Ostuni while enjoying the attractive white houses.
Mouth-watering Food: Puglia is famous for its flavorsome cuisine. The regional food features vegetarian dishes primarily, due to its history of poverty. The locals experimented with vegetables, oil, cheese and other vegetarian ingredients as they couldn’t afford meat. Antipasti (starter dishes) complement the main course with mouth-watering items, such as Sformato, grilled vegetables, soufflés and fine Italian wine. Don’t miss out Burrata if you love cheese.
Attractive Townships: The towns in Puglia feature beautiful buildings and street architecture that give subtle hints of the medieval era. The streets are rendered colorful with flowers, vegetable stalls and ornate balconies. The Trullo houses will remind you of the Shire in Tolkien’s Middle Earth. You can get an awesome view of the Ionian and the Adriatic Sea from Otranto and Gallipoli.
Rich Culture: The people of Puglia have a strong traditional culture, especially in food and music. Different regions of Puglia have their own distinct cultural identity, be it music or food. Greek immigrants have put a mark on the local culture with Grecia Salentino. You can enjoy the folk dance, Pizzica by joining in with the locals.
The Beaches: With an 800-kilometre coastline, Puglia is an awesome summer destination because of its beaches. Since Puglia is warmer than most other parts of Italy, you can still come down to the beach for a swim around winter.
