Accomodation – From trulli to masserie, passing through apartments in cities of art, camping sites, tourist villages, camping sites and luxury resorts. The welcome in Puglia satisfies every type of visitor and every budget.
Food – Apulian cuisine combines the flavors of the sea and those of the earth in dishes with genuine flavors such as orecchiette with turnip greens, burrata, caciocavallo, the capocollo of Martina Franca and many others to taste. Do not forget to try the oil, the main product of the Region, on a slice of bread: delicious.
Flying to Apulia – There are two main airports in the Region: Bari closest to the central northern tourist resorts and Brindisi, chosen above all for those staying in the Itria Valley and Salento. Puglia can also be reached by train thanks to the connections proposed by the State Railways and by sea with ferries or private boats.
Getting around – Apulia can be explored by car, but also by train and bus. There are four regional railway lines: the South-East Railways linking the city of Bari to Brindisi, Lecce and Taranto; the tramway that connects Bari to the Northern Municipalities; the Appulo Lucane railways from Bari to Basilicata and the Gargano railways that connect the city of Foggia to the neighboring municipalities. Bus companies, both private and urban, connect the main airports to the most important cities in the area and on the coast. Those who want to reach the Tremiti Islands can do it thanks to the ferries or the companies that carry out the transport by helicopter.
Suggested daily budget – around 20 to 100 EUR
