Written by MOpuglia Team | Category: Travel Guides
Puglia is a long, varied, and incredibly generous land. If it's your first time here, you might feel overwhelmed by the myriad beauties to visit. Don't panic! We at MOpuglia have selected the 5 stops that absolutely cannot be missed from your itinerary.
Pack your suitcase (and don't forget one of our light t-shirts for the southern sun!), let's go!
1. Polignano a Mare: A Dive into the Blue
Arriving in Polignano means finding yourself in front of one of Italy's most famous views. The houses perched on the sea and the famous Lama Monachile beach will take your breath away.
MOpuglia's tip: Enjoy an artisanal gelato while strolling among the poems written on the walls of the historic center.
Want to take this view home? Check out our iconic Polignano postcard, perfect for framing.
2. Alberobello: The Magic of the Trulli
A UNESCO World Heritage site, Alberobello is a unique place in the world. Walking through the Monti and Aia Piccola districts will make you feel like you're in a fairy tale. These dry-stone constructions tell the agricultural history of our land.
It's the ideal place to take incredible photos. Make sure you wear something original: our Puglia-themed t-shirts are favorites among travelers who love to stand out!
3. Lecce: Enchanting Baroque
Let's move to Salento. Lecce, called the "Florence of the South," will amaze you with its Lecce stone that reflects the sunlight in a warm honey color. Piazza Duomo and the Basilica di Santa Croce are obligatory stops.
4. Ostuni: The White City
Perched on a hill overlooking the Adriatic, Ostuni shines with a dazzling white. Getting lost in its narrow alleys, among flower pots and artisan shops, is a mystical experience.
5. Vieste and Gargano: Wild Puglia
For those who love unspoiled nature, Gargano is paradise. Vieste, with its legendary stack Pizzomunno, offers golden beaches and sea caves to explore by boat.
