Puglia self catering holiday accommodation

Puglia Towns And Cities

The towns and cities of Puglia, most of them small, are a distinctive feature of the region's attraction. Through its urban fabric, you can experience Puglia's long cultural and architectural heritage - although it is the intimate and informal "feel", narrow streets surrounding the main squares, small bars and restaurants, surprise views - which people mainly remember. We encourage people to get off the beaten track and see some of the less well known places, to discover some unexpected delights of Puglia.

Puglia (or Apulia) is the 'heel' of the boot of Italy. Stretching over 400km from Lecce and the Salento in the south, all the way to Foggia and the Gargano in the north.

Over the centuries Puglia has been ruled by Mycenaean Greeks, Romans, Normans, Hohenstaufen, Turks, Venetians, French and finally becoming part of the Kingdom of Italy - Puglia is a melting pot of cultures and peoples.

The home of the conical shaped 'trulli', Puglia also boasts impressive baroque styled cities, dramatic Norman architecture, African and Greek inspired historical centres, and a vast array of beaches along the endless Adriatic and Ionian coastlines.

Puglia is Italy's market garden, producing much of the fresh produce distributed around the country and further afield from vast expanses of olive trees and vineyards. Combined with the frutti di mare taken from the many fishing villages, this has resulted in food being one of, if not the, most important aspect of any Pugliesi's life!
