Apulia is situated on a peninsula that lies in the middle of the Mediterranean, separating the Ionian and Adriatic Seas with its southern portion well known as Salento.
Puglia landscapes and coastline scenery, in the unique
region without mountain chains, rich of plain
zones with a mild Mediterranean climate.
Target of many invasions from every power in
the Mediterranean area, its history has been
ruled by many and their influences are still
present in its deep culture: Greek, Romans, Goths,
Byzantines, etc...
The traditional gastronomy of the area is influenced
by what is grown and raised on the land.
“Cucina povera” is celebrated as one of the best
examples of the healthy Mediterranean Diet, based on
wheat, vegetables and olive oil. High quality food, wines and
olive oils have made Puglia well known throughout the world.
Traditionally focused on family, food and celebrations, Puglia is not crowded as others, surely enchanting to be experienced alone or in family for holidays.
