The sunny region in southern Italy offers so much: lots of history, unspoiled nature, beautiful coastline and intense flavors 🍦So it‘s time for you to visit 😁 Here are our tips: 🗺️ Places to visit / Things to do 1. & 2. Polignano a Mare 🌊 This beach town is perfect to go for a swim! 3. Restaurant Grotta Palazzese 🍝 The location is incredibly beautiful but the reviews online are a nightmare (expensive and bad food quality) so better just swing by for a picture 📸 4. Cave of Poetry 🏖️ Unfortunately it‘s forbidden to swim there nowadays but it looks really nice! 5. & 6. Alberobello 🌸 Make sure to stay in a trulli house for the night and go for a walk early in the morning! Every corner looks so beautiful 😍 7. Torre de Sant Andrea 🏖️ Bring your bikini but be prepared for strong waves 🌊 8 .& 9. Monopoli 🌅 In our opinion this is the cutest place in Puglia. If you want to stay in one town during your trip, I would highly recommend this one. It‘s charming, has lots of restaurants and a beach 🏖️ 10. Matera 💃 Not a part of Puglia but very close by so it would be a shame to skip it! It‘s one of the oldest cities in the world Other places nearby: -Locorotondo -Ostruni 🏨 Where to stay We made a road trip coming from the Amafi Coast and stayed in a cave hotel in Matera, followed by a trulli house in Alberobello and a farm house near the Cave of Poetry. If you only want to stay at one place during your trip, I would choose Monopoli 🤗 🚗 How to get there You need a car to get to all of these places! There’s lots of parking though and roads are okay compared to other places in Italy 🙈 ⏰ Best time to visit We were there in July and it was definitely too hot! I would not do it again to be honest 😅 We only went out early in the morning and late in the evening and had to cool ourselves down all the time. Better go in Mai / June or September / October 🤗 🐶 Is Puglia dog friendly? YES! Like everywhere in Italy most people adore dogs and you can bring them to most places 🤗 Let us know if you have more questions ✨ cr:wanderlust_samoyed Contact us for removal

An intriguing beach with clean blue sea water~ This place is an absolute beauty located at the heart of Polignano A Mare. It is also famous for Red Bull challenges of outdoor diving which the platform is built next to the cliff, where the view was stunning from up there. The beach is especially more beautiful in summer with the sun shining over the beach reflecting the blue colour of the sea water~ #Beach #Polignano #Cliff
