3Apulia, Italy
Located in the heel of Italy’s boot, Apulia (or Puglia) is a sun-soaked region that offers stunning coastal views, historic towns, and olive groves stretching to the horizon. Unlike the more crowded Amalfi Coast, Apulia remains a relatively peaceful destination with fewer tourists.
The region’s charming whitewashed towns, such as Ostuni and Alberobello, are perfect for wandering aimlessly through quiet streets. Apulia’s beaches are some of the most beautiful in Italy, with clear turquoise waters and rugged cliffs. One of the highlights of the region is the Salento Peninsula, where you’ll find both tranquil sandy beaches and dramatic rocky coastlines.
