Mainly lying between the Adriatic and Ionian Sea, Puglia is clearly different from other bordering regions. The land is mostly flat, with no high ground aside from the Gargano headland. Its geographical position, land, Mediterranean climate and uncontaminated sea, together with the attractive cultural events and typical cuisine, make this region ideal for a break or a holiday.

For example, the valleys of the Daunia Mountains break down towards the tavoliere pugliese and the Adriatic Sea with villages gathered on its poor and gaunt clearings that leave room for the more modern and lively world of the plains. Here, there is a succession of wheat fields, straight roads and peasant villages with their typically white coloured houses. Onwards towards the Gargano, the mountains reappear and the villages are gathered on the high grounds. Called the “spur of Italy”, it has always attracted tourist who spend their summer holidays on its long beaches. The high grounds open up directly onto the sea and the coast, and alternate between rocky headlands, charming inlets surrounded by olive trees, caves, pine and citrus plantations and fishing villages built into the sea’s rocks.
