Apulia lies in Italy’s far south-east and forms the famous ‘heel’ of the peninsula. The region is known for long coastlines, ancient olive groves and a deep cultural heritage that bridges East and West.
Visitors love sights such as the conical trulli of Alberobello and Lecce’s baroque splendour. The Adriatic coast is often rugged and dramatic, while the Ionian side offers shallow turquoise water reminiscent of the Caribbean. Apulia is Italy’s breadbasket, world-famous for olive oil and handmade orecchiette.
