Overview

Discover fairytale trulli houses, picturesque farmland and quaint villages

In the heart of the Mediterranean lie Puglia and Basilicata, two unique and still largely undiscovered regions of Italy between the emerald waters of the Adriatic and Ionian seas. This trip gives us the chance to explore the highlights of both, from trulli houses of the lush Itria Valley and the white hilltop town of Ostuni to the rock churches and Unesco-recognised Sassi district of the beautiful city of Matera. Aside from the perfect mix of cultural discovery and gentle walking, we will have the chance to sample the legendary local cuisine and delicious wines that make this region a true paradise for food lovers.

Food
All breakfasts, two dinners and one wine and local produce tasting are included. In Puglia, you will find regional cooking with strong links to the land and sea. A selection of food on offer includes: bread from the Murge; durum wheat pasta; olives; the pasta delicacy orecchiette, which is served with a sauce of turnip-tops or fresh tomato and sheep’s ricotta-cheese; cavatelli with pulses; aubergine (eggplant) and parmesan bake; grilled fish and seafood; burrata (soft mozzarella and cream cheese); plus excellent wines. This region is a paradise for food lovers and the abundance of delicious vegetables also makes it a great destination for vegetarians. There will be many opportunities to taste the best local specialities, in particular during the produce and wine tasting and the traditional dinner included in the itinerary.
Weather

Puglia enjoys a wonderful Mediterranean climate with year-round sunshine and just enough rainfall to ensure the green is never too far away. Although Puglia covers a large area, it is long and narrow – not more than 18mi (30km) across. This means you’re never far from the sea, which has a moderating effect on the weather. Please note, Puglia can be very hot, particularly in summer when temperatures can near 40C (104F).
