What to See in Puglia Starting from Bari: sea, villages and traditions

Puglia is a region that fascinates with its whitewashed towns, crystal-clear sea and authentic traditions. Bari, the regional capital, is the perfect starting point to explore central and southern Puglia.

Bari: gateway to Puglia

Walking through Bari Vecchia means experiencing the authentic soul of the city, with narrow alleys, hanging laundry and the aroma of fresh focaccia. Highlights include the Basilica of San Nicola, the Cathedral of San Sabino, the Norman-Swabian Castle and the seafront. Stay at B&B HOTEL Bari Rondò, the ideal base to visit the city and explore the region.

Itria Valley and Alberobello trulli

From Bari you can easily reach the Itria Valley, the heart of authentic Puglia. Alberobello, with its UNESCO-listed trulli, is a must-see, along with Locorotondo and Martina Franca, towns famous for their whitewashed houses, narrow streets and surrounding vineyards.

Lecce and the Salento

Heading south, in about two hours from Bari you arrive in Lecce, renowned for its baroque architecture. Continue into the Salento, discovering the beaches of Otranto, Porto Cesareo and Santa Maria di Leuca, where the Ionian and Adriatic seas meet.

Sea, flavors and traditions

From Bari’s historic center to the Salento countryside, Puglia offers a complete experience: golden beaches, medieval towns and an authentic cuisine with handmade orecchiette, extra virgin olive oil and local wines.
