Situated on the Adriatic Sea, Bari is the capital of Puglia (Apulia) and the second largest city in southern Italy. This area has been largely overlooked by tourists, however, it has grown as both a cultural and historical destination, as well as a place for beach lovers and those hoping to have a more authentic Italian experience. The old town (Bari Vecchia) is charming as is the lungomare (beachside promenade) where you can take a stroll and admire the stunning coastline, beaches, and port.
Visit and explore the Old Town (Bari Vecchia) & the Murat (Centro Storico), Basilica di San Nicola, Cathedral of San Sabino, Castelo Normanno-Svevo, The Lungomare Nazario Sauro (promenade), Piazza Mercantile, Provincial Art Gallery, Via Sparano, Lido San Francesco, and so much more.
2 nights in Taranto
Taranto is an important military and commercial port in Puglia, thought to be founded by the ancient Spartans, who used to call it Taras. Seafood is this town's claim to fame, as its strategic location, on the Salento Peninsula, bordering the seas of Piccolo and Grande, make it easy to be awash in the region's (some even say Italy's) best shellfish. You can enjoy the town's delicious local cuisine, its beautiful marina and coastline, and the Castello Aragonese from the Lungomare Vittorio Emanuele III.
Visit and explore the Castello Aragonese, National Archaeological Museum of Taranto-Marta, Tramontone Beach, Concattedrale Gran Madre di Dio and so much more.
3 nights in Lecce
Also known as the 'Florence of the South', Lecce is situated in the middle of the Salento Peninsula. The town is best known for its unique style of baroque architecture, which bears its name, barocco leccese, and for its fine-grained yellow limestone buildings that set the city apart from its neighbors. Lecce's long history predates Roman times, but it's well preserved Roman Amphitheater is one of its finest attractions.
Visit and explore the amazing Roman Amphitheater, Basilica di Santa Croce, Cattedrale Maria Santissima Assunta, Porta Napoli, Archaeological Museum Faggiano, Castello Carlo V and so much more.
