PUGLIA MINI GUIDE! The sun-kissed region of Puglia sits in southern Italy, and it’s my absolute favorite. The flurry of charming towns, fairytale trulli, quaint fishing villages and stunning coastlines are an absolute dream to explore, and I’m sharing all of my recommendations below. Are you traveling to Italy this summer? BEST COASTAL SPOTS Cala dell’Acquaviva, Cave of Poerty, Lama Monachile, Porto Miggiano, Torre Sant’ Andrea FAIRYTALE TOWNS Alberobello, Cisternino, Lecce, Locorotondo, Monopoli, Polignano a Mare, Ostuni, DAYTRIPS Matera UNIQUE DINING EXPERIENCE Grotta Palazzese (Polignano a Mare) AIRBNB’S & HOTELS Borgo Canonica (Cisternino), Dimora Sighe (Alessano), Hermanas Relais (Alberobello), La Sommita (Ostuni), Masseria Muntibianchi Agri Resort (Otranto), Masseria Salinola (Ostuni), Trulo Suite Martodda (Locorotondo) PLACES TO EAT Condominio 60 (Polignano a Mare), Jarubad (Alberobello), Mezzofanti (Cisternino), Pizza & Co (Lecce), Scinua (Putignano) HOT TIPS -Rent a car! This region is spread out, and you’ll need a car to move between the little towns and beaches. And driving in this part of Italy is relatively low stress. -Stay a week. It’s hard to dedicate a solid week to one region of Italy when there are so many places to see, but seven days in Puglia is worth it if you want to enjoy the region at a relaxed pace. #puglia #italytravel #italytrip

MAGICAL PLACE! What a beautiful place, I highly recommend to visit this place. I swam on the first week of June, 2023. The water was cold, but it's a different type of cold. I'm not sure if you get distracted with the amazing scenery of the colors and the cave or if it's the good energy, but I can certified that swimming is very rejuvenating. I'm from Venezuela, Caribbean ocean... Just in case, you believe I came from the Polo North and this is warm to me! I put all my belongings on the top of a rock very close to the water (down in the cave). It looks safe and secure, but always be aware and bring only the basic. If your idea is jumping, a lot of people were doing this, check the bottom before doing this, there are a lot of rocks not too deep. This is free, no tickets. Just the parking outside. Pick up your trash and keep it clean!! ;)

'The Grotta della Poesia', was originally discovered by the ancient Messapi (7th century BC), who considered it a sacred place. Legend has it that a poet fell in love with a mermaid and was turned to stone when he tried to follow her into the sea. Other legends tell of nymphs who inhabited the cave and sang enchanting melodies. This archaeological site is one of the most important in Salento, with a history dating back to the Paleolithic period. Here, you can explore ancient ruins, walls, tombs and artifacts that testify to the presence of millennia-old civilizations. It cost 3$ to get in, you can't drink or eat or suntan. Incredible place to see the most wonderous of caves and bodies of water.

It’s been renamed to The Caves Of Disappointment! Think you’re going swimming here, think again. After you’ve paid your parking and your €3 entrance fee each, you’ll quickly discover that whilst it is beautiful, it’s probably not worth paying the money at all. You basically are paying for the security staff to then stop you going in, wonderful! It’s also quite a lot smaller than pictures suggest. If you’re happy for a few minutes viewing then pay away, but I sadly wouldn’t recommend as it’s not quite like the Instagram shots make out anymore. There more beautiful things to see that won’t cost you a penny. I reckon if you come out of hours you can probably go in no problems, as it looks like there’s absolutely no fencing a little further along the road. So do this instead as it’s probably the only chance you’ll get to jump in and have a lovely swim, plus you’ll probably be alone, even better!
