Puglia unfolds in vibrant towns and scenic landscapes. Enjoy the freedom of a private transfer from Naples (or the Amalfi/Sorrento Coast) to Puglia’s coast and countryside. Highlights include Barivecchia (Bari’s old town) with its Basilica di San Nicola, the waterfront port of Brindisi with Roman columns and an Aragonese castle, fairy-tale Alberobello in the Valle d’Itria (UNESCO trulli village), and Lecce – the “Florence of the South” famed for its golden Baroque architecture (Santa Croce, Duomo and a Roman amphitheater). (Optionally extend your trip to Matera in Basilicata for ancient Sassi cave dwellings.)
Destinations in Puglia
- Bari (Apulia’s capital): Historic seaside city with a charming old town (Barivecchia) and seaside promenade. Don’t miss the Basilica di San Nicola and the lively Mercato Coperto.
- Brindisi: Ancient port gateway to the East, with Roman columns at the harbor and the medieval Aragonese castle. Enjoy seafood restaurants on the waterfront and panoramic views from Virgil’s Staircase.
- Alberobello: UNESCO-listed trulli village in the Itria Valley. Its whitewashed, conical-roofed trulli houses create a fairy-tale atmosphere. Stroll through Rione Monti’s labyrinth of alleyways amid 1,500+ trulli – an unforgettable photo opportunity.
- Lecce: Baroque gem of Salento, known as the “Florence of the South.” Marvel at the sandstone Basilica di Santa Croce and the Piazza del Duomo. Explore Lecce’s lively historic center and nearby beaches (only a few kilometers away) for sun and fun.
Nearby Matera (in Basilicata) can be added as an optional stop. Matera’s ancient “Sassi” cave dwellings are UNESCO-listed and make a magical half-day excursion. Our drivers can build in a 2-hour visit in Matera’s hilltop stone city before continuing your Puglia journey.
