The Salento, Puglia’s heel: baroque Lecce, Otranto’s mosaic and cliffs, Gallipoli, Santa Maria di Leuca, the best beaches, Negroamaro wines and masseria stays.
The best day trips from Bari: Polignano a Mare and Monopoli, the trulli of Alberobello, the Valle d’Itria and Ostuni, the cave city of Matera, plus masserie, food and how to get around Puglia.
