Puglia, White Towns and Ancient Landscapes

Puglia is read through stone: the ornate facades of Lecce, the whitewashed streets of Ostuni, Alberobello's trulli and the masserie scattered across the countryside. Travelling from Salento into the Valle d'Itria and the Murge, this journey balances major landmarks with smaller towns and rural traditions. It offers a broad cultural introduction to the region while remaining flexible enough to emphasise architecture, food, photography, walking or local craft.
