Puglia (or Apulia, in English) is a long, narrow peninsula, offers more than 800 km of coastline, surrounded by vast wheat fields, olive groves, almond orchards and vineyards. Puglia produces one-tenth of the wine drunk in Europe. Many people don’t even know where it is, but if you visit, you’ll fall in love with it.

The area is called “Le Murge” and it’s the second largest plain in Italy. One of the major attractions that you will see only in Puglia is a “trulli”. They are unique structures to the area, which are whitewashed cones made of stones held together without mortar. Also there you will find an excellent archeological museum, a host of cathedrals dating back to the 10th century, Greek and Roman ruins and some of the very cleanest beaches and water in the Mediterranean.

You have the opportunity to experience this Mediterranean region by biking through the whitewashed cottages, or take of some cookery classes in the Cooking School, and of course, you can taste different types of wines in the Puglia’s wine tours.
