Ostuni
The White City: a maze of whitewashed alleys, sea-facing terraces and the cathedral at the top. Our town.
Our tip: Go up towards sunset: the light on the white stone is something you'll remember.

Cisternino
An intimate, authentic village famous for its butcher-grills: you buy the meat and they cook it for you on the spot.
Our tip: Go in the evening and hungry — it's a ritual we love.

One of Italy's most beautiful villages, with its circular layout and pointed roofs. Dreamy views over the Itria Valley.

Alberobello
A UNESCO site, the kingdom of the trulli. Crowded but a must on your first time in Puglia.

Polignano a Mare
The village perched over the sea, with its famous beach set among the cliffs. Gelato and dives.
Our tip: It's farther, but on a summer evening it's worth the trip for dinner and a stroll.
