Puglia has become such a hot spot travel destination in the past few years and for many well deserved reasons! I grew up spending every summer in Puglia so I often get many questions about the region and how to make the most of a trip here. Because I have been lucky enough to spend so much time here, I know the hidden gems you should see and the spots worth visiting. Puglia has a special place in my heart...It's a region that has SO much to offer from its delicious food, rich history, breathtaking beaches and charming towns. One of the most common questions I get is which towns are actually worth visiting. In this guide, I will share with you which spots I think are a must when travelling central Puglia, also known as the Valle d'Itria area. You will find things to do in these towns, where to eat and drink and beaches to hang out at!
