Puglia, 2026

Last updated on Sep 8, 2026

My partner and I like exploring smaller, lesser known areas of countries the best. We’ve both visited the major cities of Italy – Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, Bologna. However, we enjoyed our trip to Peloponnesia in Greece and had heard from folks that Puglia would be similar in terms of locality and the warmth of the people.
