#WEAREINPUGLIA
Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot, sits between two seas: the Adriatic to the East and the Ionian to the south. This strategic position, combined with more than 800 kilometers of beautiful coast-line, has shaped the region’s history and development. Puglia is known as the natural Italian gate to the East of the Mediterranean area.
A landscape made of green rolling hills showcases small historical towns surrounded by lush green olive groves and vineyards. Miles of coastline alternate little harbors with fortresses and lighthouses to white sandy beaches and crystal clear water. Puglia is a region which combines ancient traditions with modern lifestyle. The warm hospitality of the people from Puglia make visitors feel at home.
