Details about this trip
Join me to explore this beautiful gem of Southern Italy: Puglia, also named as the "Heel of the Boot" as Italian peninsula has got a typical boot shape. We will enjoy beautiful sea 🌊 and lovely beaches 🏖where to relax, delicious cuisine🍝, the prehistoric cone shaped houses "Trulli" of Alberobello and the vibrant night life that Puglia has to offer! We will visit the main city Bari, Alberobello with its "Trulli" and then we will enjoy the beautiful seaside cities of Polignano a Mare and Monopoli. We will end our trip getting to Matera in Basilicata visiting its famous "Sassi", another Unesco Heritage site. IMPORTANT: This trip will be confirmed when we create a group of at least 2 or 3 trip mates one month before the departure and bookings will close one week before or It will be postponed.

My name is Mara and I am an artist based in London but I am originally from Puglia and I would love to share my favourite places where I always come back on holiday, my culture and traditions with you. I would like to meet other like minded tripmates, friendly, genuine people who respect other people in the group and the environment, love exploring and genuinely have a great time.

We’ll stay in comfortable B&Bs or apartments in shared twin rooms with private bathrooms. A private room can also be requested for an additional fee. All accommodations will be conveniently located near the city centre, with easy access to public transport, shops and local amenities. Breakfast is included in the trip price. I’m excited to share the Puglia I know and love, from beautiful coastal towns and local food to traditional villages and UNESCO heritage sites. I’d love to explore these places together with a small group of friendly and open-minded TripMates, while keeping the journey relaxed and authentic. If you have any questions about the itinerary, accommodation or the trip itself, feel free to reach out, I’ll be happy to help!
