Puglia Honeymoon
Puglia is the region that forms the heel of Italy’s boot, positioned at the crossroads of the Ionian and Adriatic and Aegean seas. Because of its location, Puglia has been a strategic home base for invaders. Over the centuries, the Greeks, Saracens, Normans, Turks, and Romans all conquered this area, leaving behind traces of their cultures. This mix of influences results in an array of architecture and flavors in modern-day Puglia that makes it one of the most interesting regions of Italy to explore.
When planning a Puglia honeymoon, you can expect sun-drenched land, unique architecture, simple yet delicious cuisine, and the longest stretch of coastline in any Italian province. As Italy’s breadbasket and home to much of the country’s olive oil production, Puglia is also an excellent destination for foodies.
