Italy is a great place to visit all year round, but summer is the perfect time to discover Puglia and enjoy its Mediterranean climate. The days are long and warm, which means you can take long walks by the sea or head inland to discover the region’s typical villages and traditional homes, like the trulli of Alberobello. Just off the coast of the Valle d’Itria, you’ll find some of the most stunning seaside resorts in southern Italy, facing both the Adriatic and Ionian seas. The beaches are washed by crystal-clear waters and there are rugged cliffs offering a breathtaking backdrop, which are great for exploring the wonders of the sea. From the Valle d’Itria, you can explore the coastal towns of Puglia, such as Ostuni, known as the “White City”, and the picturesque Polignano a Mare, famous for its sea caves and limestone cliffs overlooking the turquoise sea.
