Occupying the "heel" of Italy's "boot", the charming Puglia region in Southern Italy offers travelers much to discover. Tours to Puglia, or Apulia as it is also often referred to, reveal innumerable sightseeing treasures such as the unique beehive shaped houses in Alberobello, the white-stone baroque architecture of Lecce and, of course, the well-preserved old town of Bari. Moreover, the gastronomic side won't disappoint as Puglia is home to centuries-old traditions of wine-making, olive oil production, and orecchiette pasta.
