Holidays in Puglia: Activities, Attractions, and Highlights

Welcome to our detailed guide for a perfect holiday in Puglia. This captivating region in southern Italy offers remarkable holiday rentals with pools. How can you maximise your time here? We have compiled a selection of activities, attractions, and essential sites to guarantee that your stay in Puglia is truly memorable.

Discover the Coast

Among the key attractions of Puglia is its stunning coastline, defined by crystal-clear waters and charming villages. Start your coastal adventure in Polignano a Mare, a delightful town famous for its striking cliffs and breathtaking sea vistas. Here, you can take a refreshing dip in the Adriatic or simply unwind under the sun, taking in the exquisite scenery all around you.

The adventure unfolds in Ostuni, often referred to as the “white city” of Puglia. Its whitewashed buildings and winding alleys create a distinctive and inviting ambiance. Wander through the quaint streets, dine at local eateries, and indulge in the delightful regional delicacies, allowing yourself to fully embrace the authenticity and flavours of this captivating part of Puglia.

Visit historic Lecce, the Baroque pearl of Southern Italy

Explore Historic Lecce, the Baroque Jewel of Southern Italy

Often dubbed the “Florence of the South,” Lecce is an essential stop for those passionate about architecture and history. The city is famed for its stunning Baroque structures, including the Basilica of Santa Croce and the Palazzo dei Celestini, which narrate tales of a rich and captivating heritage. We suggest taking the time to wander through the narrow lanes of the historic centre, immersing yourself in its distinctive ambiance. Lecce also boasts a vibrant cultural scene year-round, featuring numerous events and festivals that celebrate local artistry and tradition.

Explore the Itria Valley

For those seeking a quieter escape, the Itria Valley is the perfect destination. This picturesque hilly region, situated in the heart of Puglia, provides some of the finest hiking opportunities in the area. Here, you can wander through pristine landscapes adorned with centuries-old olive groves, verdant vineyards, and historic trulli scattered across the land. Make the most of your time by strolling through the vineyards and visiting local wineries to sample some of the finest wines that Puglia has to offer, all while enjoying an authentic experience in a tranquil and charming environment.

Discover the traditional cuisine of Puglia

Puglia is celebrated for its superb cuisine, which highlights fresh, local ingredients paired with time-honoured recipes. We highly recommend trying the seafood, including the famous Taranto-style mussels, as well as the local favourite of fava beans and chicory, especially popular in springtime. Be sure to indulge in the region's high-quality olive oil and acclaimed wines—true culinary delights that will enhance your experience. We also invite you to explore our blog post dedicated to 10 Traditional Dishes from Puglia, where you can uncover even more gastronomic treasures.

Explore the Castellana Caves

The Castellana Caves are a key regional attraction and a must-visit for anyone exploring Puglia. These subterranean chambers span more than 3 kilometres and showcase striking stalactites and stalagmites. Led by expert guides, the cave tour provides a unique experience that will stay with you long after you depart.


THE CLIMATE IN PUGLIA

Puglia enjoys a mild climate year-round, with plenty of sunshine and a refreshing sea breeze.

In spring (March to May), a gentle, warm light washes over the landscape: temperatures are mild, typically between 15 and 22 °C, with occasional showers. During this season, olive groves and almond trees in bloom, alongside white limestone towns, glow in the spring light. The days are ideal for wandering the historic towns of Lecce and Alberobello or enjoying pleasant moments on the beaches along the east coast.

Summer (June–August) brings clear skies and Mediterranean heat, with temperatures from 28 to 35 °C. The coastline offers relief with its crystal-clear sea, long beaches, and villages perched on cliffs, such as Polignano a Mare. Evenings come alive with local trattorias and festivals. Remember to pack sunscreen, plenty of water, and light clothing to make the most of this season.

Autumn (September–November) is pleasantly mild, with temperatures around 20–25 °C. The sea remains warm enough for swimming until October, after which it cools slightly. Cities such as Bari and Lecce are bathed in warm light, while quieter coastal towns invite relaxed walks along the shore.

Winter (December–February) is mild, with daytime temperatures between 8 and 15 °C and predominantly dry weather. The smaller crowds make museums, churches, and trulli villages feel more tranquil and welcoming. During this period you can enjoy urban experiences, interspersed with moments of relaxation while savouring authentic regional cuisine in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
