When to go

If you don’t fancy sweltering-hot weather and busy beaches, visit in early or late summer for milder conditions and the chance to bag a decent spot on the sand. Fine, sunny weather starts in spring and lasts well into autumn this far south, and sees the region at its best.

Getting there

  • Planes

    There are airports at Brindisi and Bari, both with regular flights from other European cities.

  • Trains

    Puglia’s main towns and cities are connected by rail, though local services are often scenic and slow (www.trenitalia.com). Remoter areas, such as 13th-century Castel del Monte, require a car.

  • Automobiles

    Car hire is essential if you really want to explore. Chancing upon remote villages as you drive along is all part of the fun.

  • Taxis

    Trying to hail a cab on the street won’t get you anywhere; go to a taxi rank or ask your hotel to order one for you. They are metered and levy small extra charges for luggage and for travelling after 10pm.
