Skip Puglia’s peak months and visit Parabita in the spring or autumn (in August, there’s the Sagra della Puccia festival, which is dedicated to bread).
Getting there
Planes
Touch down at Brindisi Airport, which is about an hour’s drive from Parabita.
Trains
Direct trains from pretty much all of Italy’s superstar cities arrive at Lecce’s station. From here, Parabita is a 40-minute drive away.
Automobiles
While charming, this town is on the small side, and you can’t really expand your horizons here without a car, so to make the most of your stay, pick up some wheels.
