Thanks to Instagram, Puglia, Italy has become a very popular region – just look at pictures! There are beautiful, white-washed villages, amazing beaches, delicious Apulian food and wonderful people. All these reasons will make your visit a very memorable one! Not to mention, it is very convenient to rent a car and visit practically all of it, since many towns are a short drive away from each other, and all are near the beautiful coast.
Having the longest coastline of any mainland Italian region, Puglia consists of the entire ‘heel’ of Italy’s boot shape. Surrounded by the Adriatic Sea on the east, and the Ionian Sea on the west. Both being part of the Mediterranean Sea.

Another spectacular place to visit is Matera. Not in the Puglia region, but close enough to drive to. It is truly a unique, must visit town.
