Puglia & Matera Holidays
europe
Tucked away in southern Italy, this enchanting region is bordered by the Adriatic and Ionian Seas and boasts 800km of rugged coastline.
Moving inland, golden beaches transform into towering forests, rolling hills and endless olive groves. Traces of Puglia’s eclectic past are scattered across the region, from Frederick II’s decorative Castel del Monte and the delightful trulli houses of Alberobello to Lecce’s distinctive baroque architecture.
Trailfinders offers a range of Puglia holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to see a little bit of everything or simply relax in the peaceful countryside – they are the perfect people to ask.
