Discover Apulia in Southeast Italy
Apulia - the boot heel of Italy - is one of Europe's most
fascinating regions. Known to Italians as 'Puglia' it overflows
with treasures that are guaranteed to delight people of all
ages. There are deserted Roman ruins to explore, grand castles,
ancient streets, quaint fishing villages and one of the largest
forests in Europe.
If you're looking to relax on a quiet beach, Apulia can deliver
here too. The Adriatic coastline is peppered with a multitude of
sandy beaches. They offer serene tranquillity in abundance...and
even during the height of summer there are many hidden sandy
coves where you can escape the crowds.
Here are just a few of the jewels in Apulia's crown to whet your
appetite!
Umbra Forest
Situated in the heart of the Gargano National Park not far from
Foggia is the 24,000-acre Umbra Forest. It is a spectacular and
awe-inspiring place to visit. Beech trees in the forest are
seven hundred years old. Visitors will find 14 marked routes
across the forest, many having boards and marker posts to guide
the way. Look out for an array
of exotic birds and wildflowers.
Guides to the type of wildlife that can be found within the
forest are available at the visitor centres in the National Park.
Castel de Monte
Situated near the regional capital of Bari is the most fabulous
castle in Europe - Castel de Monte. Built in the 13th century it
is famed for its precisely engineered octagonal shape and the
eight 25-metre octagonal towers that line its exterior.
The Caverns of Castellana Grotte
The small town of Castellana Grotte not far from Putignano is
home to a complex of karst caves. You can join a tour that will
take you through the cave chambers, allowing you to marvel at
giant stalactites and stalagmites.
