Puglia

puglia travel guide
Puglia constitutes the heel of the boot represented by peninsular Italy. The "trulli" of Alberobello, the Gargano peninsula and the Eastern atmosphere of the mercantile cities define the portrait of an ancient territory, marked both by the architecture of its churches and of its castles, which are scattered throughout the western region.

» Tuscany meetings -Tuscany, with its towns with museums, cathedrals, historical buildings, streets, towns like Florence, Siena, Pisa and more.
» florence meetings - Florence keeps an exceptional artistic heritage which is a marvellous evidence of its aged culture.
» Rome meetings -The eternal city of Rome, constructed of ruins and in whose name the Caesars sought to claim the world, opens for the visitor as a living museum.

» Venezia meetings -Visit Venezia (Veneto, Italy). Come to see its most beautiful places, its architecture, its people, everything. See the Duomo, Channels, Gran Canale, Fenize, Guggenheim, Accademia...
» Liguria meetings -Liguria is a land of contrasts, home to belle Epoque seaside resort towns in the style of Cannes and Monaco; dozens and dozens of sandy strands, rocky coves and pebbly beaches; the country's largest commercial port and largest naval port; some of its most desolate stretches of coast, where lush forests of lemon trees, herbs, flowers, almonds and pines send forth heady sweet-smelling breezes; terraced hillsides that produce an olive oil considered more delicate than those grown in Tuscany.
» Riviera meetings -Five miles of rocky coast in eastern Liguria, two promontories lie at each extremity, thousands of kilometres of dry walling, cultivated into vineyards, five southerly villages castled up on spurs of stone or disposed in clusters of very small inlets. These are the coordinates of the Cinque Terre (Five Lands).
» Portofino meetings -Portofino. One of the largest floristic concentrations in the Mediterranean area, a considerable variety of birds and invertebrates, important architectonic elements, and the best-known scenario in the world.
» Bologna meetings -After Venice, the city is one of the best looking in the country. The city centre is startlingly medieval in plan, a jumble of red brick, tiled roofs and balconies radiating out from the great central square of Piazza Maggiore. There are enough monuments and curiosities for several days' leisured exploration, but Bologna is really enjoyable just for itself.
» Milan meetings -In some ways, Milan (Milano) has more in common with Paris or London than with other Italian cities. It's a business-like city with a work-hard, play-hard ethos. Rome may be the capital and the seat of government, but Milan is the business heart of Italy, the place where deals are made.
» Turin meetings -"Do you know Turin?" asked Nietzsche. "It is a city after my own heart... a princely residence of the seventeenth century, which has only one taste giving commands to everything, the court and its nobility. Aristocratic calm is preserved in everything; there are no nasty suburbs."
» Sicily meetings -Historical crossroad for maritime trade in the Mediterranean, Sicily maintains a large artistic and cultural patrimony, with contributions by foreign dominators over the centuries. The region is also rich in natural beauties, from the beaches of Taormina to the Gulf of Castellammare near Etna, a still-active volcano.
» Calabria meetings -Top destinations in Calabria: Praia, Paola, Amantea, Pizzo, Tropea, Capo Vaticano, Bagnara Calabra, Scilla, Bovalino, Roccella Ionica, Copanello, Soverato, Capo Rizzuto, Ciro' Marina and Marina di Amendolara on the Costa dei Gelsomini.
» Puglia meetings -Italy's southeasternmost region, the "heel" of the boot, is bordered by both the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, giving it one of the longest coastlines of any region in Italy. It is largely untouched by tourists, with the exception of those passing through to take the ferry to Greece, or the Northern Italians who come in the summer to enjoy the beaches.
» Amalfi Coast meetings -Amalfi is the principal jewel of the famous Amalfi Coast in Campania, Italy. The largest and most popular resort on this mountainous stretch of coastline, Amalfi is a popular holiday base for tourists wanting to explore the area.

» Naples meetings -Naples Area Guide to help find hotels, villas, real estate, apartments, itineraries and much more.
» Positano meetings -Positano was once part of the powerful Republic of Amalfi, and played its part in international trading despite the lack of a harbour. Surviving Saracen raids, the town thrived and in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries was famous for its trading with the East. Impressive palazzi were built; several are now romantically crumbling, others have been converted into luxury hotels. With the onset of the industrial revolution, harbourless Positano could not compete with rival ports, and had to wait until the birth of the tourist industry to regain its wealthy status.

» Umbria meetings -Pastoral, hilly, and fertile, Umbria is similar to Tuscany, but with fewer tourists. Its once-fortified network of hill towns is among the most charming in Italy. Crafted from millions of tons of gray-brown rocks, each town is a testament to the masonry and architectural skills of many generations of craftsmen.
