The landscape consists mostly of low hills and plains making it the least mountainous region in Italy. It’s a land of rich archaeological treasures which demonstrate a huge Roman influence in their design.
It can boast of a very large coastline with spectacular beaches like Torre dell Orso and the Riviera of Otranto. The beautiful Tremiti Islands lie just off the coast here and offer lots of exciting water sports to engage in.
The food here is nothing short of divine. Tuck into a steaming bowl of mussel soup or a seafood platter of succulent fresh shellfish and salad washed down with a glass of crisp white wine! Sit back and enjoy the splendid views of the sea as you sip a hot espresso afterwards along with a fine selection of desserts and biscuits.
Be sure to visit San Giovanni Rotondo in Foggia and the monastery where the infamous Saint Padre Pio was afflicted with Stigmata and died years later. His body has been preserved in a specially made glass tomb for visitors to see here!
