And yet \u2013 or perhaps precisely because of that \u2013 it\u2019s well worth a visit. Nowhere else can you see so many trulli: the cone-shaped stone huts with their pointed roofs, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages and which are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rione Monti hill, with its roughly 1,000 trulli, is one of Apulia\u2019s most famous sights. Inside these small stone houses, it remains pleasantly cool even in the height of summer. Many trulli can now be booked as accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who know it rave about it; those who don\u2019t simply drive past it. A mistake. The old town is a Baroque gem: magnificent fa\u00e7ades, balconies with wrought-iron railings, piazzas where time seems to pass a little more slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to food and drink, Martina Franca is renowned for its Capocollo, an air-dried sausage from the region, and for Locorotondo DOC, a fresh white wine best enjoyed in one of the shaded piazzas. Thanks to its location, Martina Franca is an ideal base for a trip around Apulia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone wanting to go to the beach in Apulia \u2013 and you really should \u2013 should Porto Cesareo<\/a> Take a look. This small village on the southern coast of Apulia is situated within a marine nature reserve: the water is exceptionally clean, shallow and a shade of blue-green usually associated with the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe sandy beaches to the south of the town \u2013 Punta Prosciutto, Torre Lapillo, Lido Conchiglie \u2013 are wide, with fine sand, and almost deserted in early summer or September. In the height of summer, it gets busier here too, but the facilities are excellent: small beach bars, fresh seafood in the trattorias, and boats sailing out to the offshore islands. Porto Cesareo isn\u2019t a place for major attractions \u2013 it\u2019s a place to go for a swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
