Holidays in Italy are usually associated with a large family trip, worn out holiday T-shirts, lying on the beach and consuming large amounts of pizza and wine. And good! However, what should we do if we would like to visit sunny Italy "in style", without losing the opportunity to get to know, apart from the big cities, also the idyllic provinces? Well, then it is worth choosing joyful Puglia - one of the most unique regions of this country. Puglia has been attracting tens of thousands of tourists for years - located at the very tip (the famous "heel") of Italy, it represents all that is best - plenty of sun, elegant resorts with wide, sandy beaches and tiny towns and villages full of surprising architecture. In addition, Puglia is described as a "stylish" region - elegant architecture, refined rich cuisine and culture adhering to the "dolce vita" principle create a wonderful mixture here.

Standing at the "end of the world"

A trip to Puglia will be a unique experience for everyone. It is worth starting in Bari , the capital of the region, a city with a unique atmosphere. For hundreds of years it was one of the most important and richest ports in Europe - today its splendor can be admired, among others, in Bari Vecchio , or "Old Bari". Narrow streets and tenement houses of rich guilds and merchant families rising next to each other, or the gold-shining ceiling of the magnificent St. Peter's Basilica. Nicholas are silent witnesses of local history. In Bari, it is worth breathing deeply the fresh sea air - preferably walking along the seaside boulevard towards the setting sun. At the end we will find the mighty Fort St. Anthony - formerly protecting the inhabitants of Bari, today an elegant and extremely popular art gallery.

From the capital of the region, it is worth going to Foggia - a small town where you can get to know the real, traditional food of Puglia . Yes, this is where the best olives, grapes and the world-famous mozzarella di bufala come from, which tastes best on traditional, crispy pizza. The next step is the magical, spectacularly located town of Ostuni , with hundreds of white houses almost hanging on a rock cliff with sea waves crashing against it. The city, built on a hill, is dominated by the huge cathedral, and beneath it are kilometers of narrow, steep streets dating back to the times of ancient rulers. At the end of your holiday in Puglia, you must explore the rich and surprising world of the local province. The best – in Alberobello, the famous "white village". Anyone who sees the local clay houses in the form of a rotunda – trulli will certainly dream of taking one of them with them!

Italian holidays on Lake Garda
Are you planning a family vacation in Italy? Or maybe you are looking for a place in Italy for a romantic motorhome trip for two? Today we recommend and introduce you to the northern part of the country, in particular the picturesquely situated Lake Garda. The reservoir in the Veneto region, or Veneto, is a unique place that will provide an unforgettable experience to everyone, regardless of age. We invite you to read the practical guide!. Lago di Garda is the largest lake in Italy, whose unique beauty is determined by its phenomenal location among mountain slopes. The water is also unique in it, because it is the cleanest in the country and with a color reminiscent of the waters of the Adriatic Sea. Surrounded, typically Italian towns - with narrow streets and panoramic terraces in restaurants serving flagship Italian cuisine complete the image of the region. Its popularity is also due to the ideal climate, conducive to water baths. Interesting stops around the shores of the lake are towns such as Riva del Garda, Navene, Malcesine, Brenzone sul Garda, Sirmione and Torbole. Almost all of them have access to their own free beach with a gentle slope into the water. You can spice up your vacation in Veneto with short trips to nearby cities known in the region. We especially recommend you a trip to Verona , which owes its fame to Shakespeare's work - Romeo and Juliet. In the city, you will find many book marks, including the famous Juliet's house and a balcony where one of the scenes took place. You can also go to Padua, where you will find such monuments as the Palazzo del Bo, the Basilica of St. Antoni or Prato della Valle. During your vacation in Italy, you can go to Venice. This city does not need to be introduced to tourists - the dense network of canals with characteristic gondolas, the Venetian carnival with richly decorated masks and the film festival taking place during the summer holidays are just a few of the excuses to visit the city on the water.
