easyjet’s UK to Italy flights let you visit Puglia by flying to either Bari or Brindisi, both of which are Puglian airports with picturesque towns and villages of their own.
Getting around Puglia from Bari Airport
If you book flights to Puglia, Italy, that land at Bari Airport, you can reach the centre of Bari easily using public transport, and the city has good connections to some of the most popular spots within Puglia, such as Polignano al Mare. However, much of Puglia’s charm lies in tiny, off-the-beaten track villages- so it may be a good idea to book a hire car or airport taxi. You can also book an airport transfer or catch a bus.
Travelling around Puglia from Brindisi Airport
If your chosen flight lands at Brindisi Airport, you can get to the center of Brindisi within 20 minutes in a taxi or with an airport transfer. The town of Brindisi offers connections to some of the top destinations in Puglia, including Lecce, but hiring a car can offer more freedom.
Things to do and must-see attractions in Puglia
Puglia has many ancient buildings, museums, beaches, pools, caves, and restaurants, as well as olive groves and beaches.
Experience some of the best local cuisines in Puglia
Puglia’s many restaurants serve a range of traditional Southern Italian foods such as Focaccia Barese, Taralli, Caciocavallo, Cartellate, Panzerotti, Melanzane Ripiene (stuffed eggplant), Cozze Araganate (baked mussels), Pasticciotto, and Polpette di Pane (bread fritters). There are also popular seafood restaurants, pizzerias, and eateries that boast panoramic terraces like Casa Ciaccia.
Visit Puglia’s historic landmarks and architecture
If you’re keen to see some of the area’s history and beauty spots, you can visit the 13th-century Castel del Monte and the Basilica San Nicola, take a dip in the clifftop Cave of Poetry pool, trek the summit trail on Gargano mountain, visit the museum at Grotte di Castellana caves, or head to Torre Guaceto nature reserve where there’s also a 16th-century tower.
Indulge and relax at some of Italy’s most beautiful beaches in Puglia
There are some fantastic beaches in Puglia, including Spiaggia della Purita in Gallipoli, Cala dei Pagliai on the Tremiti Islands, Baia delle Zagare in Gargano, Capitolo in Monopoli, Baia dei Turchi in Otranto, Torre Guaceto in Brindisi, Cala Porto in Polignano a Mare, and Marina di Pescoluse in Salento.
