Ceglie Messapica
In the heart of the Itria Valley, in the province of Brindisi, stands one of the oldest villages in Puglia, Ceglie Messapica. From the small town you can enjoy not only the evocative views of the Apulian countryside and the architectural wonders but also the true Apulian cuisine which here, in the characteristic restaurants with their outdoor tables, finds its greatest achievement. A few steps from the central square stands the ancient Ducal Castle, a medieval defensive structure of the ancient city, an appointment with history that you cannot overlook, while for gastronomy enthusiasts we recommend the “panino” and the “biscuit” Cegliese, 2 must of local street food.
Ostuni
Picturesque and waiting to be discovered is Ostuni, the White City. A wonderful medieval village full of narrow streets and whitewashed houses. A walk in the old town offers picturesque views of alleys, steep stairways, squares, shops, restaurants and typical shops.

Alberobello, famous for its ancient trulli, is one of the most popular places in Puglia. The architectural uniqueness and historical importance of this place make it an unmissable destination, recognized by Unesco as a World Heritage Site.
