The 5 Best Coastal Towns in Puglia

One thing about me is that I am in love with the sea. Nothing brings me more calm or peace of mind than taking a walk along the beach or going for a swim on a hot summer day. And if you combine that with a historic town and good food, well, you have me completely over the moon.

At the beginning of November, I left my little station in Rome and went on a family trip to Puglia, a region in the south of Italy that forms the heel of the boot. Puglia is special because it has coastal towns on two different seas: the Adriatic and the Ionian. So in just one region, you can admire two incredibly beautiful coastlines.

In this blog post, I will tell you all about the most stunning coastal towns in Puglia, both on the eastern and the southwestern coast. If you are a sea lover like me (or a history one, or a food one, or honestly just an Italy person in general), these towns are absolutely worth visiting.

One of my favourite towns we visited in Puglia is Lecce, a city that is more than two thousand years old and famous for its rich baroque architecture. In this blog post, I will tell you what to see in Lecce, so I can hopefully convince you to put this beautiful town on your Puglia itinerary.

Day Trip from Rome: What to See in Anguillara Sabazia

By now, I think we all know that I am a big fan of day trips. There is a lot to see and do in Rome (probably more than you can fit into a lifetime), but sometimes it is nice to escape the city for a bit, to a place close by where you can breathe fresh air and let your mind roam free.

Today I will take you with me to Anguillara Sabazia, a charming town located on Lago di Bracciano, about 30 km from Rome. If you want to know everything from a bit of history to how to get there, you are in the right place.
