Apulia


One of the most beautiful South Italy Region and with the best pristine and natural beaches, is the  Apulia Region. The marine towns reveal their charms hidden in historic buildings and alleys, where night life, cultural events, the enchantment of art and the taste of food, form the backdrop of one of the most beautiful and cleanest seas in Italy. Marinas, ports and berthing points allow you to live the holiday aboard on comfortable boats.
Puglia, a land of conquest. Castles,  masterpieces of architecture, including Castel del Monte, a UNESCO world heritage, and the sighting of Saracen towers on the southern coast.
Puglia land of art. The cities and small villages host  noble palaces, artistic expression of Romanesque and Baroque style.
Puglia land of faith. Cathedrals, Basilicas and sanctuaries testify an artistic evolution influenced by different dominations and lordships. They often keep relics and mortal remains which make them important destinations for pilgrimage. Faith brings pilgrims to Monte S.Michele, S. Giovanni Rotondo and to the Byzantine Basilica of Bari where the mortal remains of city patron St. Nicholas can be found.
Puglia, a land of flavors and fragrances. With their mastery, bakers, dairymen, and farmers turn land fruits into products that owe their rich flavors and fragrances to their simpleness. One cannot leave Apulia without tasting Altamura bread, widely renowned thanks to its unmistakable taste and yellow color derived from wheat flour. Aleatico, Primitivo di Manduria and Negroamaro wines represent the glory of a qualified, world-famous winemaking tradition.5 PDO oils coming from magnificent, centuries-old Apulian olive trees and bringing out the flavors of typical regional dishes.
It should also be remembered that Apulia boasts its own current architectural called 'Barocco Leccese', and characterized by highly decorative carvings that cover the churches and palaces surface . This style reaches its peak in the delightful city of Lecce, destination wedding by  couples that love the art of Lecce. Finally we must mention one of the best attractions offered by this region: the Trulli. White cone-like constructions made of stone and held together without the aid of mortar. They are at their most picturesque when clustered together in hundreds to form a town. Particularly famous is the village of  Alberobello, a wonderful and unforgettable place, a fairy-tale setting  to get married and for a memorable wedding photos  tour. For your wedding in Apulia you will have a great choice: the beautiful town of Ostuni, known as the “white city”, because of the characteristic white walls of the houses in the old town; Gallipoli  the marina town on the west coast of the Salento peninsula;  Lecce, with its baroque style; Otranto a colony of the Magna Graecia; Santa Maria di Leuca, called also “Finis Terre” precious jewel of  Salento and known for the "Head" city that divides the Ionian Sea and the Adriatic sea; Rodi Garganico, the Gargano pearl, a delicious town on the Gargano park.
