With approximately 800km of coastline and surrounded by two seas, Puglia is one of the longest regions of Italy. The distance between the northernmost town and the Salento region in the south is about 400 km.
The biggest cities, such as Bari and Lecce, are well-connected to each other by train but smaller towns are not efficiently connected. Public transportation isn’t really the best option when travelling through Puglia as the different routes and must see places don’t connect efficiently. Puglia consists of many small picturesque villages and towns that are spread out all over the region and are far away from the biggest cities. The best solution to not miss the highlights of Puglia is to travel by car.
If you don’t feel like driving for several hours through the small, narrow roads typical of the area but you still don’t want to miss the best panoramic routes, you should book a personal driver. You won’t need to worry about parking and driving stress; instead, you’ll be able to admire the amazing views and you’ll enjoy your free time to its fullest.
