Hotels in Apulia Coast, Italy

Apulia Coast stretches along southern Italy's heel, with a Mediterranean climate that brings hot summers perfect for swimming in the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea and mild winters ideal for hiking among the ancient olive groves near Ostuni. This region is famous for its whitewashed hilltop towns like Polignano a Mare, where you can cliff-dive into the blue water in July, and trulli houses in Alberobello that date back to the 14th century. Come in spring (March to May) for bike rides through vineyards and cheaper stays, or in autumn (September to November) to harvest olives and attend local food festivals without the crowds.
