I have spent years living in what we call the “alto Salento” part of Puglia, which means the upper part. Puglia is a very big region, full of little towns to discover and I made it my mission, this past summer, to start exploring some of what was situated further south.

The Salento coastline in Puglia has also been given the nickname of the “Italian Maldives.” Why? Crystal clear waters, warm like a bath, super shallow for miles, no waves and completely dreamy.
