Discover Puglia, Italy
The heel of Italy's boot, Puglia has emerged as a hot destination for its whitewashed towns, trulli cone-roofed houses, Baroque Lecce, and 800 kilometers of coastline. The region's olive oil, orecchiette pasta, and burrata cheese represent southern Italian cuisine at its finest.
