Journey through Puglia

“This is slow travel at its best, through contrasting scenery of sun-soaked olive groves and vineyards, vast red earth plains, and the Adriatic coast. Eclectic architecture from Roman ruins and remarkably detailed Baroque splendour to simple, drystone trulli and ancient cave houses and rock churches. There’s also the option to extend with a stay in a hotel in the remarkable World Heritage site of Matera, the ancient troglodyte city.”

– Kylie Anderson, Inntravel Rail Expert
