Puglia trumps Tuscany in terms of tourism. The British Sunday Times wrote an article that highlights the rise of tourism for destinations of Puglia in the first three months of 2014. “Puglia, Italyâs sun-drenched heel, has long been a well-kept secret. Jutting into the translucent turquoise waters of the Adriatic and Ionian seas, it is a region of breathtaking seascapes and silvery carpets of olive groves, of whitewashed hilltop towns and locals hawking plump vine-ripened tomatoes and homemade olive oil in the noisy bustle of the weekly markets”, the Sunday Times says.
Puglia is “cheaper and warmer” than the most well-known Tuscany, so the ideal place where to buy a house, a farm or a typical trullo.
