Hotels in Apulia Coast, Italy

Apulia stretches along southern Italy's Adriatic and Ionian coasts, famous for its whitewashed trulli houses, ancient olive groves, and dramatic cliffside towns like Polignano a Mare. The climate is Mediterranean with hot, dry summers averaging 86 F (30 C) perfect for swimming in the clear Adriatic Sea or sailing from the Gargano Peninsula, while mild winters around 50 F (10 C) invite you to explore the baroque architecture of Lecce or hike the forested trails of the Alta Murgia National Park. In spring, you can cycle through the Itria Valley's vineyards, and in fall, join the olive harvest in Salento, where you can also taste fresh extra-virgin oil at local farms.
