What's Puglia to some and Apulia to others was once just Latin to me. I surprised myself by even knowing that it was in Italy though I had no idea why I knew. In this country of infinite charms, renowned destinations and undisputed attractions, Puglia understandably tends to get sidelined. Yet it richly deserv𒊎es attention, for the grape here is as tender, the olive as luscious, the oil as virgin, the masseria as solid, the trullo's roof as conical, the sea as blue as tꦯhe sky is enduring. And you won't have to share it with as many people. A trip to is not quite plunging into mysterious, uncharted territory but it's unhampered by expectations - other than the anticipation of superlative - this is , after all I was not disappointed.
