Planning a trip to Puglia? Before you finalize your itinerary, it's worth challenging a few common assumptions about this extraordinary region. In this second episode of my two-part Puglia series, I explore the misconceptions that often prevent travelers from discovering the true character of one of Southern Italy’s most captivating destinations.
I share the biggest misconceptions I see time and time again - from believing Alberobello is the main attraction to thinking Puglia is only about beaches or that the best experiences can be booked after you arrive. I explain why the region is best discovered through its food, wine, family-run masserie, local traditions, and immersive experiences that reveal a side of Puglia many visitors never get to see.
I also talk about why comparing Puglia to the Amalfi Coast often leads to disappointment, and how embracing its slower pace, rural beauty, and authentic character transforms the entire journey. Whether you're planning your first Puglia itinerary or looking to experience Southern Italy beyond the typical tourist trail, this episode will help you see Puglia through a completely different lens and understand why so many travelers return home wishing they had experienced more of its true essence.
