The Biggest Mistakes Travelers Make When Visiting Puglia


Listen Later

Planning a trip to Puglia may seem straightforward at first, but once you begin building your itinerary, the decisions quickly become far more complex. Where should you stay? Do you need one base or several? Is Alberobello worth staying in? Can you explore Puglia without a car? And how much time do you really need to experience the region properly?

In this episode, I share the biggest mistakes I repeatedly see travelers make when planning a Puglia itinerary. After living in Italy for more than a decade, and running a travel agency where my team designs countless bespoke journeys across the country, I’ve learned that the success of a trip rarely depends on how many places you visit - It depends on how thoughtfully your itinerary is structured.

I explain why Puglia deserves to be treated as a destination rather than a quick addition to an Italy itinerary, how to choose the right bases for exploring Valle d'Itria and Salento, why constantly changing hotels often diminishes the experience, and whether renting a car is truly necessary for discovering the region. I also share the approach we use for the clients of my travel agency when designing luxury Puglia itineraries that balance exploration with the slower rhythm of life that makes Southern Italy so special.

Whether you're planning your first Puglia itinerary, searching for the best places to stay in Puglia, or wondering how to experience the region beyond the typical tourist route, this episode will help you avoid common planning mistakes and create a journey that feels seamless, balanced, and truly unforgettable.
