	Puglia lies in the topographical “heel of the boot”, the southwestern point on Italy’s peninsula. The region’s trulli, small, conical stone dwellings, are perhaps its most enduring image. Bari, the region’s capital, and Brindisi both offer beautiful beaches, while Otranto, with its original Byzantine church, and Lecce, a Baroque city of yellow sandstone, boast historical architecture. With its acres of protected woodland, Puglia is also a nature lover’s paradise. Hundreds of animal species, including many exotic birds, call the region home. A relatively flat region, Puglia is the perfect place to explore by bicycle while staying in a luxury vacation rental villa. Olives and almonds are central to Pugliese cuisine and agriculture. About one-third of the olive oil produced in Italy comes from Puglia. The warm summer sun produces beautiful fruits and vegetables. Along the coast, the seafood is fresh and plentiful.
