Italy - Puglia, Basilicata & Calabria
This is a land of drying washing on weather-worn balconies, speeding scooters and dilapidated centro storicos (historic centres) that haven’t yet qualified for a Unesco listing. Though the south’s more down-to-earth cities lack the extensive tourist infrastructure of northern Italy, there’s prettiness amid the grittiness.
- marvel at otherworldly sassi (cave dwellings) and the ancient history of Matera
- sample the wonderful simplicity of Puglia’s cucina povera in the trattorias of Bari
- search for early morning photo ops around the cream-coloured lanes and expansive beaches of Vieste
