Things to Do in Puglia, Italy

Puglia produces 80 percent of Italy's wine, with vineyards dating to Greek colonization in 700 BC and limestone soils perfect for Mediterranean varieties. The white trulli houses of Alberobello, numbering 1,500, were built using 16th-century dry-stone techniques without mortar, creating a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Gargano Peninsula juts 100 kilometers into the Adriatic and features sea caves accessible by boat from medieval fishing villages.
