Puglia Seaside Hotels

Bari is the capital and largest city in Puglia, with a metro population of 500,000 people. The city was built on a peninsula and has a lovely old quarter, with attractions such as the Basilica of Saint Nicola and Cathedral of St. Sabinus. Lecce is an historic town with 95,000 people and a superb array of ancient ruins and Baroque landmarks. Ostuni is a popular resort town on the coast, with shimmering white-washed houses and buildings perched on a hillside. Known as "La Città Bianca", Ostuni teems with tourists during the busy summer season, much like the rest of Puglia's coast.
