Mesmerizing
historical architecture, delicious food, roaming in the historic streets,
beautiful beaches and many other excellent things came in my mind whenever I
thinks about Apulia. Apulia is a region located in the south of Italy. Every
year region is crowded with both national and international tourist. There are
plenty of places and towns to visit in Apulia, however, following are some top
rated towns.

conical roofs called trulli. The Trulli of Alberobello have been designated as

interesting thing to do in Gallipoli. It was first used in 1600 to make olive
