We have been spoilt for choice of places to visit in Puglia, it all looks wonderful, the buildings, the food, and the history of it all. As ever your videos really informative.

[@MemorySeekers]

So nice of you

I miss Lecce where I lived for almost 2 yrs during 2018 and 19 :D

[@MemorySeekers]

Lovely place hope you enjoyed the memories

[@kungbtram]

@@MemorySeekers I lived there almost 2 yrs. The fact id I am from Thailand and your vlog has a subtitle in Thai language. wow :D

[@sabellasolenaldob806]

❤🎉In Puglia, the foods are truly one of the best; fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese, and many more. The history, the place itself, is incredibly wow! Unforgettably wonderful experience my eating there in different places of Puglia. One was in Lecce.

[@pauldepaola3266]

Another well done video. Thanks

[@MemorySeekers]

Cheers glad you liked it, and thanks for subscribing.

[@markwoods1504]

I have friends in Lecce and have visited the city many times over the years but each time it's just like I'm visiting for the for first time time. While you're in Lecce a trip out to coast is a good idea only 10 mins away and there's some fantastic fish restaurants there.

[@SharonHerring]

Such a well shot video, so relaxing and informative.

[@CiaobellaAmour]

Very nice! Here in Ostuni & planning on heading to Leece for Christmas weekend...we shall see🥰❤🤗

[@MemorySeekers]

Oh hope you do, Leece is beautiful and I am sure very festive this time of year. Have fun!

[@CiaobellaAmour]

@@itakarerio2821 you'll like Lecce❤🥰

[@douglasrove2768]

Excellent video! We’re taking our first trip to Puglia and Lecce is on our list. After seeing your video, I have a much better idea about Lecce. The hotel, Torre del Parco looks beautiful. Again great video, and I’ll check out your channel further. All the best!

[@MemorySeekers]

Great to hear you are planning trip. So glad you have found the videos helpful. Have a great time.

[@plushannah]

i really enjoyed that video, going there very soon so this one is great teasing video. thank you

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you, hope you have a lovely trip its a wonderful place.

[@TravelingisFREEDOM]

This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!

[@jayr.617]

Simon, we can tell you like pastries. You always visit the bakeries and do really close up shots of the “Scrumptious” delights! Yummy!

[@MemorySeekers]

Oh yes, you are not wrong! 😆

[@markvanston2574]

Greetings from USA. In May of 2020 myself and my wife were supposed to start our tour of Solento in Lecce. COVID put a stop to that! Know that it’s over we will be heading out on August 27th. Great video! We found it very helpful. Loved the hotel, it was where we were booked in 2020. Unfortunately it’s unavailable this year. Thanks for the tips and thanks again for the video.

[@MemorySeekers]

Such a shame the hotel is booked out. Still there are plenty of wonderful hotels. Its a gorgeous place i hope you have a fantastic time and our tips help you out.

[@garystevens7413]

Great video and it's now on my future shopping list of places to go. I always enjoy searching out places not popularly known, so thank you for bringing this to my attention. All the best Will and Simon.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thanks Gary hope you make there!

[@spectrumwalkingtours]

Great series, can't wait to see where you go next.

[@ritagrechi2663]

the food. the people. all all the best

[@MemorySeekers]

Love Lecce!

[@robertor.7319]

It's simply the best place on earth :)

[@raffaelloschirinzi2072]

Nice video on the beautiful city of Lecce❤️ I highly recommend visiting Lecce by night as the light and the atmosphere is special. PS : Lecce is not the capital of Puglia... but the capital of the sub-region "Salento". The capital of Puglia is Bari😉

[@MemorySeekers]

Yes indeed someone else corrected me on Bari being the Capital. Silly mistake!

[@straya52]

Only found your channel recently and do like the way you both present your videos. The commentary is very informative and your style of filming is easy to watch. The town of Lecce looks like one not to miss, especially if you can stay in the hotel where you did. Bellissimo!!!! We have visited Italy twice, from Australia, but unfortunately never had the time to visit the deep south. Have subscribed so keep up your good work, thanks.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you for joining us and glad you enjoyed our Italian tour in Puglia. It was a wonderful trip and we were so lucky to get there during the pandemic. Leece is a superb place as was the hotel. The people are so friendly and the food in excellent. I hope you do make it to the region and can enjoy what we did. Best regards.

[@Carmen-i7m6y]

Thanks warmer

[@mariachiara8136]

The old monastery is near the cementery, however now houses some University classrooms and Professors' offices. I used to go to study there. However there are some guided tours during summer!

[@jo-annh.olmstead4168]

I'm finally planning to travel again and have always wanted to go to Puglia, so I've enjoyed many of your videos very much, thank you. I do have a few questions that I hope you can help me with. I will be arriving into Rome, then planning to get to the east coast by public transportation -- probably fly directly to either Bari or Brindisi and use one of those as a home base. I won't be renting a car as I am traveling solo and don't want to deal with one. I plan to stay in hotels, not B&B's for the same reason. So I'm hoping that public transportation will work out well. I'll stick to the east coastline. I have 15 days for sightseeing. Would like to see Lecce and Otranto, Monopoli, maybe Train, Grottaglie and Vieste if possible. I'd like to settle into one town for 3-4 days and do day trips from there. It seems that Bari &/or Brindisi or Lecce make the most sense as a home base -- do you agree? Then fly back to Rome from ? I really really appreciate your input --- thanks so much for all of your fun and interesting videos -- giving printed info on the screen is especially helpful!

[@MemorySeekers]

Hello, as you know we used a rental car mostly for our travels. The trains seemed to work well and pretty cheap. We only used the train between Monopoli and Polignano. I believe they have buses too. I would Leece could be a good base just because without a car it’s easy to get around and lots to see. We never stayed in Brindisi or Bari so cannot say how good they would be. One thing you could do is find a place you want to stay then before booking message them and ask about trips etc from there. I am sure they can give you advise. Flying in from Rome either airport is good, I guess it depends on price and flight times that suit you. Brindisi would be my preference as it’s right in the middle. Hope that helps. Have fun!

[@jo-annh.olmstead4168]

@@MemorySeekers Thanks for your prompt reply. Am getting a bit more info and making some headway each day. The planning is generally part of the fun of the trip! I'm rethinking the trip and may now stay in Monopoli for half the time and Lecce the other half and take day trips from there. I'll check out your videos again on Bari and Brindisi -- may only fly into Brindisi and not stay too long. I see that you've done a lot of videos on the UK -- maybe that and Greece (my first love) will be revisited soon! Thanks again for your generous spirit.

Welcome 😊

I just watched this video. It made me want to go there right away. Which month did you visit there? It looked very hot.

[@MemorySeekers]

Yes it was very hot this was August 2020

Hi, this was August 2020

[@anneschantl8929]

Dear Memory Seeker, grammar is one of my pet things. There is no “al” on the end of historic used in the context historic centre. Hope I haven’t offended, you are not the only people who do it. Cheers from Australia.

What’s your best place to visit for couples seeking a less touristy holiday with great beaches, good food, in travelling distance of nearby places of interest?

[@TDMoorethanjustORCHIDS]

The stone is Tufa stone..excavated from all over the area

[@MemorySeekers]

Ah very helpful thank you!

[@dojocho1894]

Im a physician newly divorced and am looking to retire in italy I have a few places I am interested in and Lecce is one of them Thanks

[@MemorySeekers]

Good luck with your search and find that place you want to be!

[@Kharmveer]

Lecce

[@ilfotogafia]

Nice informative video except for the "Wine Tasting" bit. The locals depend on tourism for their bread and butter and if you give such advice, there'll be no more wine shops left. Another thing, please find out and say the exact name of the food that you eat. Saying something like wierd shaped pasta etc. is a lame comment. The least you could do in a travel video is provide the EXACT information for the viewers. I can't exactly ask for a wierd shaped pasta there, can I?

[@MemorySeekers]

Yep your right fallen into a trap that gets me as well! What were they eating Noted for future videos 🍲

[@ilfotogafia]

@@MemorySeekers Thank you. Keep travelling and looking forward to more informative videos. :)

Lecce is not the capital of Puglia

You are so right! Bari is, how did I make that mistake! Thanks for the correction.
