Summer Trip to Italy and Discovering the Magic of Ancient Bari and Apulia Region, Part 1

Bari, the capital of the Apulia region in Italy, sits gracefully on the Adriatic Sea. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning coastal views, Bari invites you to explore its hidden gems. Wander through the ancient streets of the old town, where the Basilica of Saint Nicholas and the Cathedral of San Sabino stand as testaments to its past. Don’t miss the Norman-Swabian Castle, and local women selling hand made orecchiette pasta.
Bari’s charming Old Town, known as “Bari Vecchia,” is a delightful maze of narrow streets and historic squares. Step into the enchanting labyrinth of Bari Vecchia, where narrow alleys wind past ancient stone buildings, vibrant markets, small boutiques and cozy cafés. Discover old buildings, ancient and modern streets and the scent of freshly baked focaccia lingering in the air.
Beyond the historic core lies the modern heart of Bari - the Murat quarter. Here, a rectangular grid-plan unfolds, with a seafront promenade and bustling shopping districts.
Join me on this immersive journey through the history, culture, Bari and Alberobello cities, discovering the enchanting Apulia region with olive trees, whitewashed villages, and sun-kissed beaches. 🌅🌿🇮🇹
