What a fantastic series guys!! Italy is a remarkable country and we are so glad that on this particular trip - you decided to film! Your happiness has been contagious and certainly put a smile on our faces. So happy for you guys! Keep the travels coming 😁

I live on the west coast of Sardinia, which hosts one of the most desirable beaches known to the island, Is Arutas. It is a "pebble" beach, not in that it is rocky, but that the sand is little rice shaped/sized grains of quartz! They are smooth, and colorful, and an absolute marvel. Every year, tourists are fined thousands of euros for trying to steal the "sand", it's THAT beautiful! Anyway, after going to a beach where the "sand" just rolls off of your body, I'm spoiled, and despise sandy beaches where everything clings and sticks and gets mucked up into your lotions and oils. Don't hate on pebbly beaches just yet, until you've experienced them all!

[@raheltd]

1) I'm mad enough to prefer pebbles over sand 2) the difference between Frisa and Bruschetta is in the way you prepare and cook/serve the bread 3) Bruschetta's pronunciation for brits: broos-ketta 4) My favourite part of your Italian trip so far was seeing you making pizza

[@TravelBeans]

Thanks Rahel! Making pizza was definitely in my top moments.. So much fun and so tasty!! And thanks for the info! I've definitely been pronouncing bruschetta wrong this entire trip 🤦‍♀️😂 so thanks for the help!

[@RussellChapman99]

Volevo anche dire riguardo la broos-ketta. And I'm not italian.

[@johnc3403]

My favourite part of Italy was getting back to the French Riviera, my favourite Italian meal was that Burger King I had in Naples, The nicest people I met in Italy were Spanish and Pizza is overrated.

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

@@maty68mp thank you! We cannot wait! 😀

[@joeytheq9818]

Have been to Italy several times, but I have always stuck to the large "popular" cities. This series has inspired me to visit (perhaps even trace your route) smaller coastal towns, and not make any plans whatsoever. Thank you for the videos and the entertainment. You both bring something different to the videos.

[@witkofhf]

If you happen to travel in July-August or around Easter, it's better off planning in advance since most places could be fully booked. Out of those periods, I guess you can have a wonderful experience also roaming around without planning much in advance.

[@kirgeek]

thank you for publicising Puglia! my boyfriend and I got there every year (he is italian) and it is the most undiscovered gem of the entire country. i watch these videos when i miss my second home :') thankyou both and safe travels.

[@rachelmatthews3070]

I agree, my boyfriend is actually from the region. I fell in love with it this summer and can't wait to move there to be with him.

[@Diana-lo6cx]

I love this series. I got to go to Italy a few years ago and I want to go back one day. Matera is on my list now! Thank You so much for the video!

[@NomadShifu]

Italy indeed is everything. Such a beautiful place. Puglia, Italy is a perfectly safe choice for one of the best.

[@wayfinderunleashed1576]

I’ve been to Italy for a two-week trip and thought I did a bunch of research before picking our locations but after watching your Italy series I’m questioning if I actually did! Where were all of these beautiful places in my research! Guess I’ll have to go back. Thanks for the videos and recommendations.

[@TimezoneJunkies]

Guys you’ve really made us wanna go to Italy with this series. We’ve only spent a couple of days in Italy on our hitchhiking journey from Thailand to Spain 3 years ago and saw only a tiny bit of the north. Thanks for sharing this 😊

[@martinrosenthal3127]

Sorry for my faulty english. Thank you for your great videos about Apulia. I've always wanted to go to the south of Italy, but couldn't convince my wife. But after seeing your videos about Puglia, she really wants to go on vacation to Polignano. Thanks a lot for this. I'm looking forward to many new videos from you after Corona

[@rosavelez1742]

It’s the only place in the world that hanging laundry looks good! Only in italy😊

[@susannortham11.11]

I've loved all of this series so far and can't wait for more! You could easily imagine you've time traveled to biblical Matera - probably hasn't changed much. Those kinds of places give me chills. And swimming in those ancient ruins, unreal. Then the simple, lovely food with a glass of in the beautiful city center - just can't beat it :)

[@TravelBeans]

Thanks Susan 😊 Italy is such a fun place to travel.. It blows my mind that there were people stood in the same spot as me, thousands of years ago, living their lives..

[@travelertrome8449]

I am absolutely loving this Italy series! So unexpected considering the travel difficulties that are going on right now. I follow several travel vloggers, most of whom are your friends, and I have not seen anybody go to these hidden gems in the southeast of Italy. These places are stunning! And I have never heard of them before now! Bravo Travel Beans, Bravo! 👏👏

[@FayPowell-kk2nl]

Went to the ruins beach today on your recommendation, absolutely loved it. Looking forward to trying more of your beach finds when we head to Salento next week.

[@MeMattStone]

That water is so blue, we’ve been to Venice and Verona but really want to see the rest of the country, it looks so beautiful. From now on Alex when people ask me where I’m from I’ll be telling them “Weston-super-Maaree” 😄

[@antonellamorgese1084]

I enjoyed all video from South. Im Italian from South and Im proud to see in a funny way amazing sightseen of My regione Puglia, and all parts of italy u visited and really appreciated. Tnk for Your Point of view

[@LukeAndersson1]

I never had any interest in going to Italy until now! Swimming in the ruins was too cool. Oh, huge thumbs up on the filming and editing of your videos. Totally top shelf.

[@sheerkhanful]

I don't suppose I could talk the two of you into staying in Italy and covering nothing but places like this for a couple of months? Given the news cycle here in the US currently, you two are a lifeline of sorts. Somewhere out there, there's still the simple pleasure of walking down the street in a beautiful place.

[@kittensmitten4015]

I’ll do it. My husband, best friend & I will be making a 22 day tour of Greece & Italy & would love to cover it & stay.

[@r8edrv4fun65]

I agree. They've taken us to places that you just don't see on TV.

[@davidmorris3089]

Speaking as an American who has been to Polignano a Mare and other wonderful seaside towns in Puglia--I completely agree, and yearn to be able to live in a place like Polignano. Trani, on the other side of Bari, is another amazingly beautiful, medieval coastal town.

[@plotarmour1471]

​@@kittensmitten4015which is more beautiful italy or greece

That so makes me smile :) Next time I'm in Puglia, I'll get a car xx

[@danielbobberson9849]

good advice more than a day in Matera and do include a Cave stay..the place is magical at night. It is so unique. We visited each spot in this video and was struck by the quiet streets...I assume this was during Covid and maybe not long ago judging by the rain? Anyway Puglia is a must see. Thanks for the memories.

[@chrislarosaacupuncture7783]

[@pressrepeat2000]

This is the most fun and also practical travel channel. Good job.

[@francorusso3252]

Frisa is more like a rusk. The frisa gets soften by soaking in salted water before topping with tomatoes, salt, olive oil & oreganum. My grandparents told me that when they were kids taking dry frisas to the beach and use the sea water to soak was very common. Nice video!!! Born and grew up in the places you filmed... grazie

[@ReginaDiCiommo]

I watched the videos with the spectaculars beach cities at Puglia, bu I hadn't see anything about Trani, near Matera, where my italian family live. It us so beautiful too. I had the opportunity to go once to Weston beach at U.K. and is perfectly understandable your astonishing state in Puglia! haha!

[@jonkino]

Do you guys spend your whole life travelling . How!! Amazing places . Thanks for sharing them.

[@momplusfive]

It's all beautiful!

[@donatoegizii2084]

Those places are not “secret”! everyone in Italy knows it and I can’t understand why visitors, especially from the US doesn’t know their existence. Puglia is my region of origin, but all the south of Italy offers paradise beaches, archeological sites, arts, amazing food and beautiful towns where especially in the evening on summer the atmosphere is unique.

[@yoliemarroquin7314]

I think most first time travelers always focus on the major spots like Rome, Florence and Venice. I don't think I have ever met any first time travelers that are willing to skip out of those other major sites for the south of Italy and unfortunately, many will only be able to travel once to Italy. There are so many lovely areas in Italy to see and the south is most definitely a must for us, so after a few years of saying we need to travel there, we finally booked our holiday for next year in June and cannot wait to explore this spectular region. 3 nts in Martina Franca and 3 nts in Lecce. From there, we are heading to Tropea for some relaxing time at the beach.

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Oh we're so glad we found you!! Our plan is to be in Italy later this 2021 (fall) and getting to watch your videos on the places we have on our list.....well, really makes us want to go now!! In love with you guys and looking forward to binge watching your videos! Stay safe and happy travels!

Polignano! I used to live and work there! In the 1980s. My parents had a bodega there for many years. My family still live in Italy - they live in Conversano which is very near to Polignano. Have you been there? Or passed by it? Grotta Palazzese is the restaurant in the cave. I attended a wedding there! I moved back to the states many years ago. Oh the memories - thank you for sharing your adventures in my old stomping ground!!!!

[@2010katak]

I rewatched this video again. This was my first video years ago and it’s quality made me a subscriber. Btw, the cave restaurant reputation appears to be suffering so not a goal as it once was. It would be lovely if you three could do a long, slow Italian visit for a month or so just to do this country justice. We are checking out real estate in Puglia based on this video. Thank you so much.

[@kenwatson7815]

Pebble beach there must surely outdo the Brighton beach UK. complete with lumps of 'tar' mixed in, yes tar, I might be going back a few years but trying to find a spot to lay your towel was a feat in itself.

If you are still in basilicata I suggest you to visit Pietrapertosa, the ghost town of Craco and the Calanchi reserve in Pisticci or Montalbano. If you are in Puglia near Polignano there are the Grotte di Castellana (Castellana caves), you cant miss it.
