Capisco poco l' inglese, ma capisco molto bene il tuo entusiasmo per la nostra Puglia. Grazie mille
Amo Puglia. Grazie
If visiting Matera, my top tip is not only to walk around the "Sassi", but cross the canyon, known as a "gravina", to hike around the caves and ancient rock hewn churches. People have been living hete for around 7000 years (yes, that long).
Omg Gregor..I had to pause watching because it was making me hungry 😂😂 Puglia is beautiful…definitely gotta put it on my list.
I'm glad I made you hunger for this region because there's so much to discover there and it's laid back and great for taking a couple weeks of vacation
I am from Copertino (Lecce) I live in America and have been to many beaches here but nothing beats the Salento beaches everyone should visit nice video thanks for sharing.
Great advice. Thank you for sharing
Is it true that the Salento area is cooler than other parts of Puglia? If I go in the summer, what city in Salento do you recommend?
@@RoRoRo862 it's actually same if even hotter.
Weather in South Italy is commonly hot (from 30 to 40 degrees Celsius) in Summer and Salento (where I live) is also wet so if you want to avoid all that you should better go from end September to end May.
Cities to visit depends on your interests? Sightviews? Monuments?
@@Cr4z33_YT Cultural activities, public transportation and good healthcare for us seniors.
Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm delighted you enjoyed my homeland, and it made me feel somewhat nostalgic seeing you visiting the places where I used to spend my holidays when I was a kid.
I was especially glad to see you stayed in Cisternino: Valle d'Itria, the inland countryside area with Alberobello, Locorotondo, Martina Franca, that stretches down south-east until Ostuni, it's for me the best of Puglia, leaving out the accommodation costs.
I'm from Bari, been living in Munich for the last six years. I guess I will never spend my summer holidays back home in Puglia again. I will never contribute to the exploitation of the coastline, with prices going off the charts, season after season, for a laughable level of services.
We have a long way to go and a lot to learn when it comes to tourism entrepreneurial attitude. Our neighbours from across the sea, Albania and Ionian Greece, have been doing a much better job, and I'm more than happy to bring my money over there, where I don't feel ripped off as a tourist.
Puglia es lo más!
Thank you for your videos. I went in November 2023, and will be going back in May. Beautiful people!
It's great to hear that you enjoyed your trip and are planning another visit! The beauty of the place and its people really does call you back. Enjoy your next journey! 🌴🇮🇹
Thank you for this look at Puglia and Matera. You really showed the best this region has to offer. I’ve visited the area twice and still discovering new places.
Yes I'm the same way I want to return and discover more
Fantastic video!
I saw my house at 22:01! Thanks so much! Grazie per questa bella dedica!
Where was that?
@@GregorBrown Bari, the city.
Ah, thanks for letting me know :)
@@GregorBrown 🥰🥰
Your 1st wine tasting place looked like you were not sipping but drinking. Must have been delicious.
It was
Good video, BUT you should've also pushed yourself further south in the Province of Lecce. Lecce itself is a beautiful city with its own style of baroque, which gave the city the name "Firenze del Sud", the "Florence of the south".
Also plenty of food and wine to taste in that area, wine is particularly good around Salice Salentino and Leverano.
There is also the native city of the pasticciotto you had in Bari, which is Galatina. Pasticceria Ascalone is probably the best place to eat them, but there are plenty of places in Lecce where you can eat amazing ones too (Franchini and Alvino for example).
There is also the rustico which is a puff pastry with bechamel, mozzarella and tomatoes. You can eat amazing ones at Cotognata Leccese in Lecce near the Castello di Carlo Quinto, which also has amazing cotognata, a kind of sweet made with mele cotogne (a particular kind of apple).
There are plenty of more gourmet restaurants where you can eat, like Tre Rane and Gimmi in Lecce, Cosimo Russo in Leverano.
I could go on and on and on about the amazing food you can find in the area, but the comment would get waaaayy too long ahahah
There is also Otranto, Torre dell'Orso, Porto Cesareo, Santa Cesarea Terme, Punta Prosciutto, Santa Maria di Leuca, Santa Caterina, Santa Maria al Bagno, Porto Selvaggio and a lot of other amazing places for both beaches and sightseeing. Let's not forget Gallipoli, which becomes uninhabitable in the summer, but is a gorgeous place to visit in the off season.
Hopefully you can make another video someday as you go further down the amazing Region of Puglia.
Oh I love all these suggestions and believe me I wish I could have stayed longer during that trip but that was all the time that I had and I had to pick one area to concentrate on but I have been all around Puglia on other occasions and then to all of these locations it's just I wasn't filming at the time and believe me I really think that this is one of those regions well I should say it is probably the best region with Sicily for vacation in Italy
@@GregorBrown Oh yeah, I completely understand. This was more of a comment for anyone who comes in to watch the video in the future and may be interested in going further south, it was obviously not a critique of your video which in itself was very good.
Being from Lecce myself I just couldn't keep myself from giving some recommendations ahahahah
@@andreag23900 thank you for helping out the community here
@@andreag23900 thx! I m there for that. Graize mille! I want stay at bari to visit the coast, like monopolie, Lecce and… is it a good choice?👍
@@ubertreiber1288 visiting down south sure is a great choice, but if you want to explore the province of Lecce I recommend you stay in Lecce at least. Bari is too far away to do a lot of stuff in the province.
For example: Santa Maria Di Leuca, the southernmost tip of the province, is 1h+ away by car from Lecce.. plus 1.5h from Bari to Lecce.. I’ll let you do the math
A lot of places in the province are not really easy to reach and take 30/40 minutes to reach
Great video…Puglia on my list now❤
Going to spend 1 week in Pulgia in September. We are arriving to Brindisi. Thanks for all your informative videos. Currently planning our adventure and your content is really helpful to prioritise where to go.
My pleasure 😊
Incredible and magnificent !
Fantastic clip, my friend, loved it. Definitely want to check out this area now.
So glad to have found this video. Heading to Puglia soon for an event, but with no knowledge of the region I turned to TH-cam. Every other video has been too chatty, too slow paced focusing in small details too long, not visually exciting or PBS educational styled just overall unexciting. This video became my turn around point! I'm finally looking forward to my trip. So much great info and value packed in here presented at a great pace, relevant comments, visually stunning and entertaining. Great video!! I took notes on everything.
Thankful for this long and thoughtful comment and I hope you gained a lot out of this and I hope also you enjoyed my passion for traveling and that encourages you to go out and do the same
@@GregorBrown definitely 😍
Agree! Will be visiting Puglia in June '24, celebrqating a friend's bday with 30 odd friends... This vid is a great starter to plan some trips around Castello Grotto (where the party will be)
Bellissimo video complimenti 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
GRAZIE! 😎
Prego 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great stuff! Appreciate the info, we are heading to Pulia in late April, 2024. Can't wait!!
I'm thrilled to hear you're heading to Puglia! Late April is a great time to visit. Enjoy the stunning coastlines and delicious cuisine! 🌴🍝
26:10 I think we went to taht beach
We stayed 1 w is monopoly historic center. Amazing place Puglia! I will look at your video carefully
Glad you had fun. It's and amazing region to explore.
We are headed here Sunday cannot wait ! ❤️
My region ❤
I’ll be heading there in November. Looks wonderful.
Should be good - the crowds will have disappeared!
Lucky you
Great video thank you coming in September ❤
You’re welcome 😊
Excellent video, love it 🥰
Thank you 🤗
Good video. Italy looks fun.
Yeah it's a really cool region
I’ll be in Calabria soon Gregor
I've recently discovered your channel: great videos, I like them a lot.
Little tip: just North of Puglia there's the "region that doesn't exist", Molise. You should check that out: kinda surprising.
Anyway, all that beer drinking makes me wonder why you americans aren't allowed to drink in public...
Oh. I've been to all the regions in Italia, even Molise 😊😊
Thanks for the positive feedback too ❤️❤️
👍👍👍👍
9:09 - Gonna have to say that if that's 3 stories, they must be looooong stories like War and Peace, Atlas Shrugged and Gone with the Wind. Hahaha. As always, another great video!!
Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed the video
@@GregorBrown We always do. Keep up the good work!
FYI people once you've visited this region you can also consider to take then a ferry from Brindisi that can bring you ie. to Valona, Albania in around 6 hours or Corfù, Greece in around 7 hours. :)
Yeah, there's one from Bari to Bar, in Albania too!
We love all your videos! Well done. Do you have another boat guy now that Marco is out of business?
Once there, I would just go down to the port and explore and talk with the different boat companies.
Which month did you visit there? The weather is very nice. I’m planning to visit there next year.
Part of the video was filmed in July and the wine tasting and Bari was filmed in October
Thank you very much for your info. My trip will be in the end of April. Hope it’s not cold. 😂

I am lucky that i love in puglia
You are indeed lucky! 🌞🌊 Puglia is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy every bit of it and thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks! Do you have recommendations on beaches with NO music there? More nature based?
Not that I know of. Besides the ones that don't sell loungers. Those natural beaches are the best. When do u go?
Bravo Gregor! You're pugliese inside!
Ahh. Thanks! 😊😎
Nice fun video. I loved the sceneries. You can take advantage when making them to give some historical info about the places. Churches are full of history so you could mention their names and when they were built. Also check the names of the movies before mentioning them.
Thanks for a wonderful effort.
glad u liked
I have an Important question to ask you. You covered all the things my wife is interested in, wine tasting😂. So I’m interested in road cycling. Is Puglia a good region to ride in?
There are some stunning Farm roads down there but keep in mind the further you go south in Italy the road conditions are typically worse
Beautiful video and pulia is absolutely stunning wow 🥰🥰🥰 the red glasses you wear, why do you wear them all the time?
Puglia is indeed breathtaking! As for the sunglasses, why do you think I wear them all the time? A hint of mystery, perhaps? 😉🕶️🇮🇹🥰
Amalfi coast or Puglia for first time in Italy? Having a hard time choosing! 😍
What is parking like In Puglia if I rent a car? I will be there 8 nights I want to stay in 2 places like maybe Monopoli & ostuni as bases. Will I have no problems parking my car there? Along with places I make day trips to such as Matera? Lecce? etc?
Parking in Puglia can vary from place to place. In Monopoli and Ostuni, you should be able to find parking, but it might be easier on the outskirts or in designated parking areas. Matera and Lecce are popular, so I recommend looking for parking spots early in the day, and just being patient. Always check local signs for restrictions! 🚗🇮🇹
How do you stay thin eating in Italy. You must run a 1/2 marathon every day. I think I gained 5lbs just watching you. Seriously, it’s a challenge staying thin but I want to eat all the things.
It's about balance and not everyday. Do I eat all the rich Italian foods? Because some days I just have a simple plate for lunch and skip dinner, and also I run between 8 and 12 km a day. Or ride my bike.
Thanks a lot for sharing all these tips, much appreciated!
Quick question: I will be going soon to Bari and polignano, if you had to choose ONLY one additional city/town/village to visit, which one would you choose?
That's hard. Matera if u have time. Ostuni is good but at night
@@GregorBrown Will keep that in mind! Thank you for answering, Gregor.
I will suggest you Conversano, they have the best gelato (Il Incontro) also nice and popula wallking Villa by the castle is a small town 10K from Poligano, about 20K from Bari, but cheaper than both, close to all small towns. Also if you can go to Selva D' Fasano to some of the agroturimos places.
@@VitoLippolis Thank you so much! I am already back from the holiday but I will keep it in mind for further visits. Puglia deserves more than 1 trip :D
New subscriber here! Question: what’s more worth an overnight stay (after an overnight stay in Polignano a Mare) - Ostuni or Matera? My wife and I will be staying in Bari for 2 weeks this coming late July (business trip for me) and then we are going to Polignano A Mare on July 29th overnight and cant decide where to go next on July 30th overnight. I’m sure we could visit Matera for dinner and the views one evening during our 2 weeks in Bari…so I’m leaning towards Ostuni for the overnight stay after Polignano A Mare since it’s on the way from Bari. We are then going to Sicily for 6 nights with a rental car (2 nights in Palermo, 2 nights in Cefalu, and then 2 nights in Taormina)! Then the final 2 nights in Rome before leaving Italy! Busy schedule 😂 I’ve been to 36 countries including Italy but never to Puglia or Sicily. Seasoned traveler here…
Matera! For sure! To be able to wake up there and roam those streets at sunrise. Make sure you book in the old town.
Give yourself time in your busy schedule too.
@@GregorBrown yeah it will be busy but will try to take it slow and just enjoy the moments and food/drink
I'm from Ruvo, how come you ended up here? Congratulations for your video
Thanks! 😃 I can't remember, was that the wine stop?
@@GregorBrown Ruvo di Puglia al crifo 🙂 take care bro
26:50, did my guy say "we are wine tasting, because... Wine not?"
LOL! maybe so!
@@GregorBrown Hahaha. Right on!
Rule for this channel: first - like, then watch
Yes! ❤️😎
@@GregorBrown Puglia is one of my dreamiest locations ever. Thank you for your work! Very entertaining and insightful as always.
Appreciate the comments😎😎😎
Hey! Could you please share the boat guy’s information? I can’t find it in the description!
Check the description for all the notes
Great video… one thing though- it’s the “sea” not “ocean” 🤦♂️
ocean xD
You move too fast. Slow down so we don't have to pause constantly to see the sights. I lived and worked in Italia fir 40 years but, never got the chance to leave the North (Milano. Lago di Como. Including Switzerland managing Knorr Swiss Foods exports etc.) - anyway, your having fun. Great
Sorry, always move fast and have a lot of brown cover
where can i find a place that here is no human being :)
This region looks like only rich people can enjoy. 50 Euros for the umbrella at the beach, 190 Eur for dinner menu 😮 I prefer Spain where i can have very nice dinner in a traditinal restaurant for around 10-15eur, cafe con leche in spain is 1.50Eur, half litre beer 3 Eur in a restaurant. Even though the nature in italy looks very beautiful, its not worth to pay the tourism mafia there 😂
you can definitely do the public beaches and do the cheaper route, I often do that myself. But the think I don't like in Italy in general is the lack of public beaches and there are too many private beaches taking all the space.
hi, Italian here! Puglia is not at all a region for rich people. Gregor decided for high standard places but in general the cost of life in this region is really cheap compared to Amalfi Coast , north of Italy or UK. A coffè is 1€, a beer 2.5€ at bars, there are places called braceria or friggitoria where you can eat with 10/15€........of course you u will chose fancy restaurants u will pay more
Where is the Marco's instagram link?
He's not in business anymore
Nine thousand years... LMAO
Bro you forgot tò come tò savelletri(18 km from Polignano) here its made g7 ,here Justin Timberlake married,hete come Madonna and all vip in the world..400 people we are small Village on the Sea..the best of italy
