Destination Weddings in the Puglia region of southern Italy

Apulia is an enchanting region located in Southern Italy, known for its rich landscapes, history, tradition, gastronomy, and spirituality. This region offers a unique combination of stunning nature, ancient culture, and exquisite Italian wedding venues.

The sea is one of its gems, as Apulia extends along the coast with marvellous beaches that stretch over 860 kilometres of coastline. Visitors can enjoy the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea and Adriatic Sea, as well as the white sand beaches and steep cliffs. From the sandy shores of Torre dell'Orso to the magical meeting point of the two seas at Santa Maria di Leuca, beach lovers will find plenty to explore. Apulia beaches are ideal for relaxing, as well as discovering the coastline by boat.

But Apulia is not just about its sea: another great reason to visit is the charming inland villages, rich in history and spiritual tradition. These quaint towns are perfect for history lovers, with their ancient stone alleys, frescoed churches, and rock-hewn retreats. For a deep dive into Apulia's past and traditions, Alberobello is a must-see. The town of Trulli houses—distinctive, white stone, round structures—has become a symbol of the region, offering a truly unique experience.

Apulian cuisine is an unforgettable experience. Known for its simple yet flavorful dishes, the cuisine relies heavily on fresh ingredients such as vegetables, olive oil, and durum wheat. The region is also known for mixing fish and meat to create genuine flavors. The star of Apulian cooking is homemade pasta made from durum wheat, including local specialties like orecchiette and the famous strascinati, which were once considered a humble dish but are now served in the finest Apulian restaurants.
