The province Foggia in the northern part of Apulia stretches from the plain Tavoliere di Foggia to the promontory Gargano with its spectacular craggy cliffs and picturesque coastal towns. The paradisiac islands Isole Tremiti lie off the coast in the azure Adriatic Sea. The province offers everything for bathing and outdoor sports, but also cultural highlights, like the famous cities Troia and Lucera in the hinterland and historic harbour villages.

The province Barletta-Andria-Trani is the youngest and smallest of Apulia’s provinces. But it offers a lot to delight its visitors! You can find evidences of the ancient world, medieval fortresses, interesting monuments and a fascinating nature. The diverse landscape stretches from the azure ocean of the Adriatic Sea to the endless area of the plateau Murgia, where time seems to stand still.

The provinces Bari and Taranto

Bari is the biggest province of Apulia and the eponymous capital of the province is a significant trade and university city in Southern Italy. The coastline dazzles with attractive towns and their historical old towns and lively harbour flair. In the hinterland, you can find impressing UNESCO World Heritage Sites, like the Castel del Monte or the unique Trulli cottages in Alberobello. 

The province Taranto is the only province facing the Ionian Sea. Its landscape is characterized by gentle hills, wide plains and craggy areas. The coastline offers a large variety of landscapes: Rough and wild cliffs, falling away sharply to the ocean, wide isolated sandy beaches and lively bating resorts.
