ITALY: Matera, Polignano a Mare e Lecce

Yeah, it was more than 2 years ago. Yeah, I have no excuses. But Sleeping Beauty has woken up and wants to bring us up-to-date. So let’s remember a good trip with a few photos from each stop.

We started in Matera, a province of Basilicata, and then went on to Puglia, staying first in the beautiful seaside town of Polignano a Mare, and ending in a fabulous hotel in Lecce, a very popular city in Puglia.

In each city, we had private, chauffeur-driven, day trips to other nearby cities. That, however, didn’t stop us from getting lost when we were left on our own. Almost every time! 😂

And, one thing for very sure … food and vino were plentiful throughout! We started with a visit to a bakery in Matera with delicious focaccia and traditional breads, and it only got better from there! Throughout the trip, abbiamo mangiato molto bene! And abbiamo mangiato too much!

MATERA: Majestic, mysterious, historic, unique.

POLIGNANO A MARE: A beautiful seaside resort town with easy access to other cities for day trips.

LECCE: A popular city with history, restaurants, art, etc. and access to nearby cities in Puglia.
