At last, the beautiful season is awakening and with it the desire to travel! The first bridge of summer is approaching and brings with it as many as four days of relaxation. What better occasion to set off in search of the most beautiful places in Puglia? A marvelous land embraced by the sea that offers itself as an ideal destination where to spend the June 2 bridge in the name of tradition, nature and fun.
Let's discover together what to do on June 2 in Puglia.
Everything is ready for the 30th edition of the Ferrovia Cherry Festival in Turi, in the province of Bari.
Once again this year the town will delight with this tasty fruit declined in all sauces. Also known as the Red Gold of Apulia, the railway cherry is typical of this region and boasts a long history.
A vermilion red that catches the eye and an exquisite pink flesh with an intense flavor are the main characteristics that make it irresistible. Combined with other typical local products and a good glass of wine, it makes an explosion of flavor on the palate that is absolutely worth trying.
For the occasion, the streets of the city of Turi come alive with fun between shows, music and folk dances from which to be swept away while visiting the beauties of the historic center.
Afew kilometers from Turi is a little gem of the area that is really worth a visit if you are in the area. It is the pretty village of Alberobello, in the heart of the Valle dItria. Most famous for its trulli, small local dwellings linked to the rural tradition, it is one of the most popular destinations for visitors to Puglia.
A special light shines on Alberobello, a white glow emanating from the white lime that lines the village's buildings and streets. All around a dreamlike atmosphere surrounds the landscape and runs through the alleys. All that remains is to lose oneself in the magic of the place.
The territory of the Valle dItria is very vast and deserves to be visited very quietly. To experience all this during your vacation, the best choice is to book accommodation in the land of Bari, so you can devote yourself to the strong tastes of this land in total relaxation.
Pushing toward the tip of the Heel of Italy, in the first days of June the Borgo in festa is held in Borgagne, a small village in the province of Lecce. This is a major social cultural festival built on the values of ecological sustainability and solidarity. A creative and original way to enhance the territory and carry high the flag for social commitment.
Various events around the city are also connected to the Borgo in Festa. It is therefore possible to get lost among food stands, art and craft exhibitions, music and dance performances. Fun is guaranteed!
Among other things, near the town is the area of Melendugno, embellished by its wonderful marinas overlooking the Adriatic. Clear, transparent waters lap the Melendugno coastline on which long stretches of golden sand run. A true corner of paradise that opens up in Salento, ready to welcome the many tourists who each year choose Puglia as a destination for their summer vacation.
Therefore, one should not miss the opportunity to take a dip in the blue and enjoy a moment of relaxation on the most beautiful beaches in the area. If you choose Salento as your bridge destination, it is good to find the ideal rental solution among the many vacation accommodations in Lecce, so that you can find the most suitable for your needs!
The most beautiful places to go on the June 2 bridge do not end here. Puglia is an area full of opportunities, immersed in the authenticity of traditions and cultural and scenic beauty.
Other must-see destinations definitely include Gallipoli, the capital of nightlife and pasticciotto! The sweet city offers wonderful views that open onto the Lungomare (waterfront promenade) where fun is the order of the day and lasts until the first light of the morning.
On the other hand, if you want to opt for a stay in close contact with nature, an ideal destination is definitely Porto Cesareo. The Porto Selvaggio Natural Park with its protected marine area allows you to make naturalistic and cultural excursions to discover the area. Backpack on your shoulders and off you go!
Still in Salento, the city of Otranto overlooks the Adriatic Sea with all its elegance. A walk through the streets of the historic center, among art and culture, is just what you need to spend a pleasant evening with friends.
In the province of Brindisi, a short stop in the town of Ostuni is not to be missed. The White City of Apulia, also renowned for its snow-white beauty, offers pretty landscapes from which to be enchanted.
Strolling through the alleys of the village tinged with colorful flowers adorning the little balconies is an experience not to be missed. All the beauty of your vacation is contained in simplicity!
