Preliminary planning for trip to Puglia in Late April/early May
Hello all:
I am beginning to plan a 12 day trip to Puglia in late April/early May. I have the books and have read several trip report on this forum (thanks to all) and elsewhere.
Key point is that I will NOT be driving, which presents some challenges, but not impossible. My interests are art, architecture, history and general exploring. While I am in no way a beach person, I enjoy staying in towns on the sea.
Here is my preliminary itinerary:
Bari (which itself only requires one day, but s a good transportation hub for day trips): 4 days with day trips to Matera, Alberobello/Martina Franca, possibly Trani
Polignono: 4 days with day trip to Ostuni, Monopoli
Lecce: 4 days with day trips to Otranto, Gallipoli
What do you think? I can extend the trip by 3-4 more days if necessary – If I do, what should I include? Any suggestions for alternative itinerary?
Best regards … Ger

It's easy to combine Alberobello with Castellana Caves.
Polignano is close to Bari. You could visit Ostuni, Monopoli and Egnazia from Bari as well.
What about the northern part: Vieste Gargano, Termoli and may be Tremiti Islands?
