Upon arrival in Bari, we’ll check into our accommodation and explore Bari Vecchia, a maze of ancient streets filled with history and local charm.

After wandering through this fairytale town, we continue to Locorotondo, one of Italy’s most beautiful villages, with beautiful countryside views.
Next, we visit Polignano a Mare, known for its dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters, before saying our final goodbye in Bari and leaving with great memories.

I am Marie, 30 years old, and in a nutshell: traveling and travel planning are my greatest passions ♥️
Although I was born in Austria, Italy is my dream destination. I have already undertaken many trips there and now want to show others the beauty of southern Italy. I seize every opportunity to leave my small home country and explore the world. In the process, I have already planned trips for my family, friends, and even in a professional context. My greatest dream is to go on adventure trips to my beloved Italy with people from all over the world and share my travel passion with them.
For our stay during the 5-day Apulia trip, we will be housed in either an apartment or a hotel, depending on the number of participants. I will personally organize the accommodation to ensure it suits everyone’s needs and preferences. Whether you’re traveling with a group of friends or joining solo, the accommodations will provide a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the beauty of Apulia.
The rooms will be shared, which is a great opportunity to meet fellow travelers and make new friends along the way. If you prefer more privacy, single rooms are available upon request for an additional fee. I want to make sure that your stay is as comfortable as possible, so please feel free to reach out with any specific accommodation preferences, and I will do my best to meet them.
All accommodations will be fully equipped with essential amenities, including WiFi, so you can stay connected, share your trip moments, or plan your next adventure. Whether you're looking to unwind in the evening or need a place to work remotely, the provided WiFi will ensure you're connected throughout your stay.
I understand that everyone has different preferences, so I aim to offer a flexible and comfortable environment for everyone. The accommodation will be located in Bari, allowing easy access to the key attractions and local experiences.
