Apulia is geographically associated with the "Achilles' heel" and the "heel" of Italy. Apulia attracts with 800 kilometers of coast, lots of culture and untouched nature. The capital Bari enchants with baroque cultural assets, churches and an enchanting historic city center. In the Murgia region you will find one of the trademarks of Puglia, the Castel del Monte. The so-called "Trulli", stone houses with conical roofs, are worth a visit. Lecce cannot be surpassed in baroque beauty with its many palazzi, churches and monuments from the 16th and 17th centuries.
Calabria: Snorkelling in front of rocks and cliffs in turquoise water. Hiking through centuries-old pine and beech forests. Again and again the glittering sea from different perspectives. Relax in the evening with a friendly trattoria innkeeper. A glass of strong red Cirò should not be missing here. All this is Calabria.
In 1972, two Greek male bronze statues were fished out of the sea off Riace. Today they are in the National Museum of Reggio Calabria. The Aspromonte National Park with its almost 2,000 meter high mountains offers a 400 kilometer network of hiking trails.
The cave dwellings (Sassi) of Matera were once home to the impoverished population of southern Italy's Basilicata. Since Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ" in 2004, the living grottos in the ankle area of the Italian boot have been a cult. But the Basilicate offers much more. Join us on a journey of discovery.

Die Apulische Küche
Puglia's cuisine is deeply rooted in the region's agricultural tradition and thus forms the core of Mediterranean cuisine. Many of the typical dishes. Local staples include olives, tomatoes, artichokes, beans, chickpeas, courgettes, aubergines, fennel, pepperoni, onions, pork and lamb, and some of the finest cheeses. They are composed in a simple but very tasty way to excellent dishes.
Like pasta, only durum wheat flour is used for Apulian bread . In the somewhat remote places, wood stoves are still common.
Puglia is an agricultural region that accounts for 40% of Italy's olive production and is also an important wine producer (Primitivo and Aleatico). On festive days, the streets smell of roast lamb. Horse meat is also very popular.
The pecorino and ricotta cheeses are excellent, as are most dairy products . You absolutely have to try the Burrata di Andria.
From the long coastline of Puglia there is a lot of fish and seafood .

Trani
Trani on the Adriatic Sea is a beautiful city with an old town center that transports visitors back in time to the Middle Ages. The whitewashed buildings are typical of the village
In the Middle Ages, some buildings were built in Trani that are probably unique in Italy. The imposing cathedral has been a guide for seafarers on the Adriatic for many centuries. At that time, the strategically well located port of Trani was the starting point for trade and numerous Crusades. At the northern end of the port, a fascinating Romanesque-style building, the Cathedral, was built. The attractive building with its creamy-white limestone facade is almost reminiscent of a mighty fortress. In this area of the Adriatic Sea there are many beautiful stretches of beach, Trani Beach has fine, light-colored sand and crystal-clear water.

Jazz lovers head to the city at the beginning of July for the Festival Bari in Jazz.
In Via Arco Basso, one of the many charming old town streets of Bari between Mercantile and Piazza Ferrarese, you can buy the freshest pasta in town. You can try the pasta dishes at Le Arpie in the Vico Arco del Carmine, at La Cecchina in the Piazza Mercantile (both in the old town).
Basilica San Nicola
Simple on the outside, rich in breathtaking treasures on the inside
While the north side entrance is guarded by two majestic lions, two oxen carry the arches of the main portal. The portal is decorated with Arabic, Byzantine and classical elements.
In the three-nave interior of the basilica, the masterpiece of a stonemason is enthroned behind the altar. A magnificent baroque bishop's chair painfully supported by ornate Romanesque sculptures. Next to it the Bona Sforza rests in a marble coffin. It's also worth looking up - the carved and gilded wooden ceiling rests on marble columns with Romanesque capitals and marble arches. The church has been a major destination for Roman Catholic and Orthodox pilgrims, including popes and royal families, for centuries.

Trulli
Imaginative limestone dome construction
What at first glance looks like the work of an eccentric artist or the home of a dwarf people is actually a human settlement. On the one hand, there were very practical reasons for the unusual construction: the thick stone walls insulated equally well against summer heat and winter cold; moreover, the limestone used was abundant in the area. The master builders of the trulli were farmers who farmed the land of the Count of Conversano in the 17th century and were therefore allowed to build dwellings on the land allotted to them. However, this was only subject to one condition: the dwellings were not allowed to be permanently attached. The reason: the feudal lord owed the king taxes for every permanent settlement on his land. These were skilfully circumvented by drywall construction.
Burrata – Köstliches Käse-Säckchen mit zart schmelzendem Kern
Creamy sweet filling
Burrata means "buttered" in German. The name refers to a special feature of the 44 percent cream cheese specialty: its creamy, slightly sweet filling made from cream and cheese fibres. If you cut the burrata, its core melts on the plate.
The burrata was only invented in the early to mid-20th century by a dairy farmer in Andria, southern Italy. When the farmer was unable to deliver his milk and cream due to the weather, necessity made him inventive: Without further ado, he filled the sweet cream into a cheese mixture and sealed the bag to protect the product from spoiling quickly. The burrata was invented.

Brindisi
Among the most interesting sights in Brindisi are the Aragonese Castle and Svevo Castle. Also worth seeing is the Colonne del Porto, a 18 m high column from the second century AD. The picturesque, historic city center of Brindisi is also definitely worth a visit. Here you will find, among other things, the Porticato dei De Cateniano, built in the 14th century, which served as the seat of the legendary Templars.
There is also another destination very close by: the Masseria Fortificata. These are former fortified farms that are in an excellent state of preservation and give a good impression of the way of life of the people of the Brindisi region in days gone by.

The shores of the Mediterranean Sea are not far from Lecce, the center of the Salento peninsula. In addition to well-known seaside resorts such as Castro, Gallipoli, Nardo and Otranto, holidaymakers will find attractive accommodation on over 50 Mediterranean estates just outside the city gates. These country farms offer direct family contact and therefore convey the southern Italian way of life particularly intensively.

Gallipoli
Located on the Salent Peninsula, Gallipoli is one of the oldest towns in the region. The whole old town of Gallipoli resembles a fortress. Located on an island accessible by bridges, it has been protected from invaders for centuries by walls, towers and bastions.
Gallipoli is divided into two districts: the old town on the island, the centro storico and the village of the borgo. The entire old town with its churches, fortifications and palaces is worth seeing. In the heart of the Centro Storico and at the highest point in the old town is the cathedral, the Basilica concattedrale di Sant'Agata. It was built in the 17th century and is considered the most important church in Gallipoli. Next to the many other churches is the Castello angioino, the reconstructed fortification from the 19th century.

Porto Cesareo
Porto Cesareo is only 35 kilometers from Lecce and can be reached from there via the PS119. It impresses primarily with its almost Caribbean climate and the extensive sandy beaches in the north. They are among the most beautiful of Salento.
There is a lot to discover in and around Porto Cesareo: whether the picturesque harbor with its colorful boats, or the islands of Isola Grande, also known as Isola dei Conigli (Rabbit Island), rising out of the sea, Isola lo Scoglio and Isola della Testa. Rabbit Island can even be reached by wading through the shallow sea.
The local marine biology museum is well worth a visit, as is the small church of Chiesetta della Madonna del Perpetuo Soccorso, with its pretty statues and frescoes, or the Statua di Manuela Arcuri on the seafront.
The highlight, however, are certainly the four watchtowers running from north to south: Cesarea (Via Francesco Petrarca), Lapillo (Via Ivanohe Bonomi), Chianca, and Castiglione. They date from the 16th century and are unique. They were once used to defend the coast against pirates and Saracens.

Matera
Matera is the capital of the province of Matera. The second province of Basilicata is called Potenza. The Basilicata itself is located between Calabria and Apulia and is usually only noticed when passing through. This is a pity, especially because of the archaeological wealth of the region. After a Byzantine era from which the name Basilicata derives, after Lombard and Norman conquests, the ten thousand square kilometer area fell to the Kingdom of Naples in 1861.

Colobraro - Ort des Unglücks
The exact founding year of Colobraro is not known. The place arose near the monastery of the Basilian monks of St. Mary of Ceronofio. The name of the place comes from coluber , snake. Worth seeing in the village is the church Chiesa Madre.
Colobraro has a reputation in the region as a place of bad luck - a superstition that has residents of the surrounding area avoid even pronouncing the place name. Since 2007, the community has been trying to market its increased awareness through television, including with a themed festival in August.

Bova, Hauptstadt von Griechisch-Kalabrien - Das antike Chora, das Dorf der Dörfer
Bova is a village of legendary origins: legend has it that it was founded by the Greek Queen Oichista, who put the sole of her foot on the rock where the castle is today. A unique village, for its history, culture and architecture that has left important testimonies over the centuries. Bova has been voted among the ten most beautiful villages in Italy several times.
Die Kathedrale von Santa Maria dell'Isodia
The Cathedral, which is reached from the Town Hall Square through the narrow streets characteristic of the village, has a three-aisled basilica that dates back to the first core of the 9th century and was later enlarged and remodeled.
The central nave with its wooden half-timbered construction ends to the east with an elongated, higher choir, which is accessible via a wide staircase. At the end of the apse is the imposing altar, surmounted by a niche that houses the statue of the Virgin and Child. The side chapels open along the two small naves connected with the two large chapels of the “Assunta” and “SS. Sacramento” end.
Die griechisch-kalabrische Sprache
A particular feature of Bova is the persistence of the Greek language (a dialect form that shows clear similarities with the dialects of Crete and Cyprus), which together with that of the other villages of the Bovesìa (Gallicianò and Roccaforte for example) have made these places World Heritage Sites.
For those who want to get to know this wonderful language, some associations organize attractive summer courses ( To ddomàdi greco - The Greek Week ) to transmit it to everyone or to improve it.
Das Museum für die griechisch-kalabrische Sprache “Gerhard Rohlfs“
The museum was set up to give visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in Greek-Calabrian culture. In addition to the
important photographic testimonies (giant photos) that come from the Rohlfs family,
some rooms show the ambience and situations of the daily life of the Greek-speaking population , with simple utensils and elements, but as carriers of old traditions they are of enormous cultural and historical value.

Reggio Calabria
Also known as the city of bronze statues, Reggio Calabria had a special importance in ancient times. The Romans and Greeks have left their mark on the Calabrian town. The Greco-Roman charm is particularly attractive. Nestled between the coast and the Mediterranean Sea, the colorful city lies directly on the Strait of Messina. The beach boulevard is considered Italy's most beautiful kilometer. Reggio Calabria is also famous for the bergamot, which is also the symbol of the city.
Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia
Magna Graecia is here
The history of the Museum of Reggio Calabria is born from the devastating earthquake of 1908 that struck the cities of Reggio and Messina. Important finds of its Greco-Roman history emerged from the ruins of a city still devastated. The enormous damage caused by the earthquake to the Civic Museum , which opened in 1882, and the will of the then Commissioner for Antiquities in Calabria, Paolo Orsi , accelerated the creation of an Archaeological Museum in Magna Graecia, where finds from all over Calabria are preserved should be.

Bergamotte aus Reggio Calabria - Prinzessin der Zitrusfrüchte
Precious essence in perfumery, but also a panacea
The origin of these wonderful citrus fruits is mysterious. Some say it came from China , others from Pergamon in ancient Greece . Then there are those who believe it came from Berga in Spain and was brought back by Christopher Columbus , who in turn found it in the Canary Islands . What is certain is that the most prized citrus fruit has found a home in the Reggio Calabria and Locride region, where 90% of world production is concentrated .
Cherimoya
The cherimoya (Annona cherimola), also known as the cream or cinnamon apple, is a fruit native to the Andean highlands of Peru , Ecuador , Colombia and Bolivia that is almost unknown in Europe. Oddly enough, however, this delicious fruit has been found on the Calabrian tables for more than 200 years . The mild and favorable climate of the region has allowed the cherimoya to quickly become part of the local landscape with small leafy shrubs that bloom in May, making the fruit a protagonist of Reggio cuisine.
Traditionelle Gaumenfreuden: „Satizzu“ und Brokkoli
Sausages, broccoli and more...
A must for those who want to discover the most authentic flavors of the Reggio Calabria area, which finds its maximum expression in the combination with “u satizzu” (sausage).
Der Pellaro - samtige Eleganz in Wein verwandelt
All the power of Calabria in a glass
The energy of Calabria is concentrated both in the wine and in the Pellaro territory: the force of the wind, the warmth of the inhabitants, the taste of the sea and the strength of the sun. A wine known since ancient times: the literary Flavio Magno Aurelio Cassiodoro also speaks of its intense flavor and in some of his manuscripts he highlighted the healing and healthy properties of this wine.
The Pellaro wine can be produced in the delimited areas of the Calabrian municipalities of Motta San Giovanni, Bocale, Macellari, Lume di Pellaro, Occhio di Pellaro, Pellaro, Paterriti, Oliveto, San Filippo and Valanidi in order to obtain the IGT designation.

Scilla
The people here live from fishing and tourism. Their houses nestle against the rocky slope that rises above the small bay. The Cathedral and Castle of Scilla watch over the village. Traditions are upheld here and the Italian attitude to life sets the pace here. The fishermen have built their houses directly on the sea and "park" their boats right in front of the front door. They go out to sea with them at night and come back in the morning with Scilla's speciality. As a visitor you should not miss this delicacy. In one of the many small bars or restaurants it is worth enjoying the favorite dish of the Scillans: swordfish - freshly caught and prepared according to the Scillan tradition.

Tropea
The town of Tropea is located in the Calabria region. It is also worth exploring the impressive, historic old town of Tropea. It has many well-preserved medieval buildings and houses that characterize the pleasant atmosphere in the city. One of the finest monuments in the area, the 12th-century Cattedrale di Tropea has been restored and remodeled several times. In addition, Tropea has many characteristic palazzi, which are not only popular with architecture fans.
Chiesa Santa Maria dell'Isola
In the Middle Ages, a church was built on a sandstone rock on the beach of Tropea. If you climb the steep steps to the Chiesa Santa Maria dell'Isola, you can enjoy a wonderful view over the town, the sea, the long sandy beaches and the hidden bays from above. The early Byzantine monastery bears witness to former wealth.

Pizzo – Altstadt, Kultur und legendäres Eis
A must for every Calabria visitor. This picturesque fishing village is bursting with Italian joie de vivre! Bars, restaurants, boutiques, cafés and numerous ice cream parlors, which are mainly located around the market square. Apparently, the famous “tartufo ice cream” was invented in Pizzo. This sweet calorie bomb is still made by hand today and consists of a scoop of vanilla or hazelnut ice cream and is filled with a liquid chocolate core. The ball is also dusted with cocoa. Napoleon's brother was imprisoned and executed in the "Castello Murat" in Pizzo.
Höhlenkirche Chiesetta di Piedigrotta
The cave church Chiesetta di Piedigrotta, hand-hewn into the cliffs by shipwrecked people in thanks for their salvation. 142 steps lead to this church grotto carved in tuff stone directly at the sea.
