Linijom Beograd–Bari stižete brzo u glavni grad Apulije. Prva stanica mora da vam bude Bazilika Svetog Nikole, a čak i ako niste zvezdaš, svratite do istoimenog stadiona na kome je Zvezda ispisala stranice fudbalske istorije 1991. godine

With the Belgrade – Bari route, you arrive quickly in the capital of the Apulia (Puglia) region. Your first must-see is the Basilica of Saint Nicholas, and – even if you aren’t a Red Star fan – be sure to also visit the homonymous Stadium of Saint Nicholas, where Belgrade’s red & whites made football history back in 1991

Lokorotondo i vina Apulije Lokorotondo je opušteno mestašce, van fokusa turista, za razliku od Ostunija, ali jednako očarava šarmom, slikovitim trgovima, a posebno je lepa ova vinarija na kaskadama koje oivičavaju gradić. Nazdravite primitivom, lokalnim vinom Apulije. Ovde se jede tradicionalna testenina orekjete, a burata i straćatela su među najboljima u Italiji Locorotondo and Apulia wines Locorotondo is a chilled town that is beyond the focus of tourists, in contrast to Ostuni, but which is equally enchanting with its charm and picturesque squares, while this winery on the rolling hills that surround the town is particularly beautiful. Raise a toast with the ancient local wine of Apulia. Here they eat traditional orecchiette pasta, while the burrata cheese and stracciatella gelato are among the best in Italy

Grote dela poezija – obavezno! Skok sa ivice ovog prirodnog bazena na prvu će vam izgledati suludo, ali skupite hrabrost – trenutak strepnje pred skok, a potom radost i ponos kada izronite nemaju cenu Grotte della Poesia - a must! Diving from the edge of the Cave of Poetry’s natural pool will initially seem insane, but pluck up the courage – because that fleeting anxiousness prior to leaping, and the subsequent sense of joy and pride when you surface, are priceless

Na samoj štikli italijanske čizme, koju zapljuskuju Jadransko i Jonsko more, osetite pravi „dolce far niente“ uz buratu, orekjete i nezaboravne pejzaže / Right on the heel of the Italian boot, sprayed by the Adriatic and Ionian seas, feel genuine “dolce far niente” with burrata, orecchiette pasta and unforgettable scenery N a sat i po leta od Beograda, okupana svetlošcu boje slonovače, čekala nas je Apulija i 1.500 kilometara vožnje uzduž i popreko čarobnom štiklom Italije. Ako nameravate da je posetite, a ja bih rekla da morate, to je najbolji način. Avion Beograd–Bari, rentakar i kud vas put nanese... J ust a 90-minute flight away from Belgrade, bathed in ivory light, we were awaited by the region of Puglia, aka Apulia, and 1,500 kilo- metres of driving the length and breadth of the magical heel of Italy. If you intend to vis- it it, and I’d say that you must, this is the best way to do so. Catch a plane from Belgrade to Bari, rent a car and head wherever the road leads you...

Kroz prošlost ovi prostori su privlačili Feničane, Grke i Rimljane, krstaše... Danas Apulija privlači osta- tak sveta blagom klimom, peščanim plažama, kristal- nočistom vodom i vrhunskim crvenim vinima. Leti ćete skakati sa litica između kojih se ugnezdilo mo- re, plivati ispod mostova od stena, u uvalama uklesa- nim na najneverovatnijim mestima, na samoj flekici štikle, tamo gde se susreću Jonsko i Jadransko mo- re. Mnogo je mestašaca, mnogo plaža, mnogo svega, teško je izabrati, ali ovo je moja top-lista gradića ko- je ne smete da propustite u koje god doba godine da odete u Apuliju: Polinjano a mare, Monopoli, Otran- to, Galipolje, Alberobelo, Lokorotondo, Leče, Ostuni i jedinstveni i najstariji od svih gradova – Matera. Ia- ko geografski ne pripada Apuliji, na ovom putovanju je nezaobilazna. Ostavite i dan za Bari, kakva je to au- tentična Italija, nenašminkana i opuštena!

Throughout history, these lands have enticed Phoe- nicians, Greeks and Romans, crusaders... Today, Apulia attracts the rest of the world with its mild climate, sand beaches, crystal clear waters and top red wines. During the summer, you will dive from cliffs, swim under rock bridges and in bays carved out of the most incredible plac- es, on the very heel of the boot of Italy, where the Ionian and Adriatic seas meet. There are lots of settlements, lots of beaches, lots of everything; it’s tough to choose, but here is my list of must-see towns, regardless of what time of year you choose to visit: Polignano a mare, Monopoli, Otranto, Gallipoli, Alberobello, Locorotondo, Lecce, Os- tuni and the most unique and oldest of all cities, Mat- era. Despite not belonging to Apulia geographically, it is an unavoidable stop on this journey. Also set aside a day for Bari, which is authentic Italy, barefaced and relaxed!
