Live Puglia Planning WebinarMake Puglia Yours
They loved Puglia. They just wished they'd planned it differently.
Recently, travellers I was speaking with told me about friends who had spent eight nights based in Ostuni. They fell in love with Puglia, but went back home regretting their choice - it simply hadn't worked for the trip they wanted.
And I knew why. They had planned without taking into account how Puglia actually works as a region.
Puglia isn't impossible to plan. But there are things about the region you need to understand before you start booking.
WHY THIS WEBINAR
Beautiful places are easy to find.
Knowing what makes sense is harder
Puglia is a stunning place, and it’s almost impossible not to fall in love with it.
It can look simple on a map. In reality, the different areas, distances, transport and endless choices can make planning surprisingly overwhelming.
You might already have countless tabs open or a Pinterest board full of inspiration.
But then the questions start to arise:
WHERE SHOULD I BASE MYSELF?
HOW MANY NIGHTS DO I NEED?
DO I NEED A CAR?
WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS TOGETHER?
AM I TRYING TO FIT IN TOO MUCH?
The difference lies in knowing how to make sense of all the options. And to do that, you first need to understand the region: its areas, distances and logistics.
MAKE PUGLIA YOURS
A live 90-minute webinar with Chiara, born and raised in Puglia.

WHO YOU'RE LEARNING FROM
Puglia was home long before it became my work
My name is Chiara, and I was born and raised in southern Puglia. I know the region’s rhythms, distances and differences because I grew up here.
Today, as the founder of Tales of Puglia, I use that local knowledge professionally to design carefully considered holidays for international travellers.
WHO IS THIS FOR

You want to understand the region before deciding where to stay and what to include
You've done some research but are struggling to make sense of all the options
You want to plan independently, but with a clear framework to guide your decisions
You want a trip that feels considered rather than rushed
You're travelling with others and want to make planning decisions that take everyone into consideration
From Tales of Puglia travellers
