Uncover the cities of Lecce and Bari while soak up the amazing scenery and appealing culture of this laid-back region.

What’s included
Itinerary
Meeting your Tour Manager at London Gatwick, you fly to Bari. On arrival in the city on the east coast of Italy, you transfer to your hotel near to Polignano a Mare, a relaxing all-inclusive base ideally situated for exploring this charming and unspoilt part of Italy.
The seafront location of your hotel has a laid-back atmosphere overlooking the azure waters of the Adriatic. With free time after you check-in, you can unwind on the private beach or in the spa. Perhaps you would prefer to lounge by the outdoor swimming pools with a cooling drink.
This evening, you enjoy dinner at the hotel with drinks included - as they are between 10am and 10pm each day.
It is possible to fly from regional airports and meet your Tour Manager in Italy

A very well organised holiday in a less well known but interesting part of the world. The accommodation and food was excellent and the tour manager, Linda Howells, made it even more interesting with her information slips and enthusiasm. Many thanks.
