MORE To See In APULIA:



Bari is the commercial capital city with 250,000 inhabitants and offers the best shopping a grand opera house called the Petruzzelli Teatro, and a large medical city centre with many museums. Just north of Bari lies a little town called Giovinazzo, a true gem, right by the sea. Further north is Molfetta Outlet, a famous shopping galleria, and 20 minutes further is Trani, a sophisticated town with a beautiful half-moon moon bay & marina. Continue north to Castel De Monte, the mystical castle Frederic Ii built in the 13th Century.

Within a 2,5 hour drive to the North of Bari lies Gargano, the peninsula called the spur of the Italian boot. Gargano forms a significant wildlife Reserve and offers hiking and scenic trips around the peninsula. From here, there are daily boat trips to the small Tremiti Islands.



LIFESTYLE And CULTURE:

The Italian lifestyle means many things but especially socialising the home is used for sleeping and breakfasts, and the Italians enjoy socialising and dining. There is so much you can experience, like early morning markets in the small towns. Music festivals, religious carnivals, beach life, historical tours in the main towns, cooking classes, learning a bit of Italian at language schools in Lecce, and dining at the many country and seaside restaurants.



SPORTS:

As Apulia is a peninsula surrounded by two seas- the Adriatic in the north and the Ionic in the south  water sports dominate in the area: sailing, yachting, water-skiing, kite-surfing, swimming & beach life. Golf has five good courses, and San Domenico is world-class (Pga 2014 Challenge Final). Tennis, horseback riding, hiking, and bicycle tours are other options for the active-minded. Squash clubs are located in Bari, Bitonto and other places.



The WEATHER:

Being south, Apulia has warmer weather than the northern. Even in thewinter months of December to February, the average number of sun hours per day is four, and in June to August, it is 10-11 sun hours per day! This means you can enjoy a long season of nice weather in Apulia. When you plan to buy a holiday home in Apulia, you will spend a lot more time outside than inside than at home. Therefore, you will need plenty of terrace space, pergolas, etc., at your Apulian property, and outdoor cooking facilities are very practical.



The water temperature at the beginning of Ma is, on average, 19 degrees, up to 27 degrees in August/September and 19 degrees in November. This means you & family will spend time at the beach. Wherever you are in Apulia, you can reach the beaches within 30 minutes!



WHY Buy In APULIA?

Apulia has until recently been called the hidden treasure of Italy, unknown to most tourists who come & stay in Rome, Florence, Venize and the Italian Riviera. However, all this is rapidly changing because of massive investments in infrastructure, such as improved motorways, enlarged airports, and the introduction of low-cost airlines such as Ryanair and Easyjet. The property prices are low in Apulia, and inadequate means value for money at bargain prices for international buyers. We see more and more foreign visitors coming to Apulia. In our opinion, investments will show good growth in value because of the increased demand from the northlands as Apulia has become the most popular holiday destination for Italians. Rest assured that no tourist villages will ever be built because the Apulian coastline is protected. The local people are against modern developments which do not fit into this historical landscape. Therefore, prices are bound to rise, with increased demand for a fixed and limited number of properties.
