Ostuni is one of the most stunning cities in southern Italy famous for the dazzling effect of its whitewashed houses. In the Church of San Vito Martire there are the remains of a young woman now named ‘Delia’. The young 20 year old pregnant woman had been buried in a hole in a grotto 25,000 years ago. Ostuni boasts many restaurants with traditional Pugliese cuisine, with roast and grilled meat and tasty tangy pasta dishes to suit every palate. Ostuni has also one of the oldest Franciscan convents dating back to 1304. The Cathedral is located on the highest point of the city, which was built between 1435 and 1495, and has a beautiful Gothic facade. Far away you will see the white town perched on a hill, crowned by the cathedral with its colorful dome. The town of Ostuni is surrounded by a medieval fortress wall, and as you meander through the streets, you may stumble upon hidden cafe bars and restaurants. Definitely worth visiting at night, as there is a buzz of excitement, and people sipping coffee and drinking Spritz - it definitely has a cosmopolitan feel.

Brindisi known as the gateway to the East, Brindisi has flourished for thousands of years as the most eastern port of the Italian Peninsular. This city marked the end of the Via Appia in Roman times, and the columns that signaled its entrance can still be seen at the top of a grand flight of stone steps overlooking the port. Here was the setting for the epic sea battle between Caesar and Pomey and the meeting place for Mark Anthony & Octavius when they carved up the empire. The nicest areas are along the waterfront of the old town, where a long row of stylish bars and restaurants line the promenade. There is also an attractive pedestrian shopping area and a number of interesting sites such as the Castle of Federico 11, the Aragonese Castle and the 12th century Romanesque Cathedral.
