Puglia Region What to Expect

it is a funny litle town. i sailed in to viesete couple of yeares ago. from the sea it look like somwhere in north africa. it has a lighthouse in front of the port and it looks like a mosk. al houses are with flat roofs, painted in white, with small windows. at least odd......
when u pass the first row of bulding next to the sea the town reveals itself: the flair of south of italy. it is loud, friendly, in a strange kind of speed.
we sailed in around 3pm. the streets in the center where not to crowded. most of the shops had closed. but after 8pm, when the sun goes down, life pores into the street. kids stay up until after midnight playing socker on the streets, shops r open until who knows when, older folks sit in front of their doors long long after dark.
with one word, it has a certain something.
it is a town, so it has all needed - hotels, hostels (aldo i would not recomend a hostel in the south of italy), shops, private acomodation.
if u wanna see a part of the southern culture and way of living this is the spot. if u want to spend time on the beach and swim, this is not the place cause the sea there is gently said not nice. if u wanna swim go on the other side of italy.
if u wanna enjoy a diferent and nice culture stay here.

This is one of the 3 Itallian ports where you catch the ferry to Greece (the others are Bari and Venice.) If you have a Eurail pass, it is e20 in peak season, free other times. Technically you have to sleep on the deck but we slept under the stairs inside, and actually one of the better sleeps we ever had.

Hey there, now! If you had any place to go in Italy, it wouldn't be Brindisi. However, to get to where you want to go, you may need to port here. I took a nice and very long ferry from Greece to Italy and we docked in Brindisi. There was a nice little restaraunt near the port when you first disembark. But other than that, I woudn't stay long.

Brindisi is a tourist trap for people taking boats to Greece, so if you go to a restaurant there (and there are good ones) go off the beaten path... also if you can pull off pretending not to speak english, when they give you the menu, ask if they have one in Italian. More than one place I went to had prices that were less than half those on the english menu.

There were a lot of flies here and the only people here were waiting to catch ferries to Greece.

make sure you do the underground tour of the Roman amphitheatre and relax with an aperitivo and snacks about 7pm at an outside cafe in the maze of the old centre
