On my Top 5 Beach Vacation Destinations in the World list! Watch my video here!

Streets of Alberobello

A trip to the heel of the boot is most definitely a favorite. The vacation was based off of dance classes but a lot more such as the beaches of the Adriatic Sea (my favorite beaches in the whole world!!) & caves in Castellana Grotte were involved as well. Absolutely clear waters and old cobblestone streets- this place had my heart.

MUST DO

+ We visited a small town called Alberobello. It was filled with Trulli and the sweetest people you could meet. It was so stunning.

+ Adriatic Sea Beaches. My favorite we always returned to was Lido Losciale. I thought I would get married here, I was so in love!

+ Grotte di Castellana. These are the large caves that are very popular in this region. We did a tour and shopped the area as well!

WHERE TO STAY

Semiramide Palace Hotel! Amazing food, pool, location, and all. Because it is not a large city, it is not too expensive here for a 4-star hotel compared to other beautiful cities. An American sized bowl of pasta with a glass of wine for dinner every night is very much so affordable here.
This hotel is award-winning for their chef and concierge!

GETTING AROUND

We took cabs everywhere which were not costly. I would not suggest renting a car because they do drive a bit crazy here and that is coming from a New Yorker.
