Cheap flights to Brindisi
As Italian as pizza, pasta and parmesan, Brindisi is Italy as it once was, full of old world charm, untouched beaches and home cooked food.
Previously used only as a port to get to Greece and its islands, today the Italian city of Brindisi is undergoing something of a renaissance when it comes to attracting the discerning tourist. Not only is the city starting to get the attention it deserves for its wealth of history and picturesque harbour, but it is also being seen as the gateway to Puglia – one of the few remaining gems of Italy to be untouched by mass tourism.

(Via Giordano Bruno, Ostuni) Head to Seconda Vita, an Aladdin's cave full of second-hand treasures. Literally anything can be found and nothing is off-limits. This writer was tempted by the 19th-century carriage and bridle set, but instead walked away with a set of beautifully engraved crystal glasses and a 1960s scarf for less than â¬20.

Take a drive through the Itria Valley during spring, one of the most stunning times of the year. The country is blooming and lush, and one can find lots of tiny little bars and restaurants dotted around the many towns that lie en-route. Not to be missed, it's Puglia at its most pretty.

Visit Lecce and pay a visit to the La Basilica di Santa Croce. One of the most stunning examples of Baroque architecture in the world. Truly a building that inspires awe be it religous or otherwise.
