I'm from Bari and I received the recommendation to watch this video eheh. And my family has even a house in the countryside near alberobello. Matera is simply amazing , it's one of my favourite places in Italy for sure
We just came back from a very hot Puglia trip and it was fantastic. We stayed in Monopoli in one of those b&b along the ancient wall. We made orchiette in Lecce, catamaran/swam in the Adriatic in Polignano a mare, walked around Alberobello and toured some of the trulli. Walking food tour in Bari and ate the most fantastic foccacia. All this was done as day trips from Monopoli. We were fortunate that we booked drivers for all the day trips. Gorgeous part of Italy and will come back again to see Ostuni and stay in Matera. You are spot on about your suggestions. Thank you
Excellent tip on the cave system to get a break from the heat. I hope you haven't left Puglia; You still need to see Giovinazzo and Trani (same day trip close to Bari), and Castel del Monte, a fairy tale castle from the XIII century.
Ostuni-Gallipoli-Monopoli-Polignano a Mare-Fasano-Lecce-Brindisi is my favourite triangle in puglia. Beautiful beaches, great food and drinks all provided by people that know how to live very close to heaven, while firmly rooted to their home soil.
The Bari area is very underated as its not often on " tourists " go to areas... Watching your vids over the years Mark its interesting to see how your kids have grown into little men now !!!!. Almost time to get Driving Licences Ha Ha .... Thats scary for you. How about a trip on the French Canals through Burgundy or Alsace. Hint Hint... Keep up the great work. Max. Australia.
Was originally going to do all this as part of my trip to Italy for the first time in a couple of months but instead opted for a couple of weeks on Sicily instead, can’t do everything I guess but you’ve made me wish I could - will just have to return I suppose! 😊
Please be careful there are fire from today in Puglia. Stay safe and follow instructions. Please consider where you are traveling this month. Dunno if you are there yet
Been there this august, almost died from heat! Matera is amazing and Bari also! Alberobello seemed too touristy. overall great pleaces in Puglia and Matera, but I would not recommend going there jully -august
You went Italy. Must be damn and really hot. Watching the news, reporters say the all the Southern European countries are facing heatwaves Been in those places many times

Finalmente qualcuno che visita anche il nord-est dell’Italia. Il Friuli Venezia Giulia è una regione stupenda, ricca di colori, sapori e belle persone! Non esiste solo il Sud……
Hope you're slathering on the sunscreen Mark. Southern Italy is one of the last places I would go in middle of summer. Palermo in November was perfect. (I used to live in Alaska, the perfect summer weather on the coast. But hey that's just me.)
the complete opposite of the American ticktocker who went to the amalfi coast and complained about the steps. Christ stoppped at Eboli is a great book about those old italian hill towns back over 100 years ago
Traveled the region last year... didn't make it to Matera sadly but went to Alberobello, Ostuni, and Polignano... I do have to say to try and AVOID taking the bus between these cities as they are unreliable, infrequent, and very difficult to find where the stops actually are. Google maps was useless for that. Definitely rent a car, or take the trains between the coastal cities there.
I am crossing my fingers so fucking tight in the hopes that you do a video on Bari, Italy. What an absolute coincidence that Bari is my grandmother's hometown. Sadly, I haven't been able to visit yet (I'm 31) due to my grandmother saying that she's now too old to deal with and because I'm disabled, chronically ill, fed through a feeding tube, bed ridden and because I don't have the money to visit because I simply cannot work. I'm also hoping you make a video about your trip/visit to Bari because I would absolutely love to show that video to my grandmother, my mom and my mom's side of the family. So... My fingers are so extremely tightly crossed! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Seriously Mark, my biggest criticism of your videos is that you do not state at least approximately, THE DATE OF FILMING of your videos. i do not think it can be mid-July 2023, as currently temperatures in Southern Italy are extremely high. (40+ Celsius; 100+ Farenheit.)
@@shadowgirl393 Sorry, but you have missed the point. Temparatures in southern Europe in July 2023 have reached record highs. People are being advised NOT TO GO OUTSIDE. Tourist attractions (eg the Acropolis in Athens) are closed.
This is so wild, Mark! I’ve been thinking of Bari for a couple of weeks now and you post this today? It’s a sign!

would you mind giving me the info for your food tour and driver? I was also considering a cooking class. Do you recommend any that look good?
I don't know where to stay as a base for a tour , where would you suggest ?
People of Matera lived in caves much more recent than a 1000 years ago, more like up until the 1950s.
Never heard of Matera,but now I wanna go.Looks amazing.
Matera is set film la passione di cristo
As italian, I'm glad you often visit and love my country. Ciao e buone vacanze 😊
Great advices. Thank you! 😊 I have a Puglia trip on my bucket list and this is very helpful 👍😊
Matera is magical. I didn’t want to leave ❤
Matera looks so gorgeous!
Thanks for the tour. I get to visit many places virtually by watching you for years now.
I have family in the south of Italy and visited Matera, Lecce, Pisticci, etc beautiful area. Great video! 👍🏻
Nice places I've never heard of. Thanks for the video Wol.
I’ve done the rounds down there a few times. I love it so much!!! You hit all the good bits! X
Just visited the Bari region last week, Matera was so stunning. such a special place
Such a beautiful place enjoy roaming around keep safe always

You still need to see Giovinazzo and Trani (same day trip close to Bari), and Castel del Monte, a fairy tale castle from the XIII century.
We are going to be spending 3 weeks in Puglia this September.
Thats a great video, I will be sure to check this out when I go to Italy someday
I have been to all of these places. It is a Fabulous area. Thanks for the ❤memories ❤❤
The pronunciation for Monopoli is Monòpoli 😊
Love your videos
Un abbraccio from Italy !
A great, informative video about a very interesting area of Italy.
Amazing video!! Thanks a lot.
Hey Mark, awesome video
Thanks Marks. We're hoping to visit Bari in January.

I went to the trulli houses in alberello recently and it was great, it almost felt like Disneyland without the rides and stuff. Very great trip.
Also, Castel del Monte and Trani are not to be missed.
Where did you shoot that great shot with your wife with the sparkling city at dusk behind you? Heading there next month. Great video - as always.
Go in Gravina! Ceglie Messapica! Oria! Tricase!...
Please be careful there are fire from today in Puglia. Stay safe and follow instructions. Please consider where you are traveling this month. Dunno if you are there yet
Hi Mark, when are you visiting Bohol island in the Philippines? Would love if you do a travel video there. Cheers! 😊
Ha ha. We could have been there around the same time as you. Visited a lot of the same placed. Went to lecce instead of Bari.
i india we have some rajsathan city with blue houses and marbles instead of white everyone same dry terrain

Come to Algiers and Oran!
I would definitely add Lecce to the list. Actually my favorite city in Puglia! :)
Lecce is gorgeous, and bonus points, there are actual beaches nearby.
i’m so happy u liked it here!! i always recommend tourists to check out the South because it has sm things to offer 🫶🏻
Monopoly is a Game 😂

It’s summer. Move on.
How do you get to Matera ? I don’t see any public bus lines or train lines when on Apple Maps transit
Matera is stunning.
Locorotondo is way nicer than Ostuni.
On Sunday i gonna drive to Triest for vacation 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

As another response has already pointed out, it is currently 'damn hot' in Italy. And that includes Trieste in the far North-East corner.
Hope you're slathering on the sunscreen Mark. Southern Italy is one of the last places I would go in middle of summer. Palermo in November was perfect.
(I used to live in Alaska, the perfect summer weather on the coast. But hey that's just me.)
Is Bari a good vacation destination?
Absolutely! Polignano is beautiful too
Yes, it's Bari good.
yeah we all know that ialty is birthpalce of fashiona nd renaissance
