Delicious puccia in Otranto and stunning nature at the bauxite cave pond and cave of poetry. This place has everything. Then wondering through the streets of Lecce topped off the perfect day. Trying the local delicacy of Pasticciotto . We can't recommend this place highly enough.

Welcome to the official Travel Beans UA-cam channel! On this channel, you’ll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which you’ll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more.
In 2017 we left home with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be!
After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head-on. After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle.
Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy!

I'm from those areas. and I wanted to suggest to those who want to visit these areas, and do not want to be surrounded by many people to visit in May or September. Salento is not well known by foreigners but by Italians yes, so in the summer many people come on vacation (Sorry for my english). I love my land,beautiful video!! Ciaoooo
Martina Stefanelli Thank you Martina, great suggestion! I had to cancel my first holiday to Italy due to COVID. I will try for May or June in southern Italy. You English is great and I hope to do well with my studies in Italian 👍🏻
@@mharrisona5526 You are welcome !! I hope you like Italy, and I am sure you will become very fluent in Italian, good luck!
My father is from Galatina, I visited Just to see his home town and was blow away by the beauty of that whole area. Don’t tell too many people though😀
Torneremo 2021 a maggio. Non vediamo l'ora!
@@mharrisona5526 i would go in the first half of june as children break up for summer mid way through june , it may get busier or more expensive when they are on holiday
I wish Salento was a hidden gem. During summer it's packed with people, one of the busiest places in south italy
You just need to avoid the July/August period and you're sorted!
You’re right, but nice things are for sharing! 🤗
I was going to say "no tourists because of covid and low season"... in summer is way too busy
That’s true. Salento might be a hidden gem to foreigners but it’s definitely not to italians... my mother is from Lecce and we used to spend our holidays there and I can definitely tell that tourism in Salento has peaked in the last few years...
So what is a true hidden gem in southern Italy?
NO TOURISTS ... in October ... from June to the end of August salento it is packed with people
Yes, Put on a pully, scarf and out to sea!!!!! LOL
But they're all Italian tourists, I think for strangers it is an unknown place respect to other Italian destinations
@@christiantonello8905 nah, october is still warm around here
The point is: Italy is the most fantastic tourist destination. The reason is that you can find everything there. Crystal water beaches in the south, wonderful mountains in the north, hills in the center, arts, history, tradition and everywhere fantastic food !!!! Each place has its own local food, completely different if you just move 50 kms.....and I agree with you....avoid the crowded destination like Venezia, Firenze, Roma.....ok...visit them, but take your time to travel out of them and find the hidden gems that are scattered all around.
Bingo. I've been to Italy twice, and yes, I've been to Venice and stayed in Milan, but our stays have been in Padova, Bologna, La Spezia, Torino, Ravenna, Parma, Mantova and Cortina. Italians know these places, but international tourists, not so much.
Cm'on what's this! Are you selling out our greatest historical, artistical, architectural cities this cheap! "Avoid them"?!?! Naaaa! There's A TON more to see and do, FOR SURE! But let's not always underrate home.
Are you Italian?
@@nni9310 yes, but I have been living abroad for the last 22 years. I go back to Italy about twice a year
@@hugolafhugolaf I am from Bologna and lived many years in Ravenna ...
As a Salentinian, thank you. This video is beautiful.
I'd suggest to come in May or September, even in October the sea is still warm. But not during the "high season" (June to August) because you'll find it jammed with tourists, beaches full of people and long queue of cars.
i hope someday to visit, had thought December or January, but, am so happy to learn May or September there are fewer tourists.
@@tomeemerson it's a bit quiet during the winter, because there's not much to do.
I love you Italy beautiful and natural beautiful clean rich country Italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 bro
Rich of sun and other amenities, not much money at the moment
@@giovaneitalia8312 sicuramente più ricca di altre nazioni
@@giovaneitalia8312 Il nord è abbastanza ricco
@@masterjunky863 il sud è altrettanto ricco o povero, se parliamo in termini di denaro, ma evasione fiscale alle stelle e tanto lavoro nero senza controlli, la criminalità organizzata spesso a braccetto con pezzi dello stato come provato dal commissariamento di tanti comuni per inquinamento mafioso e cammoristico. Chiagnene e fottene come dicono a Napoli. Se non è la gente del sud a ribellarsi alla diffusa situazione di illegalita' non so proprio chi lo dovrebbe fare, suggerisco di guardare il film l'ora legale di Ficarra e Picone che illustra con garbo e ironia il perfetto quadro della situazione in Sicilia. Disponibile anche su you tube. Se invece parliamo di ricchezze naturali direi che il sud batte il nord alla grande.
@@giovaneitalia8312 A livello paesagistico anch'io penso il sud vinca (anche se il meglio rimane il centro e anche noi al nord non siamo messi male), economicamente hai ragione tu. Purtroppo quella è una mentalità troppo diffusa in meridione, ma è anche vero che parte di questa situazione è dovuta a un'unità d'Italia fatta male.
The best beaches I've ever been too are in Aruba, in the Carribean, warm, beautiful, clear, turquois water, only steps from where you park, "Baby Beach" But we've never been to the ones's in Italy you've suggested. We hope to visit this fall, thanks for all the wonderful tips. We've been to Italy 3 times, this will be our 4th, we too love the diversity in the landscape, the people the food!
We have been there 4 Weeks in 1987 for Honeymoon. Absoloutly breathtaken.
Come back!!! 1987 😱 time for a refresh course 💫
It's true that Puglia has been a very popular destination for Italian tourists from the north for a long time now, but in recent years the secret is out and more foreigners are going there too. The Salento (southern part of Puglia) is now getting pretty well known, so next time you go I'd recommend you try the northern part of Puglia which is still more known to Italians and less to foreigners. The Gargano promontory in the north of Puglia is strewn with beautiful towns, gorgeous Adriatic coast beaches, and even less mass tourism. The food is also fantastic, for example you should definitely visit a trabucco. They are old wooden structures built on the edge of a cliff that used to be used for fishing, they look like old sail boats with big wooden masts hanging out over the sea where they lower nets down. Many were abandoned but now have been repurposed into amazing local seafood restaurants where they serve incredible food from whatever they catch, and have great outdoor seating to enjoy the views with an aperitivo. Just like all of the south, the food is remarkably inexpensive especially given you are being served the best quality seafood literally caught right there, and local produce from the surrounding farms. In a big city elsewhere in Europe you would pay ten times the price for food this good. I would recommend the Trabucco da Mimì which is near the town of Peschici, also very much worth visiting.
Thanks
Miss not being able to go to Italy! Such a great place.
😚❤ at least you absolutely deserve to take an italian kiss
Very special, let’s hope we can get back to travelling soon 🙏
I love traveling, can I make friends with you

Salento is one of the most touristy areas of Italy... Although it is mainly popular among Italians. I've spent there 2 summers, years ago. It was simply packed with tourists, but since I lived with locals, we were able to avoid the crowds. Besides, I worked in a restaurant specialised in Salento's cuisine, and those Pasticciotti ruined my health 😅
I'd say it's packed in July-August, but it is worth to visit all year round!! Home sweet home!
As an italian, i go every year in Puglia, Calabria and Campania. I really advice u to go in Tropea ( Calabria region), Ostuni (Puglia region), and Naples ( Campania region). The last one is really undervalued, but is full of history.
I have no idea why you two have not been snatched by any of the TV channels. You do your show, professionally and better than I have seen on television. Keep it going, great informative, and often humorous and certainly a pleasure watching you both. 👍
Iam a greeeeat fan from Puglia!!!!!!!! All the little towns, the villages, the secret and lonely beaches. I know Italia and i love all, but Puglia has a special charme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live in Salento and I am proud of my land💖
Lecce is called the Florence (Firenze, Tuscan, Italy) of the South of Italy.
It's not true! Gregorovius, a german historian called Lecce "the Florence of Baroque" that is quite different ;)
Being in Lecce would make me so emotional. Hard to explain why but I think I would be overwhelmed by the beauty!
What I love about you two is that your keeping it real, not putting on airs (first class all the way, give me a break) Hope you continue to grow.
This entire Italy series has been fantastic. What a pleasant surprise for it to happen during this pandemic! This area looks stunning! Your vlogs have the quality of a big production and I forget that I am watching UA-cam. This is better than anything you will find on the Travel Channel.
I can't wait anymore to Jump in Italy . 😊😊
Magic place 💫🤗
You are welcome 🏝
I love Italy and this will be my next destination, thanks so much for sharing this gem. I think once the sky is open, go to Israel and discover all the beauty of my homeland that I miss so much ( I live in France ) there are tones of hidden gems even in that tiny country, and the food ..... superb for both carnivores and vegetarians
I keep coming back to this video - one of your best films. We are now planning our own Dolomites to Puglia roadtrip, inspired by your travels. Thank you!
I love everything about this update. Everywhere is fantastic. I love exploring and seeing new places. And the food…greatness everywhere and it’s all stuff you can’t find in the states. That bread on the sandwich looked to die for. Great update Beans.
sad face, I wish I was there, love Italy. Dreaming of our return for a holiday. Will put this region on our bucket list.
I definitely recommend it!!
Em’s giggles and both your sense of humor made this video fun to watch on top of the gorgeous scenery. Definitely my next stop after the pandemic
Great video, really enjoyed it. Will visit Puglia in June for the first time so looking for as much advice and tips as possible. Thanks again
You guys are wonderful, I enjoy watching your clips, keep doing the good job you do. 🇷🇴🏴
You two are wicked awesome!!! Can't wait to watch more of your videos!!
ahhh I can't wait to explore Southern Italy😍❤️
Unspoiled and beautiful beach. Well done. Keep it up👍👍👍👍
Guys we were recommended your channel by @stephen&andie and couldn't be happier!!! You guys have instantly become one of our favorite channels. We are going back and bingeing through your old videos!!! We are on our first RV camping trip and you guys are making the nights go by sooo easy!!!
Great video. Just what I was looking for! Thanks.
Best beach I have ever been to: Francis Bay Beach, St. John, USVI. You guys are hysterical and the content is informative and entertaining...THANKS!
Another nice video. Keep it up guys
I have to say the small island of Gozo next to Malta is one of our most favourite that no one has ever recommended but is the best.
I've been to Lecce twice, both in August during their Sant'Oronzo celebration. Fantastic! On the main plaza is a modern raised stage with modern acts, while at the corner of the plaza is a sunken Roman amphitheater where the more traditional music is performed. At sunset the entire old core of the town, built from a soft creamy limestone, is hit by the light and makes the buildings look like they are carved from butter. Totally surreal. Lovely Lecce. See you next August.
I was born in Puglia, and my birthday is Oronzo
Love your video, love your style and most of all the area you have chosen.
Great energy, well done!!
Thank you so much for this video!! You made me fall in love with this amazing area of Italy! I used your video to decide where to go and you were spot on!! We loved it so much we are taking our kids back with us the next trip! Love the humor!! So funny and informative!
Just saw your video, thank you for all the tips. You're very funny, loved it!
Breath taking...
Thank you for the lovely tour of Italy
Wow! Italy is amazing! I’m in love with the places in there! Thank you for this awesome video and be safe! :)
Worth a visit 🙏💫
Wow! Stunning! We love to explore beyond the tourist areas! I also appreciate that you show the maps! Very helpful! Another fabulous video!!!!
You should visit sometime 🙏💫
Wonderful and beautiful video bro
Great video very informative! Thanks for sharing.
A great video!! Those beaches, ahhhhh!! New subscriber, looking forward to more amazing travel content!! 😀👍👍👍
Salento Is pretty famous in Italy, usually there are many italian tourists, I think that without corona you could see more people
Our Underrated place was Kintyre Peninsula in Scotland. We were the only tourists. Locals were often surprised to see us. It was so quiet and beautiful with sweeping beaches.-Shawna🍁
The beaches in the north of Scotland are easily the most beautiful in the world, many with beautiful clear green water (like Castle Varrich), and with no people on them. And contrary to popular opinion it does not rain all the time!
Thanks guys for showing my beautiful land! Super nice video!
Great video & love the way you’ve done it. Having visited Salento a few times in the past I can vouch for the beauty of this area and the people are great and friendly too! Food and Wine are must-try too! 💞
We are watching your Italy series again to fine tune our next trip and add a few more locations. We love your videos! Hello from Galena, Illinois
🇮🇹 Thank you so much ,, you really present a very nice way of getting to know places 🇳🇴
سبحان الله ..شكرا على الجولة الجميلة 😘😘
Wow! Thank you so much for this amazing video. I will be going to Lecce for one week of language and culture immersion, but I will make sure I visit all these amazing places, especially the beaches.
I read that the dark dough (of your sandwich, and perhaps that yummy pastry) comes from unrefined barley. I can't wait to eat that exact veggie sandwich. Thanks a million!
Loved the video! We live in London but my partner is from Salento and we go there every year to visit family and friends. What you have shown us is so genuine and we are glad that you introduced Salento to the world!
May I ask if you are Japanese?
Your guys are so lovely! So enjoyed your video!
Another excellent video!
You guys are quickly becoming my favorite travel vloggers, mostly because of being so funny. Nice job, guys!
Adding this one to my list. Thank you for sharing.
Loveeee your shows guys! Keep up the great videos 👍
superb tipps, thanks guys! will be there in the first two weeks of September 😍
Love your video, I watch many videos about italy 🎉
So much fun and love how you attempt Italian... Good on you... At least you tried and Alex drove ... I just thought because Emma gets car sick. Miss Italy 🇮🇹 . Food was fabulous. We have amazing beaches here in Australia 🇦🇺 too. Love from Kayleen and Mark
Really awesome video! Great locations, great presentation!! Subd
Great clip...our favourite was Lecce...we were there last year for the first time..beautiful people..we will definitely be back!
So beautiful! I was in Bari last year and loved it, considered going further south to where you went, but everyone raved about Rome, Firenze and such...... so wish I went south!! next time though :) thanks for the vid! xx
Wow....... just Wow!!!
Best beach that I have been to... Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsunday Islands.
That beach was amazing 🙏🏻👌🏽👌🏽🥰🥰
You guys are great!!
I LOVE Italy!
You make me happy. Just had to say it. SADNESS OUT!
Sold! omg, what a beautiful place. I HAVE to go there.
I love Salento and have been traveling there for years to visit friends every year. The people actually outshine the beaches
Thanks to you guys, my family and I will be going to this beach this week. Thank you.
Bosh!!! New travelbeans, that's my next 30mins or so sorted 😎
I spent a few months in Lecce and toured the Salento....it’s magnificent.....so miss it.🍷🇮🇹
Salento is rich of culture and history, with amazing seaside spots and local food.
You 2 are class. Your videos wre unique and addictive 😊 glad to have stumbled across your content 👏👏
Gorgeous scenery and it's great you're showing more of Italy than just the regular tourist trail that English speaking tourists do. The pastry pasticciotto is pronounced 'pas-CHOT-to' lots of swallowed consonants and a few blended vowels!
Guys visit polignano a mare would love to see you guys explore that place and especially the cave restaurant. It’s on my bucket list
L'Italia è bella tutta, ma la nostra Puglia, oltre che per i paesaggi, è qualcosa di speciale 😍
Salento is absolutely stunning!
Wow what an amazing gem of Italy 🩵
I have followed your channel just now. Just like you finding a gem in Italy i suppose I have found a gem channel in UA-cam. Great hidden gem great jokes and great description along the way!
Great vlog. We are off for a road trip next year. Will definitely do this one as we end up in ischia 😊
Beautiful area!! You are both the Best and I love traveling along online with you both.. Thank you..
Estou adorando todos os vídeos 🥰
I have started to follow you a few days ago and I love the way you share your trips and your laugh is so contagious!!! Thank you!!!
Agree. I've been watching Travel Beans for quite some time. They are my favorite YT channel. Welcome and keep watching.
Omg you guys are adorable & super funny 😆 I’ve only just found you because I’m heading to Puglia and you’re making me chuckle so much. Keep it going and hey you’re Famous already !!!! 💞
Loved this video!!!
Very nice video! And nice places too :) I want that sandwich now!
Just found your channel...great clips!
Thank you for this nice video!! It is now on my list of places to visit in Italy;)
Gorgeous place. Croatia have similar beaches they share the Adriatic ocean. So beautiful!
Go to Punta Aderci beach in Abruzzo too! Another jem in Italy. It's also a natural park and you can reach it only by a local bus. Crystal clear water, sand or pebbles.
So down to earth with some added humour, great video
I love your guys videos, they put me in a good mood instantly. You two are just so freakin' likeable! :D
All those places are, unfortunately, already well known. Thanks for your video and kind words. From Salento with love.
cool report! Puglia is a state of mind!
