Are Puglia and Salento difficult to explore?
Puglia is predominantly flat, making it ideal for easy walking. However, it's worth noting that some walking holidays in Puglia, especially along the Salento Coastal Path, require good stability due to their unpaved and uneven terrain.
What is the best time to embark on a walking trip in Amalfi Coast?
Spring (April-June) and autumn (September-October) are ideal times for these regions, thanks to the pleasant weather and fewer crowds. November is generally still nice, with warm temperatures. Summer can be very hot and is generally very busy.
What kind of landscapes can I expect while hiking in Puglia?
It depends on the kind of walking holiday that you choose - the Salento Coastal Path is your typical coastal walk with great views over the sea and beautiful coastal villages. The Way to Matera - or Via Materana - runs across inland Puglia, so you'll find small villages, olive groves, pastures and paths covered in wild flowers. Matera is a stunning place with two troglodyte districts with houses made of stone and a look similar to the Holy Land.
