Puglia, Italy's best coast, tops tourists' lists.

Where to go on vacation? Puglia is the queen of summer 2022: clean sea and a favorite destination for Italian vacationers

The trend of recent years has been fairly clear, but the fact that this is a prosperous period for Puglia is now a certainty involving several aspects.

First and foremost, according to the results of the analyses conducted by "Goletta Verde" (Legambiente), our sea appears to be in excellent health, with 99% of our waters registering "excellent for bathing" , making Puglia the best coastal region in Italy in this regard. Curious to discover the town in the Bari area that has received this important recognition? The unmissable Polignano a Mare (20 minutes from Bari, the capital of Puglia) .

Furthermore, a new survey, this time conducted by SWG on behalf of Confcommercio, reveals another very interesting piece of news that confirms what we've already seen recently: Puglia remains the favorite destination for those who decide to stay in Italy for the holidays (a full 9 out of 10 Italians) , with 44% of them opting for the sea , beaches , and beautiful Apulian villages (especially in the Itria Valley) .

A ranking that once again sees Puglia in the lead, proclaimed queen of summer. Following Puglia are the Romagna Riviera, Tuscany, and Sicily.
