Best Places in Puglia, Italy. Pretty Nardò 🇮🇹 Beach Town & Baroque Jewel in Salento Apulia.

Nardò, Italy. Nardo in Puglia Italy is one of Puglia’s best hidden gems. If you’re looking for best places in Italy, Nardò is a beautiful, authentic baroque jewel in Apulia. Come on this Puglia travel guide to find Nardo on the west coast of Puglia’s southern region called Salento, served by the Bari airport and the Brindisi airport. This hidden gem being a little off the beaten path, Nardò has somewhat escaped mass tourism. In this Italy travel vlog you’ll visit one of the best places to see Piazza Salandra the lively heart of Nardo where people mingle in bars and cafes among baroque churches, statues and municipal buildings. In this Italy travel vlog we also pass by the castle and wander the lovely maze of streets. We can absolutely see why Nardo is known in Puglia as the miniature Lecce. You’ll even see a theater built in 1900 and engineered by a Quentino Tarantino! Our Italy slow travel means our Puglia travel goes a little deeper to discover more of the best things to do in Puglia. The city limits of Nardó also touch the coast where in 15 minutes drive our Puglia travel vlog takes you to some of Puglia best beaches especially if you like protected coves with turquoise water right next to restaurants and bars. Hidden gem Nardò also has Puglia’s Porto Selvaggio, wild and rocky and criss-crossed with hiking trails down to pools of turquoise water. Nardo’s Apulia charm is most on show in its two tiny hamlets at the beach, Santa Catarina and Santa Maria al Bagno. A great pleasure and one of the best things to do in Puglia Italy is to eat local food at a beachside restaurant. In Santa Maria we liked Ristorante La Pergola. Delicious, quality dishes prepared to traditional recipes in generous portions at fair prices. And super friendly, attentive, and experienced staff who deliver the epitome of Italian hospitality. In this Puglia vlog you’ll also get a quick look at Cenate, a wealthy suburb, with imposing villas. Although it's not undiscovered we think Nardo is a hidden gem and one of the best places in Puglia. While more humble and laid back compared to popular places in Puglia like Polignano a Mare, Ostuni, Otranto and Lecce. If you’re looking for something authentic, near the beach where people are really nice, we thing you’ll enjoy Nardo, Salento’s hidden gem.
