Most of the travel guides recommend all the places that can be seen in a country or region. While it is good to know about every place and chose few from the list, it also makes some worried about the lack of time to see all those place. So here is my new experiment for a travel guide with clear itinerary detailing on what to do every day and in what sequence. – Maheshwaran Jothi
Usually, travelogues tell of one individual’s journey. Maheshwaran’s Puglia – Hidden Treasures of Italy, is a lot more extensive than what usually travelogues are. It is not about chasing the destination and rush it out on a holiday, but it is about soaking in the place just like one of the locals and enjoy the journey.
In this book, the author has shared all about Pugalia which is in the south of Italy and is one of the often-ignored regions of this European country. The book gives a 3 day itinerary of what all can be done in Puglia which is a treasure trove of art, history, and nature. There’s information on how to reach and where to stay in Puglia. The book focuses on 10 interesting places to see in Pugalia. These are Lecce, Ostuni, Cisternino, Locorotondo, Alberobello, Brindisi, Gallipolli, Leuca, Otranto and Torre del’Orso.
Maheshwaran has provided vivid descriptions, historic and factual information that gives insights about the daily-life, culture, architecture and history of the attractions at all these places. The pictures add to the charm and appeal of all these places.
So, if you are visiting Italy, you just need to read this guide to make sure you get the most out of your trip to the incredible hidden treasures that you will find in Puglia.

Well, the author isn’t wrong. This really is a place I have never heard of. Even by Italian football club standards, I don’t know this name 🙂
Thanks for sharing this, Shilpa. Kudos to the author for such an interesting book. Would love to visit this place once in my life time.
Interesting place to travel. Thanks for sharing.
That’s a great way to travel. Every country has so many hidden treasures that don’t make it to the typical touristy destinations. Knowing about them and having an itinerary for them is wonderful.
I like to read travelogues. Some best described ones take you to the place through their writing only. The description turns out to be so real and fascinating
I have never visited Italy but heard it’s very beautiful. Sometimes there are many places which are unknown to most of the tourists but they are the hidden treasures.
This definitely is a hidden gem. I would love to visit Puglia someday
Sounds a great book, I have been to Puglia and cannot agree more than this. The beauty of this place is mesmerizing.
