We visited the land of Trulli while enroute from Lecce to Rome on the last day of our 3 week swing through Malta, Sicily and Puglia. Drove though the town, past the Trulli area, then looked for parking. Wasn't clear to us which of the lots nearby were available to visitors. Ended up parking near the bus terminus some distance...

This is among the most most unusual towns that you will ever see. Expected to find gnomes or the Seven Dwarfs whistling down the road. More

Take your camera an get photos of something you will not see elsewhere. Make sure to wear a good pair of hiking shoes as the roads are steep and the cobbled stones are not easy to walk on. Try and either research before you go or go with a guide as the history and explanations are so vey interesting. Lovely... More

Blue skies, white buildings and beautiful quiet streets mean that it is an absolute pleasure to walk around this serene World Heritage Site. I've read reviews that have said it is a bit of a tourist-trap, and to be fair, we came across quite a few coaches' worth of school kids on the first afternoon we arrived, but once they... More

Alberobello was a very interesting place. I was not aware of the Trulli's until in Italy. The buildings are built from rock, the city centre is mostly all white in color. Alberobello is on the way to Bari and is worth a stop. The homes are simple, yet elegant in design. More

Nice to visit, but not really authentic; every second trulli is a souvenir shop. Already out of season many tourists. More

Alberobello is an old village, a unique place due to his buildings called Trulli. Trulli are usually a round construction with very thick wall, more than 1 meter and a half, with conic roof (see the picture). More
