Sailing to Apulia

A map of the best ports and anchorages

The coast of Apulia

Greek settlers first made their homes here, drawn by the region’s fertile soil and access to the sea. They built monumental cities, and although much of their legacy has faded, traces still remain. The Romans took over, and Apulia’s coastline became a critical part of the Via Appia, a road that once connected Rome to Brindisi, the gateway to the East. The cobbled remains of this ancient path still snake through olive groves, a reminder of the region’s importance in the Roman Empire.
