Exploring Brindisi
With its port opening out into the Adriatic Sea, Brindisi has been a gateway to the east and a land of conquest for centuries, changing hands between the Romans, Ostrogoths, Lombards and kings of Sicily. While the city was the country’s provisional seat of government during the Second World War, life in contemporary Brindisi moves at a pleasantly leisurely pace.
Architecture lovers can saunter through historic squares and admire the Renaissance-style Palazzo Granafei-Nervegna or the sweeping archways supporting the Porta dei Cavalieri Templari, a relic from the times of the Knights Templar. A single Roman column at the top of a sun-whitened stairway marks the start of the Via Appia, which leads all the way to the capital, Rome.
The market on the corner of Via Pace Brindisina and Via Santa Maria Ausiliatrice is a bustling hub of locally cooked and freshly sourced produce, and the restaurants here offer excellent samples of the province’s fresh mussels, white fish and prawns. Walk off your lunch with a potter along the lungomare (seafront) for views of the sparkling marina, dotted with rustic fishing boats and shiny yachts.
Sun-worshippers won’t be disappointed. Protected nature reserve Torre Guaceto in nearby Carovigno is regarded as one the country’s most attractive white sandy stretches. With your Avis hire car, the entirety of Puglia’s 800km-long coastline is easily accessed. After Sardinia and Sicily, this is Italy’s lengthiest.
Beyond Brindisi
Referred to as the ‘granary of Italy’, many travel to Puglia’s gently rolling hills, olive groves and vineyards simply for the food and views. The balmy south of Italy is all about indulging in hearty meals, roaming through farmer’s fields and following the glimmering Adriatic until it merges with the Ionian further south.
Discover the Florence of the east, aka neighbouring township Lecce, just 40 minutes away from Brindisi. Here, characterful churches and ancient structures, including its grandiose amphitheatre, are the main sights. Head to the cathedral city of Ostuni and lose yourself in its white-washed Old Town, peppered with quaint trattoria and artisan shops and guarded by Sant’Oronzo’s column.
The wider region of Puglia is home to an array of geographical wonders, including the pink salt mines of Margherita di Savoia, dramatic rocky canyons in Castellaneta and the shimmering Alimini Lakes. Visit each of these striking locations with your Avis hire car from Brindisi Airport.
The moment you arrive at your location, we’ve got you covered. Whether you fancy a cute compact for an urban jaunt, an elegant saloon for a business trip or a spacious people carrier for a family holiday, your perfect vehicle is standing by.
