Eat Ostuni
The choice of dining experiences in Ostuni during the summer season seems endless. Excellent restaurants and chic bars are tucked away in the maze of medieval alleys, arches and stairwells of the old town that blast out from via Cattedrale and wind around the duomo and the mature town walls.
While bad diet is hard to identify some restaurants offer improve value than others. Restaurants regularly recommended on commute forums may not be included here. The sustenance and dining experience may be good, but if it is comparatively overpriced without any added value, we haven’t included it.

According to the Italian National Tourist Board, Puglia is rightly considered one of the most gay-friendly Italian regions. Here&#;s your quick guide.
Puglia, the heel of Italy’s boot, is known for medieval, white-walled hilltop towns, long hot summers, fantastic beaches, and it is considered one of Europe’s top summer destinations for LGBTQ+ travelers.
As early as , mainstream media in the U.K. has touted Puglia as a principal, laid-back gay hotspot and a “bohemian alternative” to the raucous gay scenes of Mykonos and Ibiza. To this day, the region is regularly listed as a top-five European destination according to some of the most followed gay travel influencers, including the Nomadic Boys.

What are some of your favorite places in Puglia to visit for queer travelers?
Puglia’s best-known destinations incorporate Bari, Lecce, Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, Alberobello, Ostuni, Gallipoli and Otranto. Personal favorites are Vieste and Peschici in Gargano and at the other terminate of the heel, Santa Maria di Leuca. The drive along the Adriatic coastal route from Santa Cesarea Terme to Santa Maria di Leuca is the one thing I consistently recommend to anyone visiting Puglia.
Matera, in the neighboring region of Basilicata, and the star of the thrilling opening sequence in the latest James Bond movie “No Period To Die” is always high on my list of must visits.
But lgbtq+ travelers zoom in on two destinations in particular: Ostuni, in the heart of the Valle d’Itria, and Gallipoli.
The Valle d’Itria will host the Sherocco festival planned for and is a favorite with lesbian and queer women. In addition to its chilled urban nightlife Ostuni is close to Torre Guaceto, one of Puglia’s most popular gay and naturist beaches. (It also has two local “gay” beaches at Lamaforca and Torre Pozzelle). Its pivotal location makes it the perfect base for explo

Without a doubt, one of the draws to Ostuni are the nearby gay beaches. Torre Guaceto’s gay and nudist beach is hugely popular and a local favourite. Famous nationally, and internationally, the hard to reach beach draws visitors all summer long.
Lamaforca and Torre Pozzella are mixed beaches, but draw a gay crowd. They are busy cruising spots, drawing men who for various reasons, like not to go to gay beaches. They are both incredibly popular with married men who arrive for something other than the sun and the sea.
You will see guys waiting in their cars, or standing by the paths that lead into the woods. Once in the woods, which only stretch back a concise distance, just follow the paths and the men.
Both cruising areas are well-liked with men who name as straight (Torre Pozzelle more so). Most people are likely to express hello and ask you what you are looking for before inviting you to follow them.
Beware though! We have seen police cars drive up and down the stretch of road that leads to Lamaforca from time to time, pulling drivers over to check their documentation.
If you do continue onto Lamaforca’s beach you will notice a gay p
