In this Italy travel guide video, we show you why you must visit Puglia and some of the best things to do in Italy. After our Salento travel vlogs we headed to a different part of Apulia. We had no idea you could swim in ancient ruins here - a new MUST DO in Italy and definitely one of Italy's best beaches. We visit the picturesque towns of Polignano a Mare and Ostuni. As well as the biblical cave town of Matera. We also sample some of the local food, including a traditional Italian snack of frise, prosecco, and olives! This day was definitely the highlight of our south Italy travel vlog series so far!

Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy.

I m italian from puglia ,,and i really love YOU guys! ❤
Matera is not in Apulia, it's just across the border in the Basilicata region. Next time you come ,make sure you spend at least a couple of days in Matera, it's absolutely mindblowing.
Matera si trova in Basilicata.
So so jealous! You guys are well and truly underrated! Fun, adventurous and completely down to earth! Please don't change when you become huge (which you will). Far to many travel youtubers end up in high end hotels and restaurants which the majority of us can never afford.
Thanks so much Hayley! I don't think I could ever change Alex 😂 (although when we can actually afford to go to fancy places and get his honest reviews of their food, that will be a funny day!)
Never try, you pair are an incredible couple to watch. With growing popularity will come the high end offers and by all means lap them up (i know i would). I just plead with you to keep exploring and have budget weeks 😊
I absolutely love watching you two traveling, especially in my favorite country, Italy. You two find the everyday places that can make life so great. Greetings from the Rhineland in Germany.
It’s the only place in the world that hanging laundry looks good! Only in italy😊
I don't suppose I could talk the two of you into staying in Italy and covering nothing but places like this for a couple of months? Given the news cycle here in the US currently, you two are a lifeline of sorts. Somewhere out there, there's still the simple pleasure of walking down the street in a beautiful place.
I’ll do it. My husband, best friend & I will be making a 22 day tour of Greece & Italy & would love to cover it & stay.
I agree. They've taken us to places that you just don't see on TV.
Speaking as an American who has been to Polignano a Mare and other wonderful seaside towns in Puglia--I completely agree, and yearn to be able to live in a place like Polignano. Trani, on the other side of Bari, is another amazingly beautiful, medieval coastal town.
@@kittensmitten4015which is more beautiful italy or greece
Next time you should (MUST) VISIT Craco, in the southern region of Basilicata, an abandoned medieval hilltop town now almost left in ruins! It's spectacular and very scenic for a video!
It's like the medieval version of the roman forum!
On youtube there are some videos you can check!
:D
What a fantastic series guys!! Italy is a remarkable country and we are so glad that on this particular trip - you decided to film! Your happiness has been contagious and certainly put a smile on our faces. So happy for you guys! Keep the travels coming 😁
I’ve been to Italy for a two-week trip and thought I did a bunch of research before picking our locations but after watching your Italy series I’m questioning if I actually did! Where were all of these beautiful places in my research! Guess I’ll have to go back. Thanks for the videos and recommendations.
Guys you’ve really made us wanna go to Italy with this series. We’ve only spent a couple of days in Italy on our hitchhiking journey from Thailand to Spain 3 years ago and saw only a tiny bit of the north. Thanks for sharing this 😊
the scenery of sassi just blows me away. I love such historical place and it just reminds me lots of epic game scene, so surreal and fascinating
I love this series. I got to go to Italy a few years ago and I want to go back one day. Matera is on my list now! Thank You so much for the video!
I am absolutely loving this Italy series! So unexpected considering the travel difficulties that are going on right now. I follow several travel vloggers, most of whom are your friends, and I have not seen anybody go to these hidden gems in the southeast of Italy. These places are stunning! And I have never heard of them before now! Bravo Travel Beans, Bravo! 👏👏
The resemblance is uncanny to Weston-Super-Mare! 🤣🤣
Loved that area you toured in this vlog. Would love to have seen more of south as it’s on our bucket list now.
Hey, you MUST go to Sicily
Could not agree more.
1) I'm mad enough to prefer pebbles over sand
2) the difference between Frisa and Bruschetta is in the way you prepare and cook/serve the bread
3) Bruschetta's pronunciation for brits: broos-ketta
4) My favourite part of your Italian trip so far was seeing you making pizza
Thanks Rahel! Making pizza was definitely in my top moments.. So much fun and so tasty!!
And thanks for the info! I've definitely been pronouncing bruschetta wrong this entire trip 🤦♀️😂 so thanks for the help!
Volevo anche dire riguardo la broos-ketta. And I'm not italian.
My favourite part of Italy was getting back to the French Riviera, my favourite Italian meal was that Burger King I had in Naples, The nicest people I met in Italy were Spanish and Pizza is overrated.
@@johnc3403 lol
@@RussellChapman99 Not Italian, but you definitely know the language!
Italy indeed is everything. Such a beautiful place. Puglia, Italy is a perfectly safe choice for one of the best.
I've loved all of this series so far and can't wait for more! You could easily imagine you've time traveled to biblical Matera - probably hasn't changed much. Those kinds of places give me chills. And swimming in those ancient ruins, unreal. Then the simple, lovely food with a glass of in the beautiful city center - just can't beat it :)
Thanks Susan 😊 Italy is such a fun place to travel.. It blows my mind that there were people stood in the same spot as me, thousands of years ago, living their lives..
Have been to Italy several times, but I have always stuck to the large "popular" cities. This series has inspired me to visit (perhaps even trace your route) smaller coastal towns, and not make any plans whatsoever. Thank you for the videos and the entertainment. You both bring something different to the videos.
If you happen to travel in July-August or around Easter, it's better off planning in advance since most places could be fully booked. Out of those periods, I guess you can have a wonderful experience also roaming around without planning much in advance.
I think you guys are my favorite travel couple. My family and I travel internationally three times a year and I love the style of your videos, they give me all the information and entertainment : ) I need!! Planning an Italy trip in Sept and I feel like I hit the jackpot on your videos. Thank you!!
We visited Puglia in 2018 and prebooked (in Oct 2017) our spot at Grotta Palazzese in beautiful Polignano a Mare. To say the least the experience was Amazing, the ambience, the food, the view, the surroundings and I'm pleased to report they are not pretentious at all. There were couples, private party group, groups of 4-6 seated all around up and downstairs in the grotto. A tip its cheaper at lunchtime and if you go at night book the second seating so you can stay as long as you want. Polignano a Mare has everything, historic centre, beaches, grottos and as beautiful as it looks. We stayed 5 nights at Sassi di Matera and recommend it highly especially if you are a historic buff. Thank you for bringing these wonderful memories to us. Our trip this year was cancelled and we are living it through your videos :)
I have seen some videos and pictures of that restaurant in the caves and it looks amazing! That city is beautiful! Love the contract between the white and cream colored buildings with the super blue sky and water! Thanks for sharing :)
We are loving this series!!! You have changed our itinerary for our next trip to Europe! I’ll be using these vlogs for our planning! April 2021 Italy here we come! Thank you guys!!!
Awesome 🤩 you will have a blast.
John and Cara, we italians wait for you next year! ❤️
@@maty68mp thank you! We cannot wait! 😀
Sorry for my faulty english.
Thank you for your great videos about Apulia. I've always wanted to go to the south of Italy, but couldn't convince my wife. But after seeing your videos about Puglia, she really wants to go on vacation to Polignano. Thanks a lot for this. I'm looking forward to many new videos from you after Corona
thank you for publicising Puglia! my boyfriend and I got there every year (he is italian) and it is the most undiscovered gem of the entire country. i watch these videos when i miss my second home :') thankyou both and safe travels.
I agree, my boyfriend is actually from the region. I fell in love with it this summer and can't wait to move there to be with him.
That water is so blue, we’ve been to Venice and Verona but really want to see the rest of the country, it looks so beautiful.
From now on Alex when people ask me where I’m from I’ll be telling them “Weston-super-Maaree” 😄
Binge watching your videos!!! What an absolutely amazing couple, energy and content! Keep the amazing work up. Love from Saudi Arabia.
Honestly Thank you for the beautifully done content and for showing me some hidden parts of my country
Keep the great work up and I would be happy to welcome you to Venice next time.
Much love x
Wow! The ancient ruins were amazing! What a great find! Again, such a great video with awesome music, voice overs, and filming! 🙏🏻💕
Oh we're so glad we found you!! Our plan is to be in Italy later this 2021 (fall) and getting to watch your videos on the places we have on our list.....well, really makes us want to go now!! In love with you guys and looking forward to binge watching your videos! Stay safe and happy travels!
Me! I love snorkelling 🤿 so stoney beaches are awesome for that!! That place looks gorgeous - when possible I’m so going!! Thanks guys 👍😊🙏
I’m pleased that you have won the essence of a trip to Italy and all the turists should have your experience
What an amazing location! Thank you for sharing!
I’ve just discovered you two and I’m addicted! You make such brilliant content. I’m going to make notes and visit all these places. Thank you!!!!!
Ok, I have to admit that my favourite is Calette di Torre Cintola. What a beautiful place. You guys are so lucky!!! Good for you Alex. Se cuidan chicos. Adiós 🤗.
I'm loving the whole Italy series. Too hard to choose a favourite but this one was pretty epic.... And awesome drone footage.
Making the pizza and your beautiful airb&b with the stone towers that was so beautiful
But really your whole series from Germany to italy has be absolutely a fantastic 😜🥰
What a great series, definitely put SE Italy on the visit list for us!
So glad RUclips brought up your channel for me when this video posted, really enjoying all your videos. This one caught my attention because I recognized Polignano a Mare from the photo and it's on my list, for a trip that will also include Matera for several days, just looks unlike anything else. Maybe you'll be able to go back and spend more time there!
Beautiful places, thanks for showing us.
Wow. Again... What a wonderful episode!!! South Italy series is now officially my favourite one!!! Beats even You Two drunk in Wroclaw when I had so much fun of watching You!!!
Love that you guys got to cover this region of Italy it’s so beautiful ❤
Went to the ruins beach today on your recommendation, absolutely loved it. Looking forward to trying more of your beach finds when we head to Salento next week.
I’m addicted to your channel, great video quality, great content!
Thanks for sharing and I’m praying you two get to revisit the cave restaurant!
Absolutely stunning places. Loved the filming.
Thank you Terence!
Wow really extraordinary place to explore. Very well presented. I really appreciate your hard work. I would say mind blowing. 👌👍❤️
Thanks guys.. This place is easy to make look good 😂
Well done! Lovely video!
I was OBSESSED with laundry lines while in Venice. So good! I saved this vlog, because this is my kind of travelling...
This is the most fun and also practical travel channel. Good job.
loved it great clip thanks for sharing it
Amazing stuff !
Bellissimo!! 👌🏼😋
Great video!! love it when we can make travel video's! cant wait till we can travel again and make some travel video's
I love your authentic content! 💪🏻
I haven’t seen much of eastern Italy in other travel vlogs. Looks like a great place to visit. Thanks for the excellent views..
Great Video! I travel to every single country in the world for RUclips. I wait to see your next video! ☀️☀️
Wow!!! Absolutely beautiful ....
We’re heading to Lecce on Friday and now I’m CRAZY excited ❤
Like you, my favorite spots were Lecce and the ruins beach. Breathtaking scenery. That vista from the Largo Ardito viewpoint of the caves under Polignano a Mare was gorgeous. Although, your visits to many quiet (no vehicle traffic) towns were also very refreshing. I also enjoyed your stay at the Trullo. You've definitely placed Italy on my bucket list. Thanks Alex and Emma. ♥
Thanks Dan! It's definitely a good one to have on your bucket list! So happy to hear you're enjoying the series! Thanks for the lovely comments, as always 💛💛💛
you guys are awesome- loved this video
Puglia is wonderful
It's all beautiful!
Just catching up with all your videos. Man Italy has been the best yet! You guys rock! Travel Beans, do you think you'll go back???.
I enjoyed all video from South. Im Italian from South and Im proud to see in a funny way amazing sightseen of My regione Puglia, and all parts of italy u visited and really appreciated. Tnk for Your Point of view
Fabulous! ALL just fabulous!!
Great video😁 thanks for sharing
I'm looking forward to your arrival in my part of Northern Italy. In the meantime, I'm getting travel ideas for later this year.
Wow this is truly amazing and never knew that it can be done in Italy, have to plan visiting this place soon
THIS is the video that got me to decide to go to Puglia after researching and researching of where we should stay. We leave in just over a month to go! Wanted to come here and say thanks guys! Loved all your Italy video so much I watched them mulitple times. BEANS!!!!
I live on the west coast of Sardinia, which hosts one of the most desirable beaches known to the island, Is Arutas. It is a "pebble" beach, not in that it is rocky, but that the sand is little rice shaped/sized grains of quartz! They are smooth, and colorful, and an absolute marvel. Every year, tourists are fined thousands of euros for trying to steal the "sand", it's THAT beautiful! Anyway, after going to a beach where the "sand" just rolls off of your body, I'm spoiled, and despise sandy beaches where everything clings and sticks and gets mucked up into your lotions and oils. Don't hate on pebbly beaches just yet, until you've experienced them all!
Frisa is more like a rusk. The frisa gets soften by soaking in salted water before topping with tomatoes, salt, olive oil & oreganum. My grandparents told me that when they were kids taking dry frisas to the beach and use the sea water to soak was very common.
Nice video!!! Born and grew up in the places you filmed... grazie
good advice more than a day in Matera and do include a Cave stay..the place is magical at night. It is so unique. We visited each spot in this video and was struck by the quiet streets...I assume this was during Covid and maybe not long ago judging by the rain? Anyway Puglia is a must see. Thanks for the memories.
Beautiful! Conjugal love forever ... Inspiring couple😊
I never had any interest in going to Italy until now! Swimming in the ruins was too cool. Oh, huge thumbs up on the filming and editing of your videos. Totally top shelf.
Hello guys! Thanks so much for showing us these places and for being so authentically you!!! What month did you visit ? The weather looks gorgeous!
What wonderful places !!!! thanks.
Loved it all
You both are so nice and funny, love this video, know all the area, I am a brazilian and have been living in Italy since 2003. I have lived in Matera (BASILICATA, not PUGLIA) for 15 years....and knwo all the small cities in Puglia you've been. You got it, it'is so special! Thank you for this lovely video about Southern Italy among tons of boring ones I have watched till now in other channels!
We don't usually comment on these videos but you guys are just so cute that we have to give it a thumbs up!!
Adore you 2 guys. Keep it up.
Very nice and informative
Went to Cisternino in May 2019, it rained 5 days out of 7, stayed in a trullo with a fireplace, just as well, we needed it. Would like to go in June and hopefully the weather would be better. Nice place despite the rain ,, mi amo Italia
This is the best of your Italian series so far. Emma please keep Alex in check by not telling him that he's right often 🤔🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the great work guys 😃
Polignano! I used to live and work there! In the 1980s. My parents had a bodega there for many years. My family still live in Italy - they live in Conversano which is very near to Polignano. Have you been there? Or passed by it? Grotta Palazzese is the restaurant in the cave. I attended a wedding there! I moved back to the states many years ago. Oh the memories - thank you for sharing your adventures in my old stomping ground!!!!
Subscribed 😊If I may suggest, definitely some places in central Italy: Civita di Bagnoregio, Lago del Turano (Lazio), Pitigliano, Terme di Saturnia (Tuscany), Orvieto, Spello, Rasiglia (Umbria), Civitella del Tronto (Abruzzo), Grottammare Alta (Marche). But at the end of the day, even the smallest village has something beautiful to offer in Italy (foreign people just don't know all of them)😉
Bel video, complimenti! ,>
Thanks all the advice!
Loving your videos.
Those places are not “secret”! everyone in Italy knows it and I can’t understand why visitors, especially from the US doesn’t know their existence. Puglia is my region of origin, but all the south of Italy offers paradise beaches, archeological sites, arts, amazing food and beautiful towns where especially in the evening on summer the atmosphere is unique.
I think most first time travelers always focus on the major spots like Rome, Florence and Venice. I don't think I have ever met any first time travelers that are willing to skip out of those other major sites for the south of Italy and unfortunately, many will only be able to travel once to Italy. There are so many lovely areas in Italy to see and the south is most definitely a must for us, so after a few years of saying we need to travel there, we finally booked our holiday for next year in June and cannot wait to explore this spectular region. 3 nts in Martina Franca and 3 nts in Lecce. From there, we are heading to Tropea for some relaxing time at the beach.
Have you been to Orvieto? Thats then one I stumbled upon by chance. Go see the duomo. The facade i fantastic but the paintings on the walls and the ceilings in one of the chappels inside are breathtaking. It is said that these inspired Michelangelo before he made his version in the Vatican.
Orvieto is half way between Rome and Florence, close to the main motorway.
No but it looks gorgeous! Thanks for the recommendation! 🙏
Also check out St. Patrick's well in Orvieto
Make a short trip Orvieto Sienna and Assisi. All lovely even lakes nearby like Lake Bolsena
If you plan to see Orvieto (really great city) you can complete the area with cities built on "tufo" rock, visiting Civita di Bagnoregio, Pitigliano, Sorano and Sovana. Civita di Bagnoregio, as Orvieto, is worldwide famous, but Pitigliano area is not so popular outside Italy, but really dramatic
Loved it.👍
Paradise
Hi guys!
Your videos are awesome! 😃 I watched some while eating lunch. (I had beans.)
I came from the endless adventure. 🙃
Greetings from Germany!
Fun view point. Thanks to "Stephen and Andie" for recommending your vlogs!
I visit Weston Super Super Mare regularly , it is a lovely place.
You two are great!
We literally had to be in Polignano at the same time. Isn’t it gorgeous? Lovely vlog, glad you love Puglia and no worries, we can’t pronounce half of Italian stuff :))
It sure has 👍 Enjoy the beauty of Italy! 💚🤍❤
Love the hearts - what a great idea!
I watched the videos with the spectaculars beach cities at Puglia, bu I hadn't see anything about Trani, near Matera, where my italian family live. It us so beautiful too. I had the opportunity to go once to Weston beach at U.K. and is perfectly understandable your astonishing state in Puglia! haha!
