    Matera – What to see and best belvedere

    During our recent holiday in Puglia, we decided to take a short trip to Matera.

    Apulia – Puglia?

    Quite often I receive the question…How should I call your region? Puglia or Apulia? My quick answer would be Puglia. Let’s male some clarity!

Indeed the region is lacking in lakes and rivers. Other theories affirm that its name means “land without mountains” or “land densely populated”. Another theory is that it derives from the Greek word Iapudes which means “those living on the other side of the Adriatic Sea”. So different theories around the name…
