Hello. Im doing a 13 day trip in Puglia. Im arriving September 1.9. in Bari with my girlfriend with car ferry so I have a car.
Originally planned 4 nights Monopoli, 4 nights Lecce, 4 nights Gallipoli but now im second guessing another option that would put me closer to Bari because i have ferry leaving on Bari (already visited Bari before so wont be staying there). And wanted to see what people think of this itinerary.
Maybe instead of starting in Monopoli, start in Lecce and stay for 4 days for the city vibe plus day trips to east coast. Then move to galipoli for another 4 days (beach time, relax, sunsets, dancing). Finish with 4 days at a masseria with pool near Ostuni to wind down, visiting Ostuni itself plus day trips to Alberobello and monopoli/Polignano
My questions would be
is Monopoli worth staying over these other options or is it fine for a daytrip
Should i stay in Otranto instead of Galipoli?
If i would do 4 places 3 nights instead of 3 places for 4 nights where should i stay? Debating what is better and if 4 places is too much packing unpacking
Looking for advice and if this itinerary makes sense. Thanks for any help.
