Epic Stays
by Hannah D. Cooper Jun 2, 2023

The crystal clear waters and balmy temperatures of the Mediterranean are beckoning. Swap the crowded Amalfi Coast for Italy’s underrated yet phenomenal Adriatic shoreline. The secret seashore of Marina di Ostuni, Puglia, preserves a diverse wetlands and dunes ecosystem with a lido for every day of your vacation. Even if you opt for accommodation in the White Town, you’re looking at a 10-minute drive from Ostuni to the closest beach. Rent a car, slap on the sunscreen, and check into one of these dreamy Puglia Airbnbs near Ostuni’s beaches, including trulli rentals, cave dwellings, and oceanview apartments.
