Bari is a Puglian port city on the Adriatic — the gateway to Greece and Albania by ferry, and the best base for exploring Puglia: UNESCO Trulli at Alberobello, the white city of Ostuni, Matera (Basilicata), and Orecchiette pasta made on old-town streets. Bari Vecchia is one of Southern Italy's most authentic old towns.
