Puglia weather & best time to visit

We believe the best time to see Puglia is in the spring as it's a colourful vibrant region thanks to its Mediterranean climate and is generally warm. Late April to early May sees the emergence of some spectacular scenery with endless fields of gorgeous wild flowers, in particular the red poppies can dominant the landscape. It averages 300 days of sun annually and therefore ensures some stunning picture postcard scenery.

Puglia is currently a trendy hot-spot and for that reason property prices are high peak season where demand is higher. If you are not able to get away from the school holidays then a good possibility is the end of August as prices tend to be a little lower than end of July to mid-August.

We visited in late September and were amazed at just how wonderful the weather was. Beach days are shorter than the height of summer but with plenty of days breaching 28C we had ample opportunity to top up our tans, and bar one stormy day in Gallipoli, never had to change our plans because of bad weather.

And whilst the winter months certainly require a jumper or two (our second visit was mid-March), you'll still be able to enjoy most of what the region is famous for - just with a little more time to discover pretty little towns rather than secluded coves.
