Locals who saw me on the beach everyday came up to me eventually to introduce themselves and to chat a little, even if we didn’t speak the language. My little girl made more friends in our one month in Italy than she has ever made in Germany (and we live here!). They don’t shy away from a conversation after finding out that one doesn’t know their language, they still find a way to communicate. The people of Puglia are extremely warm, friendly, expressive, lively and most of all – approachable. I felt this the first time when I traveled to Portugal and Spain after spending a month in colder parts of Europe, and I definitely felt it in South Italy. There’s definitely something about the weather effecting the mood of the people, and it is always evident when one visits a warm country. I did mention in my earlier point about Italy’s culture and I’d like to mention how strongly it shone in front of our eyes when we saw people celebrate. San’Rocco Festival Celebration in Leverano, Puglia Believe it or not, I paid just 45 euros for a haircut & color and just 30 euros for waxing. I don’t in Germany because they are crazy expensive (and most aren’t good). Living in India, I visited salons for things like haircuts, styling, waxing, etc, monthly. Also, I will do so again even if it is a short trip because the beauty salons in Italy are amazing and ridiculously cheap. Who visits a salon on a vacation? I did because it was a month long vacation. 13) Puglia’s Beauty Salons are Awesome (and CHEAP) The Italians are known for their amazing sense of style and I found some amazing clothes even in the small town markets. Imagine my surprise when I found amazing dresses for 7 Euros and shorts for 1 Euro. I didn’t think I’d buy anything and my visit was purely for photography purposes but I came back home with 4 bags.
Guess what, there’s a weekly market in most of the towns in Puglia where one can get everything – clothes, shoes, food, household things, etc. Even though I did find flea markets in Amsterdam and vintage shops in Hamburg, but nothing was affordable at the same level as Asia. I love flea markets and handmade things, and I found a lot of amazing dresses, shoes, bags and home decor for cheap in Asia, but never in Europe. One of the things that I crib about after moving to Europe is about shopping. The most popular breakfast pastries were Pasticciotto and Cornetto.
#4 PICS 1 WORD 5 LETTERS ITALY BEACH FULL#
I love how the cafes are full every morning till mid noon with people who visit for early to late breakfast. Italy with its elaborate meals has somehow a simple breakfast – pastry with coffee.
You know what goes well with coffee? Breakfast of course. I loved having my coffee in this form on some days.
