Discover Puglia on a journey through Apulia’s ancient landscapes, historic towns, and rich southern Italian traditions in support of the Epworth Medical Foundation. Travel through Puglia, the sun-drenched region at the heel of Italy’s boot. Known for its whitewashed villages, olive groves rolling to the sea, and a rich cultural heritage shaped by centuries of history, Puglia offers a slower, more authentic side of Italy.

This immersive fundraising trip blends purpose with exploration, as you walk coastal trails, visit UNESCO World Heritage towns, and savour the regional cuisine.
