Anto in Puglia

About Anto in Puglia

Ciao, I’m Anto in Puglia — your local accomplice for getting gloriously lost in the best corners of southern Italy, but with style, snacks, and a suspiciously good sense of direction. I’m based in Monopoli and spend my time orbiting the gems of Puglia and beyond: Polignano a Mare, Alberobello, Locorotondo, Fasano, Bari, Martina Franca, Savelletri, Lecce, Trani, Barletta, Gioia del Colle, and even Matera — because apparently one postcard-worthy town was not enough. I speak Italian, English, Spanish, and French, which means I can explain history, food, architecture, and local quirks in several languages, and judge bad gelato choices in all of them. My ideal day includes beautiful streets, sea views, hidden corners, excellent food, a bit of culture, and avoiding anything that smells too much like a tourist trap. I love creating experiences that feel personal rather than rehearsed: city walks, historical routes, architectural gems, countryside escapes, food tastings, night tours, family-friendly adventures, photography spots, street culture, legends, and all the little details that make a place feel alive instead of merely photographed. If you want someone who can help with custom routes, local tips, tastings, travel arrangements, photos, and the kind of recommendations people usually pretend they “just found,” I’m your person. Come for Puglia, stay because leaving is emotionally inconvenient.
