For most people visiting Puglia, Brindisi is merely a point of arrival and departure, thanks to its being home to one of Puglia’s two main airports. But if you’re staying in the area, or are looking for somewhere to spend a few hours before catching your flight home, Brindisi is worth a visit.
Like many of the other towns on Puglia’s Adriatic coast, Brindisi’s history is inextricably linked to the lands that lie across the sea to the east.
Today it is the major departure point for car ferries loaded with tourists heading to Greece and the Balkans, but during Greek and in particular Roman times and in the Middle Ages, it served other purposes.
