I recently had the opportunity to visit Ostuni, a city in the southern region of this Italy and it was an experience I will never forget.

My partner and I were looking for a new adventure and Ostuni was the perfect destination. We had heard about its charming streets, picturesque views, and warm climate, and we were not disappointed.


We began our journey by driving through winding roads lined with olive trees. The landscape was breathtaking, and we couldn't wait to explore the city. As we got closer to Ostuni, the anticipation grew and we couldn't wait to see what the city had to offer.


One of the most memorable moments of our trip was when we were walking through the city and came across a resident who struck up a conversation with us. They were curious about where we were from and wished us a happy holiday. It was a small moment, but it reminded us of the kindness and generosity of the people in Ostuni.

As we continued our journey through the city, we came across some of the most breathtaking views. The city is built on a hill and from the top, you can see the entire city and beyond. We were able to park our car just outside of the city and take a short hike up to the top of the hill. The views were truly breathtaking, and we were able to capture some incredible photos of the city from above.


One of the things that stood out to us during our visit was the warm weather. Even though it was winter, we didn't need jackets and we were able to enjoy the city in comfort. It was a nice change from the cold weather we were used to.


We also had the opportunity to explore some of the city's hidden gems. We found ourselves wandering through the winding streets, admiring the white buildings and houses, and the staircases and tunnels that connect them. We even saw laundry hanging out to dry, adding to the charm of the city.


Another highlight of our trip was the urbex we saw in Ostuni. Although we weren't able to enter, we were fascinated by the abandoned buildings and the stories they held.


Our trip to Ostuni was one of the highlights of our travels. The city's charm and beauty captivated us, and we found ourselves wanting to stay longer. The winding streets, picturesque views, and the charming atmosphere of Ostuni immediately captured my heart. My boyfriend and I were on a romantic getaway and we couldn't have picked a better destination. The city's white-washed buildings, narrow alleys and cobblestone streets were the perfect backdrop for our adventure.



As we walked through the city, we couldn't help but be drawn in by the charming architecture and the vibrant local culture. The streets were lined with colorful laundry hanging from balconies, adding to the charming atmosphere of the city. We found ourselves constantly stopping to take pictures of the picturesque views and the charming details that we stumbled upon.


One of the most memorable moments of our trip was when we stumbled upon a hidden urbex location. We were so intrigued by the abandoned building and its history, but unfortunately we weren't able to explore it. But even though we couldn't go inside, we still enjoyed the eerie beauty of the building and the sense of mystery it exuded.

The drive to Ostuni, through winding roads lined with olive trees was also a highlight of the trip. My boyfriend even got to fly his drone and capture breathtaking aerial views of the city. We parked our car just outside the city, as cars are not allowed in the city center, but this gave us the opportunity to take in the stunning view of the city from a distance before we even arrived.
