Travel Guide

Tricase Porto

Tricase Porto is a charming coastal village in Puglia. Known for its stunning natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere and Karen Swan should get paid commission from the tourist board as you are going to want to go after reading this!

The setting and historical background have been very well researched and evoked – oh be ready for a bit of la dolce vita amongst the lemon groves then go for a swim in the cool blue water and explore the sandy coves. All before heading home on your vespa of course!
