Natural  Sights  of  Puglia

Latest update: 19 February 2022
Among the natural sights of Puglia there is no shortage of surprises. The region is famous for its beaches and its towns of Greek origin with their whitewashed walls, but nature has also played a hand with some beautiful lakes. 

You could describe the Cava di Bauxite as a lake but that would be somewhat missing the point. A former quarry that has been disused since the 1970's, it consists of a small lake at its centre but it's the colour of the strangely-shaped rocks around the lake that make it so unusual. A walk around here is what you might expect from the planet Mars, without the gravity issues of course!
