Orange Flag Towns of Puglia

Latest page update: 2 March 2025

By: Dion Protani

The Orange Flag towns of Puglia have all been awarded with the Bandiera Arancione, a mark of excellence operated by the Touring Club Italiano association. Most Italian regions have a number of towns on the list and Puglia's collection totals nine.

Among the criteria set out for the award are a certain aesthetic charm, environmental responsibility and facilities for tourists.

Typically smaller towns or villages, the locations below are a little off the beaten track but contain a number of hidden gems with the likes of Cisternino, Corigliano d'Otranto and Troia among the best.
