Don’t miss out on these travel destinations in June!

Puglia

Puglia is a region in southeastern Italy, located along the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. June is an excellent month to visit this beautiful region in the "heel of Italy." In Puglia, a favorite destination among Italians themselves, you can enjoy delicious olives, tomatoes, artichokes, and grapes. The history of Puglia is marked by conquests by the Greeks, Romans, and Spaniards, and these influences can still be seen today. Puglia is known for the baroque city of Lecce, white houses, and cliffside fishing villages like Ostuni. In the Alta Murgia National Park, you'll find Castel del Monte, a stunning 13th-century castle located on a 550-meter-high rock. Torre dell'Orso is one of the most beautiful beaches in Puglia. For wine lovers, a road trip from Bari to Lecce is highly recommended. This scenic route takes you past the most beautiful vineyards and olive groves of Puglia. Alberobello is a UNESCO World Heritage site, thanks to its whitewashed houses with grey cone-shaped roofs called trulli. It's an excellent destination for photography enthusiasts. Besides all the beauty, you can also enjoy a good glass of wine and delicious food: fresh fish, vegetables, the world's best olive oil, and the pasta Orecchiette.

Indonesia

June is an excellent month to visit Indonesia. Bali is undoubtedly the most famous and popular island, but Indonesia has so much more to offer! For orangutans, tigers, and tropical rainforests, head to Sumatra - one of the largest islands in the world. Here you can find the impressive Lake Toba, which was formed by a massive volcanic eruption and was felt worldwide. The lake is 87 by 27 kilometres in size, making it the largest volcanic lake in the world. 'Dragon Island' Komodo, on the other hand, is a very small island. Komodo earned its nickname 'Dragon Island' due to the 3-meter-long lizards that can be found here. These lizards are usually sunbathing but are not entirely harmless! Therefore, it's recommended to book a guided tour when visiting Komodo National Park. Additionally, Komodo is a dream destination for divers, as it offers some of the most beautiful dive sites in Indonesia. This is just a small selection of the beautiful islands of Indonesia, so be sure to explore beyond touristy Bali!
