Escape from New York: Extended Travel

The Foods of Apulia in Southern Italy

An 8 hour flight from New York JFK into Rome Leonardo da Vinci airport.  A 4 hour train ride southeast into Bari.  Another 2 hour train ride further south into Lecce.  And a 45 minute cab ride over to Otranto on the Adriatic Sea.  A bit of a trek, but well worth it to explore and eat my way through the foods of Apulia in Italy.
