"June is the ideal time to take in Puglia's white-washed hilltop towns and ancient olive groves before the Italians flock there for their holidays in July and August. Indulge in Italian cuisine, watching nonnas knead orecchiette in the streets of Bari, learning about traditional olive oil production at a rural masseria, or dining on no-frills, freshly-caught seafood atop a trabucchi."
"Where to stay: For the most picturesque coves and quieter, charming towns, base yourself in Salento, the heel' of Italy's boot'. We love the mosaic-floored Palazzo Daniele, where an all-female team of chefs serve traditional local dishes and teach cookery classes, or seriously stylish Palazzo San Vito, conveniently located just outside Lecce."
"Croatia is always a good idea if you're looking to chase the sun with lower prices and fewer crowds than the Mediterranean. With recent rumours of Mamma Mia 3 being in early production, what better excuse to return to the Dalmatian island home of the second film? If you avoid the notorious tourist trap of the Blue Cave of Bisevo, there are plenty of quiet corners to discover on this remote island, which was off limits to tourists until the Yugoslav army base closed in 1989."
June provides quieter access to Puglia's white-washed hilltop towns, ancient olive groves and coastal lidos before peak Italian holidays. Travelers can watch nonnas making orecchiette, learn traditional olive-oil production at rural masserie, and dine on freshly caught seafood atop trabucchi. Lecce features Baroque architecture, basilicas and galleries. Salento's coves and charming towns serve as recommended bases, with accommodations ranging from mosaic-floored Palazzo Daniele and stylish Palazzo San Vito to 16th-century Masseria Torre Maizza surrounded by olive groves. Croatia's Dalmatian islands offer sun, lower prices and fewer crowds, with Komiza prized for aquamarine waters and fishing-boat harbors.
