Oria, known for her architecture, friendliness, many festivals, close proximity to beaches and central location for exploring Puglia by car or bike, is one of the most beautiful and as yet largely undiscovered towns in Puglia. Although many expats and holiday makers, well used to the nearby areas of Ostuni, Martina Franca and Lecce are beginning to find her, she has lost none of her authentic village charm.
There are more top-quality restaurants and simple eating options in Oria than most Apulian towns of four times the size and the fresh, local produce and excellent wines are not just simply stunning but, compared to the rest of Europe, bewilderingly inexpensive.
