So, on this trip back to Italy we had two goals

Explore Puglia and search for John’s family which came from the region of Foggia. So, I looked for a place to stay that was interesting and off the beaten path and found Bisceglie.

A small fishing village just south of Trani, Bisceglie has yet to be discovered by tourists. We literally were the only non Italian speakers there

Situated on a small harbor we booked a house boat facing the shore and watched the fishermen come back every morning and sell their catch to the seafood merchant right on the Marina We would walk to breakfast at a small cafe every morning and see the fishermen mending their nets ready for the next day

It was the perfect base . It allowed us to make trips to various parts of Puglia while still coming home every night to our floating hotel. We Had some major great meals here translating the menu on the fly . We made a few trips to Trani a more popular destination next door but frankly everything we needed was right in Bisceglie .
