Question 2

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in Puglia?

Accepted Answer

U.S. citizens can drive in Italy with a valid U.S. driver's license for up to one year, but Italian authorities strongly recommend (and many rental companies require) an International Driving Permit (IDP) obtained from AAA or AATA before departure, costing about $20. New York State license holders are exempt from the IDP requirement in Italy. On B LEADER chauffeur-led experiences, no IDP is needed.

Question 3

What is the best time to visit Salento, Puglia?

Accepted Answer

Salento is at its best from April to June and September to October, when the coast is warm but not crowded. July and August are the peak season with the liveliest beach clubs and nightlife in Gallipoli and Otranto. B LEADER runs Ferrari coastal tours and yacht charters year-round.

Question 4

Which airport should I fly into to visit Salento?

Accepted Answer

The main airports for Salento are Brindisi Airport (BDS, Salento Airport), about 45 minutes from Lecce, and Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (BRI), about 2 hours north. B LEADER offers airport transfers between Brindisi or Bari and Lecce, Otranto and Gallipoli as part of its chauffeured services.

Is Salento worth visiting for luxury travelers?

Yes. Salento is the fastest-growing luxury destination in southern Italy, known for its Maldivian-like beaches (Porto Selvaggio, Punta Suina, Baia dei Turchi), baroque Lecce, and masserie hotels. Puglia welcomed a record 6.7 million visitors in 2025, with international luxury stays growing 16% — and the United States is now the second-largest source market for Italy.
