Savelletri

Our host Maria Carmela told us an interesting fact. The 2024 G7 meeting was held in this little coastal town known for its upscale luxury resort.

As we headed back up towards Monopoli today for our rescheduled boat tour we make a point of stopping on.

Its such an inviting waterside route, parallel to the bigger highway. Our road curves and leans around rocky points, then bends inwards to small sheltered beaches and coves.

Fishers are out langouously casting from the rocks and kids are already happily splashing on the sandy shorea as the morning sun heats up.

Salvelletri is quiet in the early day, with few pedestrians. It has the feel of an older world place to be, rather than a playground for the rich and famous. Maybe they're all at that luxury resort. Madonna and the Beckhams have been known to holiday here, Justin Timberlake got married here.

Our Canadian Justin would have attended last year. And now they're all about to visit us, in Kananaksis, Alberta.Read more
