When researching recommended routes in Puglia, it usually boils down to a circular route around the heel of Italy. The region isn't large, and if you're like me and enjoy taking your time and not rushing between attractions, 7–8 days is the perfect amount of time to fully explore Puglia. It's enough to feel like you've really gotten to know the area. I divided the trip into two parts, dedicating the first half to the northern area and another four days to the southern part.
