Slowing down and setting off without a plan in Puglia often leads you to places you only dreamed of

| Dear Tiatira Com,
What happens if we go where our dreams take us, not where our inner clock demands?
Acclaimed novelist and memoirist Mary Morris, whose powerful books chronicling such travel journeys as “All the Way to the Tigers” (India), “Nothing to Declare” (Mexico and Central America) and “Wall to Wall: From Beijing to Berlin by Rail,” shares her tale of simply wandering through Italy’s Puglia. This part of Italy is off the usual tourist map (although we are excited to be launching new S.A.L.T. menus and experiences when we call at Bari), and I was inspired by Mary’s story, written exclusively for Silversea, about how an energetic, seeking traveler found a place where she made gentle discoveries rather than dramatic ones.
Are you also craving gentle discoveries during these chaotic, oft-exciting times we live in?
Stay curious.
Warmest Regards,

| ENJOYING THE PULL OF PUGLIA |
|
|
Whether you call it Puglia, or “Apulia,” its Latin name, you’ll have the same problem with this area of southeastern Italy: the delicious dilemma of choices of places to see, meals to remember, beaches to bask on. Its wines are said to be among the best in the world, its views of the Adriatic and Ionian seas thrilling, its ancient trulli (stone huts, above) a sight you’ll see only in Puglia. The allure is the authenticity, which is Puglia’s draw: Its siren song will lead you to fall in love with the Italy different.

| LEARNING TO MAKE THE PASTA OF PUGLIA IN SILVERSEA’S S.A.L.T. LAB |
|
|
When talk in Silversea’s S.A.L.T. Lab on a Mediterranean cruise turns to orecchiette, we’re all ears, not just because the pasta is shaped like our hearing organ, but because this classic dish, made the right way, captures all that is beautiful about southeastern Italy. Read about the amazing S.A.L.T. learning experience, and return home a master maker of a dish (a recipe is included) you’ll serve over and over again. It may be your best memento ever.
