ostuni

We literally grabbed Regan and Allie off the street for this short episode. The sisters are from the US. Regan is a wheeler. She uses a wheelchair and has been navigating Ostuni while visiting for the Allora film festival.

We ask Regan how her visit has been, given the narrow cobbled streets of many of Puglia's old towns.

It was a delight to hear that Regan's experience had been very positive and much better than had been anticipated at the other end, before getting here.

She also praises the organisers of Ostuni's first Allora International Festival of Cinema Art and Music for their thought in presenting an inclusive and accessible festival.

For the launch of season 3 we’re in a safe pair of hands as we ride with Ostuni’s top and most satisfying Tuk Tuk tour guide, David 5-Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from Golapa, Ape Calessino Ostuni.

We learn some fascinating facts about Puglia’s città  bianca. Why the old town is built as it is, what the different color doors mean, and why some of those doors are so small (and it’s nothing to do with southern Italians being shorter than average).

The episode is recorded live as we go on tour around the old town with our favorite Tuk Tuk driver.

We paid for our tour and we also gave David 5-Star a big tip to show our appreciation for looking after us.

Be sure to take the tour when you visit Ostuni, it really is educational. Go Golapa and ask for David 5-Star as your guide (be sure to let him know you listened to the podcast). 

Golapa Ape Calessino facebook page has detail of their services.

Part 2 of our gay travel guide to Ostuni, Puglia.  David, our guide to Ostuni, takes us to Ostuni's two local beaches where there is something more beginning with "S" going on than just sun, sea and sand... Lamaforca and Torre Pozzelle. David explains the protocol and the rules of engagement and helps us with the language! ADULT CONTENT and EXPLICIT REFERENCES used.

Like a game of football (AC Milan v Juventis), Part 1 of our guide to Ostuni is a game of two halves. With another new friend @davidgram92 we find out a little bit about Ostuni, its history and some of our favourite places to eat and hang out...

Then in the second half, we find out a little bit more about our charming guest for this podcast, Mr Citta di Ostuni, the lovely David (@davidgram92 on Instagram).

This summer when Ostuni's numbers swell from 32.000 to 100.000 will he will be looking for love, or something more practical, does he prefer prosecco to peroni...and will a sugar daddy or a toy boy amuse him more...?

Before taking a road trip for Part 2 of our guide, David demonstrates the meaning of "gifted".
