Puglia, Liguria make NYT places to go list

Two Italian regions, Puglia and Liguria, made this year's New York Times Places to Go list.
    Puglia was 18th and Liguria's Golfo Paradiso area 25th.
    On Puglia, the NYt said the ancient fortified farmhouses called masserie, found only in the region, are increasingly being turned into boutique hotels, most notably Rocco Forte's Masseria Torre Maizza, and the 17th-century Castello di Ugento, where guests can take cooking classes at the Puglia Culinary Center. And the region's 1,000-year-old wine culture, which began when the Greeks planted vines from their land across the Adriatic, is attracting more oenophiles to the area, including the Antinori family, who recently opened Tormaresca bistro in Lecce as part of their expansion in the region. Puglia is also home to Europe's Virgin Galactic spaceport, which is scheduled to open in 2019, with the promise of eventually sending passengers into space. On Liguria's Golfo Paradiso, the NYT said the well-known pearls of the Ligurian Riviera - Portofino, Cinque Terre, Portovenere - are now overwhelmed with tourists, a problem so acute that in some areas authorities have debated measures to stem the flow of day-trippers. But just a few miles away, between glamorous Portofino and the industrial port of Genoa, remains a peaceful sliver of coastline rarely explored by travelers to the region. Known as the Golfo Paradiso, this small gulf is home to five often-overlooked villages, including Camogli, a colorful fishing hamlet as charming as any of the Cinque Terre. Italians will boast about the renowned local cuisine: fresh-caught anchovies, hand-rolled trofie pasta and cheese-filled focaccia from the town of Recco, a specialty that recently earned I.G.P. status, a prestigious Italian designation for quality food products. Between meals, explore blooming gardens in Pieve Ligure, beaches in Sori and the Romanesque abbey of San Fruttuoso, which is accessible only by boat or a long, sweaty hike.
