When the dolce vita goes hand in hand with gentle slopes

Head to the heel of Italy’s boot, the region of Puglia, where life is good and cycling is a delight. Discover its two coasts, which border the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, brimming with history, olive trees, and shades of blue that will fill your eyes with joy.

Amid trulli—round houses with conical roofs—and sassi—the region’s famous cave dwellings—you’ll explore places where tradition and history blend together in perfect harmony. You’ll follow gentle paths that allow you to fully appreciate the leisurely pace of life in these small villages, like a journey back in time to a simpler era, with your eyes fixed on the vast blue Mediterranean.
