Head for the heel of Italy's boot, the region of Puglia, where life is good and cycling is a pleasure.
Discover its two coasts, bordering the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea, brimming with history, olive trees, and shades of blue that will fill your eyes with joy.
Between trullis—round houses with conical roofs—and sassi—the region's famous cave dwellings—you will explore places where tradition and history unfold in complete tranquility, including Baroque and Romanesque masterpieces such as the cathedrals and basilicas in Gallipoli, Otranto, Brindisi, and Alberobello.
You will travel along gentle routes that allow you to fully appreciate the languid pace of life in small villages, like a journey back in time to a simpler era, with your eyes fixed on the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
With the Self-guided option, enjoy your stay however you want, in complete independence. We give you the itinerary, book your accommodation, and the rest is up to you!
