Chilled out Puglia

Head for the heel of the Italian boot, the region of Puglia, where life is good and cycling is easy.

Discover its two coasts, bordering the Adriatic and the Ionian Sea, overflowing with history, olive trees and shades of blue that will fill your eyes with happiness.

Between trullis - round houses with conical roofs - and sassi - the famous troglodyte dwellings of the region, you will travel through places where tradition and history are consumed in peace, including baroque and romanesque masterpieces such as the cathedrals and basilicas in Gallipoli, Otranto, Brindisi and Alberobello

Puglia by bicycle

You will take gentle paths that will allow you to fully appreciate the languorous rhythm of life in the small villages, like a trip back in time to a simpler life, with both eyes in the great Mediterranean blue.

Self-guided travel

With the Self-guided formula, enjoy your stay according to your desires, in total independence. We give you the itinerary, we book your accommodation and the rest is up to you!
