Experience the charm of three significant villages in Puglia on this scenic tour. Travel in comfort aboard a minivan with air conditioning and a professional driver who will provide insights into the history, culture, and highlights of each destination.
The journey begins in Ostuni, famously known as the "White City." This enchanting medieval village, with its whitewashed houses and labyrinthine alleys, evokes an exotic, almost oriental atmosphere. You’ll have time to explore the historic center, locally called "la terra" ("the land"), a captivating maze of narrow alleys, sloping stairs, courtyards, and quaint squares. The town is dotted with artisan shops and traditional boutiques, perfect for discovering local crafts and products.
From Ostuni, the tour continues to Alberobello, a unique destination nestled among charming hilltop villages and ancient olive groves. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a timeless village composed entirely of trulli, the iconic white, cone-roofed structures that are a masterpiece of Italian folk architecture. Explore the two main districts: Rione Monti, bustling with local craft shops, and Aia Piccola, home to the oldest trulli and small museums. Alberobello offers a one-of-a-kind glimpse into history and tradition, making it an unforgettable experience.
The final destination is Polignano a Mare, a breathtaking coastal village perched on cliffs that plunge dramatically into the Adriatic Sea. Birthplace of the legendary Domenico Modugno, this town is a blend of history and stunning natural beauty. Wander through its historic center, where Roman influences are still evident, including the Via Traiana bridge. Lose yourself in its vibrant maze of streets, alleys, and squares filled with shops and restaurants, and don’t miss the three panoramic terraces offering unparalleled views of the sea.
This tour is a perfect blend of history, architecture, and natural beauty, giving you an unforgettable opportunity to immerse yourself in the heart of Puglia.
