Escape to the idyllic countryside and explore the charming coastline of rural Italy on a journey that immerses you in the country’s history and culture.
Fly to Bari before transferring to the whitewashed coastal town of Otranto for the first stop on your journey through the “heel of Italy”. Explore the old port town overlooking the crystal-clear waters and discover the history of the area while sampling Puglian wine. Continue to the picturesque town and beautiful beaches of Gallipoli. Next, travel north to Lecce, known for its stunning Baroque architecture and quiet piazzas. Visit the Duomo and admire the ornate 17th-century interior before enjoying an aperitif in one of the city’s historic palazzos. From here, visit Ostuni and tour the cathedral before sampling local cheeses, olive oil and antipasti at a traditional oil mill. Throughout your trip, explore various UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Alberobello and Matera,
as well as visits to Altamura and its Romanesque cathedral. In Matera, visit the Sassi district including the Casa Grotta, a rupestrian church, and the Crypt of the Original Sin. Continue to Trani, a whitewashed port city known for its picturesque stone harbour and enjoy lunch at a typical agriturismo eatery overlooking Castel del Monte. Explore the famous octagonal fortress and learn about the history of the medieval architecture. Finish your journey in Bari, the lively capital of Puglia. Wander through the narrow alleyways and hidden piazzas of the old town quarter, exploring St Sabin Cathedral and St Nicholas Basilica. Enjoy one last excursion to the seaside town of Polignano a Mare before a farewell dinner with your group to reminisce on the incredible journey you’ve been on.
