Start in Alberobello and end in Lecce, the "Cycle Puglia" tour is a self-guided bicycle tour that takes 8 days. You will travel through Santa Maria Di Leuca, Alberobello, Ostuni and 4 other destinations in Italy. "Cycle Puglia" is a private tour which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.
Cycle in Puglia (or Apulia), the sun-soaked heel of Italy, through vineyards, olive groves and unspoiled villages. Puglia in south eastern Italy encompasses the heel of Italy's boot and is bordered by the sea on two sides (the Adriatic Sea in the east and the Ionian Sea to the southeast). The region is characterised by endless olive groves, long fields of grain and vineyards. This cycle tour delves into this region of scenic beauty, which is still unspoiled and retains a rich cultural legacy. From Alberobello where you can marvel at the traditional Trulli houses, the route follows both the Ionian and Adriatic coasts and spans the distances between ancient cities. Ending in Lecce, often referred to as the Florence of the south, this is an ideal holiday for those seeking the less known pockets of Italy with all the historic highlights. Staying in atmospheric hotels, including a typical Trulli in Alberobello (subject to availability), ensures you gain a full appreciation of this special region.
