The trip "Paths Of Puglia & Matera - Premium Adventure" starts from Ostuni and ends in Matera. It is a trekking and hiking trip that takes 8 days taking you through Lecce, Ostuni and Locorotondo in Italy. "Paths Of Puglia & Matera - Premium Adventure" is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation in hotels, transport, meals and others.

On the southeast coast of Italy – the heel of the boot – lies the agricultural paradise of Puglia. This low-lying region was once a gateway for Western Europe to the Near East, and there’s a surprising mix of culture and traditions to discover. Visit the Unesco-listed town of Alberobello, home to fairytale trulli houses with their whitewashed façades and conical roofs, and walk in the shade of ancient olive trees and vineyards. Visit the baroque city of Lecce and discover why it has been nicknamed the Florence of the South. Hike above the topaz waters of the Adriatic coast and, finally, step back in time in the cave city of Matera.
