Experience Puglia like a Pugliese
Our six days of riding will take us from Matera with its 9000-year-old canyon caves, to Alberobello and Trulli where you'll pedal through groves of olive trees and fragrant herb gardens. Be prepared to post lots of pictures as you ride past the storybook conical trulli homes. Keep your phone camera handy as you enter the white-walled town called Ostuni. Breathe in the Adriatic and taste the famous orchetti and freshly-made mozzarella. You'll need those carbs as you cross the ciclovia on the ancient aqueduct. Before you pedal your way through Martina Franca — please don't forget to sample the local capocollo with a glass of Primitivo. Finally, you'll be on your way to Polignano a Mare, the seaside town you will fall in love with — or fall in love with someone there.
