Cycle Puglia traces the heel of Italy over eight days, linking inland plateaus to the Adriatic by quiet backroads. Beginning in Altamura, known for its PDO bread, the ride heads to Matera with time to explore the sassi cave quarters or join optional loops. Food and craft punctuate the journey: a bakery visit, a caseificio demonstration with light lunch, tastings at an olive mill, and a winery near Locorotondo and Cisternino. The middle days thread through trulli-dotted countryside around Alberobello before descending to Monopoli, where a relaxed coastal loop to Savelletri offers an optional stop at Egnazia.
