Overview

A guided Puglia bike tour to discover the most beautiful and unspoiled corners of the entire Puglia Region. You don’t have to take care of anything except pedal along the most beautiful bike routes of our region. The tour starts in Matera, the famous UNESCO city of the “Sassi” (“Stones”, i.e. the old town full of cave dwellings) and the European Capital of Culture for 2019. This 15-day/14-night cycling holiday is the best option to know Puglia far and wide, starting from its beating heart, the country of trulli (the conic-roofed rural houses) and masserie (local fortified farmhouses). At the end of the journey, Puglia will have no secret for you anymore – or at least a few kept for your next tour!
