Discover and explore what we ultimately strive for in a cycling vacation–which is to simply “Pedal Happy”. Puglia blends ancient Greek and Italian cultures amid vineyards, olive groves, and whitewashed villages. The cycling journey begins in Matera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its cave-carved dwellings, then heads east to Alberobello, famous for its conical trulli homes. The tour ends in the elegant baroque city of Lecce, known as the "Florence of the South" for its stunning architecture and vibrant atmosphere.
