Overview

Ride through Italy’s “heel of the boot” on an adventure that’s as soulful as it is unexpected. Visit the World Heritage Sites of Alberobello, with its 1,500 trulli, and Matera, a mesmerizing maze of prehistoric caves. Bike from coast to coast—from the Ionian to the Adriatic—with time to relax over espresso and gelato.
