Puglia is ridiculously good for cycling. Quiet backroads, endless olive groves, whitewashed towns, and the Adriatic popping up just when you need a swim or a seafood lunch. On this 8-day cycling holiday, ride with you from Matera’s surreal cave city all the way to coastal Otranto, crossing the best of southern Italy along the way. We spin through trulli (stone houses with cone-shaped roofs) villages, vineyard country, and sun-baked countryside, stopping often for what Puglia does best: incredible food, great wine, and long evenings in beautiful countryside masserias.
