Today definitely on the tourist map among Italy’s famous places, Apulia is still a territory to discover.
Still much linked to the past, like in a movie, you see old women sitting on the side of the streets, vespas all over the place and old men playing cards in the local bars.
Apulia shines brightest in the country side, far away from the busy crowds. Italy’s heel features great food, great walks and the most wonderful and hospitable people.
Arrive at Bari airport and transfer to your hotel for a welcome stroll and aperitivo!
Explore Ostuni in the morning. It is commonly referred to as “the White Town” for its white walls and its typically white-painted architecture. After a lunch downtown, walk off along the coastline among endless olive groves. Stop at a local olive mill for a tasting session of this super food.
The Park, with its ancient olive groves, archaeological and historical sites, the historic masseria farms and underground oil-mills, the Lame, rock dwellings, is worth discovering. Afternoon pasta cooking class at the park facilities. Learn how to make the typical Apulian orecchiette with fresh tomato sauce from local ladies.
