Apu­lia, the heel of the boot, is an enchan­ting regi­on, a strip of land in the sea with a wide ran­ge of enchan­ting coast­li­nes to suit all tas­tes. For tho­se who want to immer­se them­sel­ves in the past, Puglia offers a multi­tu­de of his­to­ri­cal sites that tell of its anci­ent cul­tu­re: from pre­histo­ry, Magna Grae­cia and the Roman Empire to the Renais­sance and the sple­ndor of the Baro­que. The start­ing point of the jour­ney is Alber­obel­lo, the home of the trul­li, anci­ent stone dwel­lings with coni­cal roofs built wit­hout mortar. They are so uni­que that they were added to the UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge List in 1996. For fish lovers, this regi­on with its 800 km of coast­li­ne on two seas offers ple­nty of choice. You are spoi­led for choice, becau­se the­re real­ly is some­thing for ever­yo­ne here: raw, mari­na­ted, as a deli­cious fish soup and also with cheese.

Jour­ney to Alberobello
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Indi­vi­du­al jour­ney to the start­ing hotel in Alberobello.
Alber­obel­lo and surroundings
Distanz: 50 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Start­ing from the famous town of Trul­li, you will explo­re the sur­roun­ding area by bike today. Cycle through vast oli­ve gro­ves, viney­ards, fruit and almond trees to Noci, a small town with a his­to­ric cen­ter. You return to Alberobello. 
Grot­te di Castellana 
Distanz: 45 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Today takes you on a beau­tiful cir­cu­lar rou­te to the spec­ta­cu­lar Cas­tel­la­na Caves. The stal­ac­ti­te cave with its laby­rinth of grot­tos is the lar­gest under­ground tou­rist attrac­tion in Ita­ly and can be visi­ted on a gui­ded tour. The vast halls offer wond­rous stone for­ma­ti­ons, with sta­lag­mi­te and stal­ac­ti­te for­ma­ti­ons ever­y­whe­re, which took natu­re thou­sands of years to crea­te. On the way back, enjoy the view of the Adria­tic Sea. 
Loco­ro­ton­do — Cis­tern­i­no — Ostuni 
Distanz: 35 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
From Alber­obel­lo, the rou­te today takes you through the Val­le dIt­ria to Loco­ro­ton­do. The fer­ti­le val­ley is one of the most beau­tiful cul­tu­ral land­scapes in the south. Croo­ked walls made of sta­cked field stones tame natu­re. The name Loco­ro­ton­do lite­ral­ly means round place. The town is also known as La Cit­tà del Vino Bian­co (the town of white wine). Cycle on to Cis­tern­i­no and Ostu­ni. The light-colo­red ring of hou­ses that adorns the tops of the three hills of the Cit­tà Bian­ca can be seen from afar. Enjoy the magni­fi­cent view of the near­by sea. In the after­noon, the­re is a trans­fer by shut­tle bus to Alberobello. 
Rest day or cycling day to Mar­ti­na Franca
Distanz: 45 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
An alter­na­ti­ve to the rest day is a cycle tour to the baro­que town of Mar­ti­na Fran­ca. The town is loca­ted right in the midd­le bet­ween the Ioni­an and Adria­tic Seas in the south-east of the Mur­gia. Worth see­ing are the Palaz­zo Duca­le and the Basi­li­ca di San Martino. 
Mono­po­li — Poli­gna­no a Mare 
Distanz: 45 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
From Alber­obel­lo you cycle to Mono­po­li, the most important port city bet­ween Bari and Brin­di­si. The rou­te con­ti­nues to Poli­gna­no a Mare. The pearl on the sou­thern Cos­ta di Bari impres­ses with its extra­or­di­na­ry loca­ti­on: it clings to the edge of a cliff and offers fan­ta­stic views of the emer­ald green sea. Stroll through the nar­row streets of the old town or enjoy a day of swim­ming befo­re taking the shut­tle bus back to Alberobello. 
Mate­ra, Capi­tal of Cul­tu­re 2019 and UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge Site 
Distanz: 65 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Today you will tra­vel to the cul­tu­ral capi­tal Mate­ra in the Basi­li­ca­ta regi­on (trans­fer in the mor­ning). It is also known as the city of the Sas­si. The old town con­sists part­ly of cave sett­le­ments and has been a UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge Site sin­ce 1993. The impres­si­ve clus­ters of cave dwel­lings form inde­pen­dent dis­tricts that are uni­que in Europe.

Other notes
To ensu­re a stress-free start to the trip, we recom­mend arri­ving at the start­ing point by ear­ly evening in most cases. Some tours start as ear­ly as mid­day, in which case we recom­mend arri­ving the day befo­re and will be hap­py to book an extra night for you at the same time. The indi­vi­du­al return jour­ney takes place on the last day of the tour. The kilo­me­ters are appro­xi­ma­te and may dif­fer from the actu­al kilo­me­ters cover­ed. This tour is not sui­ta­ble for peo­p­le with redu­ced mobility. 
Mini­mum num­ber of participants
If a mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is requi­red for the tour to take place, this is sta­ted under Pri­ces and ser­vices. If the mini­mum num­ber of par­ti­ci­pan­ts is not rea­ched, we reser­ve the right to can­cel the trip up to four weeks befo­re the date of arri­val. We recom­mend that you do not orga­ni­ze your arri­val and depar­tu­re until after this dead­line has passed.
Insu­ran­ces
Tra­vel can­cel­la­ti­on insu­rance inclu­ding tra­vel inter­rup­ti­on insu­rance is recom­men­ded in any case. Infor­ma­ti­on can be found at: https://www.feuer-eis-touristik.de/reiseversicherung
7‑day care­free number
No mat­ter how well plan­ned a trip is, in rare cases unex­pec­ted things hap­pen. At such times, it’s nice to have someone you can rely on on site. For this reason, you will have a local cont­act per­son on our indi­vi­du­al acti­vi­ty tours who will be hap­py to pro­vi­de you with infor­ma­ti­on and, as sta­ted in the tra­vel docu­ments, can be cont­ac­ted in an emergency.
