The Apulian White Towns

Our tour takes us through a series of beautiful white towns, each with its own unique charm and character.

Our journey begins in San Vito dei Normanni, a charming town known for its medieval castle and traditional Apulian architecture. From here, we cycle to Ostuni, often called the "White City" due to its stunning whitewashed buildings that create a striking contrast against the blue sky. As we continue, we pass through Carovigno, famous for its impressive castle and picturesque historic center.

Next on our itinerary is Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to the iconic trulli houses. These cone-shaped dwellings with their whitewashed walls and stone roofs are a true architectural wonder. We also explore Cisternino, Locorotondo, and Martina Franca, three charming towns characterized by their white-washed houses, narrow alleys, and beautiful Baroque architecture.

Ceglie Messapica awaits us with its rich gastronomic heritage. Known as the "City of Gastronomy," Ceglie Messapica offers a delightful culinary experience with its traditional Apulian dishes, including orecchiette pasta, burrata cheese, and roasted meats.

Continuing our journey, we visit Oria, a town steeped in history and home to an impressive medieval castle. Finally, we reach Francavilla Fontana, known for its beautiful historic center and the impressive Imperial Castle.

Throughout the tour, you have the opportunity to experience the local culinary delights and immerse yourself in the region's traditions. Apulian cuisine is renowned for its fresh and simple ingredients, such as olive oil, tomatoes, seafood, and locally grown vegetables. Don't miss the chance to taste traditional dishes like orecchiette con le cime di rapa (pasta with turnip greens), focaccia bread, and pasticciotto (a delicious pastry filled with custard).

Accommodation options are available in two categories: Economy and Deluxe. In the Economy category, you can choose between cozy bed and breakfasts or comfortable 3-star hotels. For a more luxurious experience, the Deluxe category offers 4 or 5-star hotels that provide additional amenities and services.

We also provide the flexibility to add extra overnight stays to allow for a more leisurely exploration of the towns, enjoy a tasting experience, or embark on a scenic loop ride to discover hidden gems in the surrounding countryside.
