Transmurgiana Road Bike Trip in Puglia

We have thought of a program of over 8 days for those who want to combine exploring the green heart of Puglia with discovering the coast, supported by local guides ready to reveal every aspect of our territory and the fascinating culture of Puglia.

You will start from the southern coast of Bari, discovering the famous towns of Polignano a Mare and Monopoli. You will then continue along the Coastal Dunes Park along the Ancient Via Traiana, which in this stretch has been renamed the “Via of the Ancient Olive Trees” due to the dozens of thousand-year-old olive trees that make this itinerary unique.

You will then ascend towards Ostuni, the beautiful white city, to delve into the heart of the Itria Valley, passing through the charming villages of Locorotondo, Alberobello, and Noci.

The journey will continue towards the wonderful Alta Murgia National Park, the only pseudo-steppe in the Italian mainland, passing through the town of Altamura, Gravina in Puglia and Ruvo with a stop, outside the region, in Matera, one of the oldest cities in the world.

You will then descend towards the stunning city of Trani, “The Pearl of the Adriatic,” with its Romanesque cathedral by the sea, one of the most beautiful in Europe.

In the same bicycle journey, you will symbolically unite three UNESCO sites: Alberobello, with its trulli, Matera, the ancient city carved into the rock, and Castel del Monte with its octagonal shape and the mysticism that characterizes it.

The itinerary takes place on low-traffic asphalt roads and some stretches of light dirt roads.
