An easy tour through the Heel of the Boot of Italy
Our classical, easier and best seller tour from the Sassi of Matera, in Basilicata, to Puglia.
After crossing the Murgia plateau, you will stay in the Itria valley, characterized by olive grooves and typical “trulli”, rural conical roof houses made with drystone techniques. Around Ostuni, the “white town” lots of Masserie, small typical local stone fortresses.
Salento is the southern region of Puglia, the Heel of Italy’s Boot. Here the Ionian Coast, before Gallipoli, is characterized of sandy beaches, dunes and protected natural reserves.
The Adriatic Coast, around Otranto, is made of cliffs and small bays.
The cities and inland hamlets, expressions of the unique Lecce Baroque, Messapi and Salento Grecìa are not to be missed.
