WHAT WE WILL SEE: this HALF-DAY BIKE TOUR explores the central area of Puglia, a spectacular region in southern Italy. Here the Adriatic Sea offers us a warm climate, crystal clear waters, with beaches and rocky coast, while inland our itinerary will take us through vast paths full of gigantic monumental olive trees, pastures with animals, wheat fields, wonderful and impressive historic ‘Masserie‘ and ancient little paths with the famous “dry stone walls” … they are ancient feudal palaces of 1600 that represent a splendid architectural masterpiece!
It’s a very special excursion. You will cross the paths that go from the “Plains of Ancient Olive Trees” to the wonderful coast of the Adriatic sea! Slowly, enjoy these incomparable, rustic and bucolic landscapes …

They are real “wooden giants”. With our guides you will be able to appreciate the authentic and characteristic rural essence of this piece of Puglia.
And then there’s the LUNCH! The Apulian food is delicious, without frills, very savory … and is accompanied by excellent local wines.
So, at the end of this exciting cycling experience you will enjoy the: “Sailor’s Tasting”! As a true ‘local’ you will taste the fresh fish dishes of southern Italy (cooked in many variations). You’ll be guests of a typical selected restaurant, right on the sea.
