Cycling Adventure in Alberobello

Welcome to your home base for the tour, the beautiful land of Trulli, Aberobello! Thousands of 1-room drystone huts with conical roofs unfold in delicate rows along Alberobello's streets. Originally constructed as temporary field shelters and storehouses, the Trulli are now home to local residents, accommodations, and many boutique-style shops.

Settle into your accommodations before setting out on a walk to acquaint yourself with the ancient architecture and famous UNESCO-designated Trulli huts that make Alberobello one of southern Italy's most famous towns.

Discover the lively atmosphere of the Rione Monti district, enjoying its many shops and restaurants. The quieter and less-travelled streets of the Aia Piccola district are also a perfect place to explore.

Enjoy your first meal in Alberobello, delighting in locally produced meat, cheese and of course, vino!

This morning following breakfast, a welcome meeting and bike fitting will take place before you set out on the road.

Your introduction on bike to Alberobello begins with an excursion through the town followed by a pleasant ride on gentle hills among colourful vineyards, olive groves, and forests of oak.

Bound for the well-preserved historic center of the beautiful town of Noci, you’ll come to know why this area is called the “green heart” of Puglia.

In Noci, a gastronomic adventure awaits! Seek out the coolest grocery in Puglia, Marino, and treat yourself to the “Divine Sandwich”—some say it’s the best sandwich in Italy!

Returning to Alberobello via the hills of Barsento, be sure to catch a glance of the rural church of Santa Maria Barsento built in the 6th century.

Today you’ll enjoy a pleasant flat route until you reach a short ascent up Mount San Martino leading you to the old Baroque town of Martina Franca.

Discover the town’s narrow streets, weaving together a stunning collection of picturesque piazzas. Martina Franca is brimming with unique artistic expression and is the perfect place to spend an afternoon exploring. Indulging in local specialties, like the “Capocollo” (cured pork) and the “Bocconotto” (shortbread with cream), is a must!

Setting out from Alberobello this morning, you’ll ride a few kilometres to reach Locorotondo. The picturesque town overlooks the heart of the Itria Valley and is home to breathtaking vineyards and a charming old town.

The “Locorotondo Doc” is a famous high-quality white wine produced here. Enjoy a glass with lunch at one of Locorotondo’s delightful small restaurants serving authentic local cuisine. Returning to Alberobello, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a wine tasting at one of the local wineries.

To end this spectacular day, why not enjoy a sunset over the Trulli from one of the many panoramic terraces in town.

Your final day of cycling is an exciting one! The Castellana Caves are one of the most remarkable natural phenomena of this region. Made of karst stone rock, the formations, comprised of stalactites and stalagmites, run 3 kilometres long and over 60 metres deep.

After exploring the magical caves, enjoy lunch at one of the delectable local restaurants in the vicinity of the caves.

There is an option to extend your ride today by following a path to beautiful Monopoli. Here you can bathe in the welcoming waters of the Mediterranean Sea, refreshing yourself before returning to Alberobello.

Soak up your last moments in Alberobello with a visit to the Trullo Sovrano, Alberobello’s only 2-story trullo. The museum offers a glance into traditional trullo life and allows you to explore a recreated bakery, bedroom, and kitchen.

Following breakfast this morning, it's time to say arrivederci to the town you’ve come to love so much over the last six days. Check out of your accommodations and head to the airport to depart.
