Discover the magic of the Itria Valley on a comfortable and personalized tour through rolling hills, ancient olive groves, and charming historic towns. Visit the "White City" of Ostuni, the traditional village of Cisternino, the circular village of Locorotondo, and the baroque jewel of Martina Franca.
The day begins at 9:30 AM with departure from our headquarters in Gallipoli or from your preferred meeting point in the province of Lecce.
Head first to Ostuni, a stunning hilltop town with whitewashed houses, breathtaking views of the olive groves, and the Adriatic Sea. Stroll through its charming alleys, visit the magnificent Gothic-style Cathedral, and enjoy panoramic viewpoints from the historic center.
Next, visit Cisternino, one of Italy’s most beautiful villages, famous for its traditional fornelli pronti — butcher shops that cook meat on the spot. Walk through its narrow streets, admire flower-filled balconies, and discover picturesque squares frozen in time.
Continue to Locorotondo, known for its unique circular layout and whitewashed houses with sloping roofs, called cummerse. Overlooking the Itria Valley, this peaceful village is perfect for a leisurely stroll through its stone-paved streets and artisan boutiques.
The final stop is Martina Franca, the baroque jewel of the Itria Valley. Admire its noble palaces, the impressive Basilica of San Martino, and the historic center’s charming alleys, adorned with arches and wrought-iron balconies — a perfect blend of history, art, and culture.
The tour concludes with your return at 5:30 PM, either to our Gallipoli headquarters or to your original pick-up point.
