Italy is full of incredible landscapes. From rolling hills to green pastures, picturesque villages and rugged coastlines. Discover it all.
Puglia is one of Italy's most famous regions. From ancient towns with a tangible past to extravagant churches dreamt up by Europe's finest architects, you can follow the footprints of an endless procession of conquerors and cultures. Take in the sea of olives and vineyards along with the olive-green ocean of the Meditteranean. The region's food is the equal of any in Italy and will leave you craving more.
Boasting warm and mild weather all year round, Puglia really is a dreamy destination. The height of summer can get too hot for some in the midday sun. So if you prefer slightly cooler temperatures, perhaps book spring or autumn dates for a more comfortable ride.
Dusty, hilly, and rolling. The roads run beautifully through southern Italy with challenging climbs and fun descents to tackle. Hot summer days really do kick up the dust. Don't forget your glasses and a face covering if you are normally at the back of the peloton!
Warm and welcoming. Italian hospitality is famous across the globe. Be prepared to be blown away by hearty food and rich flavours, incredible wines, and the all-important family feeling that runs throughout the region. Puglia will leave an imprint on you after your visit.
Today we will lead you to the historic centres of Castellana Grotte and Conversano, finishing our day in the wonderful town of Polignano a Mare. Along quiet back roads, we will cycle towards Castellana Grotte for about 17 kilometres to get to the small historical square of the town.
Afterwards, we will head to Conversano, an old agricultural centre, built on high ground in the southeastern Murge, famous above all for the production of excellent cherries. We will visit its historic centre where we can admire the castle of Norman origin, the cathedral and the convent of San Benedetto. We can also have a coffee break in the beautiful square. We will get back in the saddle and, after about 10 kilometres of dealing with some rolling hills, we will arrive at the sea and visit one of the most fascinating places in Puglia, Polignano a Mare. Polignano a Mare is famous for the fans of the “Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series” and it is a village built on the cliffs overlooking the sea.
Once we enter the old town we can visit the typical narrow streets that lead to the characteristic panoramic balconies. Continuing along the coast, we arrive at the old centre of Monopoli where we will visit Garibaldi square and the port, after which we will return to our accommodation.
