Visit ancient Roman ruins, the UNESCO-recognised caves of Matera, and Alberobello’s whitewashed Trulli houses on this stunning tour. NEW Puglia - Treasures of Southern Italy Discover what you’ll experience: DAY 1… UK TO BARI: Fly from the UK to Bari. DAY 2… LECCE AND OTRANTO: Explore Lecce, Puglia’s historic trading centre. Baroque buildings, ornate churches, and marbled courtyards reflect the town’s historic importance. Wander the old town, built around the remnants of a Roman amphitheatre, then spend time in Otranto, built on the site of the ancient Greek town of Hydrus. DAY 3… MATERA & ALTAMURA: Visit UNESCO- listed Matera, the Mediterranean’s most well-preserved example of ancient troglodyte settlements. Reached through a network of alleys and stairways, some have stone-fronted formal entrances, and many are renovated for modern use - all are overseen by a 13th- century cathedral, built at the highest point of the city. Travel to the plateau town of Altamura to see its Romanesque cathedral and historic centre, a maze of narrow streets and intimate courtyards. Sample the famous local bread, originated by local peasants. DAY 4… AT LEISURE: Enjoy a day at leisure or take an optional excursion to the caves at Castellana, Monopoli’s white-washed houses, and the striking cliff-side town of Polignano a Mare. DAY 5… ALBEROBELLO, LOCOROTONDO & MARTINA FRANCA: Travel to Alberobello, home to more than 1,500 unique Trulli houses – distinctive white-washed cylindrical buildings with conical grey roofs, dating back to the 14th- century. In Locorotondo, look out for more Trulli houses dotted across the picturesque countryside. Continue to Martina Franca, where Moorish influences are apparent in the town’s medieval palaces and churches; the beautiful Ducal Palace is well worth a visit. Explore at your own pace. DAY 6… CASTEL DEL MONTE & TRANI: Visit Trani, a whitewashed port city, before lunch in a typical agriturismo overlooking Castel del Monte. Continue to the fortress itself, built by Roman Emperor Frederick II; this octagonal citadel is a masterpiece of medieval architecture. DAY 7… AT LEISURE: Spend the day at leisure.
