Overview
This itinerary was designed and created by Jesse Andrews, the owner of Italy Vacation Specialists who lead cycling tours in Puglia from 2005-2009 and knows every aspect of the region.
It's a journey into the heart of Puglia, with our local English-speaking driver guides and wonderful local operators, will lead you with a lasting impression of Puglia, which we hope will have you coming back to stay longer and discover much more!
Itinerary
Driving south from Bari, the capital of the Puglia region, we will venture along a very beautiful coastal road dotted by small towns and summer resorts.
Puglia is known as the 'Maldives' of Italy for the long stretches of white sand, particularly in the southern end of the region, so make sure to bring your swimsuits and get ready to enjoy the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean sea!
Dinner and overnight at the beautiful roof-top terrace at Hotel Covo Dei Saraceni in Polignano a Mare at their fantastic sea-view sea-view facing restaurant unlike any you have ever seen before.
Relax in total paradise!
