This morning you visit the beautiful village of Locorotondo, considered to be one of the most beautiful towns in the whole of Italy, offering mesmerising views across the surrounding valley.

Day 3: Lecce

Today’s excursion is to Lecce, a beautiful city known for its baroque streets, attractive squares and leafy lanes. The rail journey down from Polignano a Mare is impressively scenic; travelling along the coast, the train passes villages of whitewashed houses and olive groves.

Day 4: Alberobello

Enjoy an excursion to Alberobello, a charming town packed with as many as 1,400 ‘trulli’ – peculiar cone-shaped stone houses. These unusual homes line the surrounding hillsides, and have UNESCO World Heritage status.

Day 5: Trani & Bari

Travel to Bari, Puglia’s capital where you enjoy a tour of the Old Town, tucked onto a headland edging out into the Adriatic Sea. Home to the city’s 11th century church, the Romanesque Basilica di San Nicola, Castello Svevo, or ‘Swabian Castle’, as well as a couple of grand piazzas, you’ll be transported back in time as you hear about the stories that rose this old port city to economic prominence.

Day 6: Matera

Your tour today visits remote Matera, a town in Basilicata set in a small canyon. Much less visited than other destinations in Puglia, Matera best known for its ‘Sassi’ – ancient troglodyte caves used as dwellings since the Palaeolithic era.

Day 7: At Leisure

You are free to relax at the hotel today, why not head to the private beach and relax before your journey tomorrow, soaking up the last of the Italian atmosphere. This evening enjoy a final group meal together.

Day 8: Homeward Bound

After breakfast this morning, check out and transfer to Bari airport for the flight back to the UK, where your tour comes to an end.
