    Ancient History on Bikes in Puglia

    By Deep Culture Travel on December 11, 2017 Active Journeys

    Specializing in bike tours with a cultural focus, Ciclismo Classico is stacking up kudos from Outside and National Geographic Traveler magazines, and from such media as The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Bicycling, and Forbes.

    Cycling Around Puglia

    Among their many bike tour choices in Europe, “La Bella Puglia” features a route that meanders through idyllic winelands, ancient towns, olive groves and the rugged coastline. Greek, Norman, and Arab history and architecture are on the itinerary, including three UNESCO World Heritage sites:

    • Baroque architecture in Lecce
    • In the Trulli region, 1,000 conical dwellings in Alberobello
    • Matera the “City of Stone” with 155 cave churches
    • Restored agricultural estate in Selva di Fasano
    • Rustic coastal town of Savelletri, white-washed town of Ostuni
    • Greek ruins in the ancient Messapian town of Egnazia

    Tour leaders were born and raised in Italy and Europe and live there year-round––they are fun and passionate about showing off vera Italia, their authentic Italian culture.
