Discover Puglia: Matera, Otranto and the stunning Adriatic Coast on this unforgettable walking adventure

While many walking tours of Puglia miss out on the beauty of Basilicata, on this Country Walkers adventure we’ll guide you through the ancient cave churches of the Parco Regionale della Murgia Materana. Explore the charming streets of historic Matera, returning to your luxurious hotel in the storied Sassi district. Discover Gravina in Puglia’s famous 18th-century aqueduct bridge with sweeping views of the gorge below, and enjoy an exquisite olive-oil tasting in one of Alberobello’s iconic trulli. Stroll through the gleaming city of Ostuni, where whitewashed walls contrast sharply with the blue of the Adriatic Sea, and relax at your comfortable masseria in Otranto—where a 16th-century olive oil mill and Bronze Age dolmens await in the surrounding countryside. Walk along the shimmering coast to the confluence of the Ionian and Adriatic waters at Santa Maria di Leuca, and enjoy an evening of mouth-watering cuisine, local music, and iconic Apulian revelry.
Tour Highlights
- Tour the magical stone city of Matera with a local leader who brings its rich culture to life.
- Stroll into the whitewashed village of Alberobello, and sample olive oil and traditional snacks at an enoteca fashioned from one of the region’s beehive-shaped trulli.
- Savor sweeping canyon views as unforgettable as the regional flavors in spectacular Gravina di Puglia.
- Unwind poolside, a glass of primitivo in hand, at an authentic Apulian masseria, or farmhouse, near the enchanting coastal town of Otranto.
- Follow a stretch of the historic Via del Sale (Salt Route) and explore Puglia’s southernmost point at Santa Maria di Leuca.
This trip was such a delightful mixture- fascinating history and architecture, spectacular scenery especially along the Adriatic coast, delicious local food and wine, luxurious accommodations, and the most agreeable weather.
All of the above led by the most terrific guides: Emiliano Limauro and Cosimo Burgi. Both were professional, knowledgeable ,and congenial. I know that I speak for all 16 of us when I say, we couldn't have asked for better guides. This was my first trip with Country Walkers, and I hope it will be the first of many even though I am 80 years old.
