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 VBT | Country Walkers adventure we'll guide you through the ancient cave churches of the Parco Regionale della Murgia Materana. Explore the charming maze of streets of historic Matera, returning to your authentic hotel in the storied Sassi district. Discover Gravina in Puglia's famous 18th-century aqueduct bridge, and enjoy an olive-oil tasting at a traditional masseria amid ancient olive groves. Stroll through the gleaming city of Ostuni, where whitewashed walls contrast with the blue of the Adriatic Sea, then relax in Otranto—where you'll explore the delicate notes of local Primitivo vintages with an expert sommelier. Walk the shimmering Salento coast to Punta Palascia, Italy's easternmost point, and enjoy an evening of mouth-watering cuisine and iconic Apulian revelry.
Tour Highlights
- Explore the magical stone city of Matera with a local expert, discovering the ancient cave dwellings and hidden alleyways of its UNESCO-listed sassi.
- Take in sweeping canyon views as you cross a dramatic aqueduct bridge into the heart of Gravina in Puglia.
- Walk among the iconic trulli of Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and experience the timeless landscapes of the Valle d'Itria.
- Visit a traditional masseria near Ostuni for an olive oil tasting and farm-to-table lunch, then explore the dunes, wetlands, and beaches of Puglia's Adriatic coast.
- Discover the rugged beauty of the Salento Peninsula, from dramatic sea stacks and coastal trails to Punta Palascia, Italy's easternmost point, and unwind with a sommelier-led wine tasting overlooking your estate's vineyards.
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.
