- Individual arrival in MONOPOLI, a town that is well worth visiting for its narrow streets flowing around its delightful port and offers some truly outstanding seafood restaurants, as well as a beautiful cathedral. Overnight stay in Monopoli.
- MONOPOLI - CONVERSANO 40 km / +535m (See profile). Bike delivery and briefing of the route. A charming route takes you along the stunning coastline from Monopoli before heading inland to CONVERSANO. Have a chance to visit the small, but vibrant town of Polignano a Mare, a shining gem on the coast of the Valle d’Itria, perched atop a 20 metre-high limestone cliff above the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic. Then you’ll reach the picturesque village of San Vito, with its multi-coloured boats moored up in the tiny port, before finally getting to the beautiful little town of Conversano. Overnight stay in Conversano.
- CONVERSANO - ALBEROBELLO 40 km / +570m (See profile). Heading out of Conversano, you'll cycle through the Apulian countryside towards Castellana Grotte, known for its intriguing underground caves. Amazing stalactites and stalagmites give shape to a fascinating and mysterious scenery, provided with an evocative play between light and shade. Then you'll pass by Putignano and Noci. Finally you'll reach your destination: ALBEROBELLO.
- Extra day in Alberobello. Spend the day visiting Alberobello, universally-known as the capital of the Trulli, distictive, small, dry-stone buildings with a conical roof (Alberobello’s striking expanse of trulli was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996), and wandering through narrow streets, kitsch souvenir shops and tasting local delicacies. Or maybe visit the Museo del Territorio to discover the history of this unique, charming city. Alternatively, a circular cycle route takes you deep into the Itria Valley to visit stunning Locorotondo, with wonderful panoramic views across the Itria Valley, and to Martina Franca, a must-see town given its marvellously intact historic centre, beautiful Baroque architecture, and stunning palazzi. ALBEROBELLO - LOCOROTONDO - MARTINA FRANCA 40 km / +475m (See profile). Overnight stay in Alberobello.
- ALBEROBELLO - PEZZE DI GRECO 50 km / +300m (See profile). Today you will cycle along beautiful undulating country lanes lined with endless dry stone walls, before enjoying a long downhill run with panoramic views of the Adriatic coastline and the lower fertile plains, that will take you first to Capitolo and then to PEZZE DI GRECO wit its coloured fields of fresh tomatoes and peppers. Overnight stay in Pezze di Greco.
- Extra day in Pezze di Greco. Today you could just relax by the hotel's pool, or cycle to the nearby beach. For the more energetic, a circular cycle ride takes you to charming Ostuni, the White City, whose whitewashed arches and houses shine like a pearly white tiara, extending across three hills with the magnificent gem of a cathedral as its sparkling centrepiece. PEZZE DI GRECO - OSTUNI 52 km / +535 (See profile). Overnight stay in Pezze di Greco.
- PEZZE DI GRECO - MONOPOLI 32 km / +150m (See profile). Leaving the Masseria this morning, you head back to the Adriatic coast on a gentle flat route. You will cycle to the colourful fishing village of Savelletri. Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy an authentic Italian espresso or a delicious seafood lunch. You will continue cycling towards the archaeological site of Egnazia, once the location of a Greco-Roman town, dating as far back as 4 B.C.. You then return to the picturesque coastal town of Monopoli. Overnight stay in MONOPOLI.
