Highlights
Cycling from the sea through the Alta Murgia National Park, among the UNESCO world heritage sites of Apulia and Basilicata. You will start from Trani, with its port and gorgeous cathedral, then Castel del Monte, a mysterious octagonal-shaped castle built by Frederick II. After crossing the Bradano Valley, on roads surrounded by hills of wheat, head for Matera, with its ancient Sassi district, dwellings dug out of the rock. The journey ends in the Itria Valley, among the trulli of Alberobello and Ostuni, the “white town”. The tour unwinds largely on secondary roads with little traffic. Mainly on asphalt that is suitable for road bikes. The area is predominantly hilly with short, easy climbs near some of the towns.
