Panoramica

Questo viaggio di 11 giorni è l’esperienza definitiva del Sud Italia, progettata con cura per chi desidera scoprire ogni sfumatura di Puglia e Basilicata. Unendo una profonda immersione culturale tra siti Patrimonio UNESCO a un finale rigenerante sulle spiagge di sabbia bianca del Salento, questo itinerario offre l’esplorazione più completa della regione.

La tua avventura si basa su una strategia di soggiorno multi-base. Invece di affrontare spostamenti estenuanti ogni giorno, utilizziamo più hotel 4 stelle posizionati nel cuore delle destinazioni—sempre entro un chilometro dai centri storici. Questo approccio ti permette di trascorrere meno tempo in viaggio e più tempo a vivere l’atmosfera locale.

Uno sguardo più approfondito sul tuo viaggio

Dai vicoli storici di Bari alle grotte millenarie di Matera, fino alle acque cristalline del Mar Ionio, ogni dettaglio è organizzato per offrirti il massimo comfort e zero stress.

Bari & Matera: le radici del Sud

La tua esplorazione inizia a Bari, dove le visite guidate in città rivelano un’anima mediterranea vivace e autentica. Da qui, ti sposterai a Matera per un tour full day dei “Sassi”. Queste abitazioni preistoriche scavate direttamente nella roccia calcarea rappresentano uno degli insediamenti abitati ininterrottamente più antichi della storia umana.

La valle “da fiaba” e le meraviglie barocche

Proseguendo verso sud, entrerai nella Valle d’Itria, una terra caratterizzata dagli iconici “Trulli”—casette bianche in pietra con tetti conici, uniche al mondo, che si trovano ad Alberobello. Il tour continua attraverso la “Città Bianca” di Ostuni e nel cuore del Salento, dove scoprirai il ricco patrimonio barocco della regione in città come Lecce, Galatina e Otranto.

Il gran finale sulla costa

L’ultima evoluzione di questo tour ti porta nella zona costiera del Salento, a Porto Cesareo. Qui il focus si sposta sul relax. Avrai tempo libero dedicato per vivere la spiaggia ed esplorare in autonomia alcune delle più belle acque turchesi d’Italia.

Dettagli del programma

Giorno 1: Arrivo a Bari – Benvenuti nel capoluogo della Puglia.

All’arrivo, un transfer privato ti accompagnerà al tuo hotel 4 stelle. Trascorri il pomeriggio respirando l’aria di mare ed esplorando l’atmosfera vivace di questo storico porto mediterraneo.

Giorno 2: L’anima di Bari

Visita guidata a Bari tra Bari Vecchia e il lungomare: Basilica di San Nicola, Cattedrale, Castello Svevo e vicoli storici, con racconti su tradizioni locali e scorci autentici.

Day 3: Matera – The Ancient City of Stone

Today, we cross into the Basilicata region for a full-day tour of Matera. You will explore the "Sassi"—an ancient labyrinth of cave dwellings and churches carved directly into the rock. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and a sight you will never forget.

Day 4: Journey South (with optional stop in Polignano & Monopoli)

During your transfer from Bari to Brindisi (or Lecce), you can choose to add a 3-hour stop to visit two coastal gems:

  • Polignano a Mare: World-famous for its white houses perched dramatically on jagged limestone cliffs.

  • Monopoli: An ancient fishing port with a medieval castle and a beautiful historic center. After the stop, the journey continues with a guided visit to Brindisi or Lecce, where you will check into your next hotel.

Day 5: The Villages of the Itria Valley

Discover the iconic "postcard" images of central Puglia.

  • Alberobello: Walk among the "Trulli," the famous white stone huts with conical roofs found nowhere else in the world.

  • Locorotondo: A quiet, circular village known for its elegance and stunning valley views.

  • Ostuni: The "White City" perched on a hill, overlooking a sea of ancient olive trees.

Day 6: Salento – Between Two Seas

A full day dedicated to the Salento peninsula, where history meets turquoise waters.

  • Galatina: A hidden gem home to spectacular frescoes.

  • Gallipoli: An ancient town built on a limestone island in the Ionian Sea.

  • Otranto: Italy’s easternmost point, featuring a castle and a cathedral overlooking the Adriatic.

Giorno 7: The Beauty of Lecce

Enjoy a final guided visit to Lecce (if staying in Brindisi). The city is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture in golden stone, so ornate and scenic that it is often called the "Florence of the South."

Day 8-10: The Dream Finale – Relaxation in Porto Cesareo

The tour evolves into total relaxation. You will be transferred to the Porto Cesareo area, famous for its fine sand beaches and turquoise waters. You will have three free days to swim, relax in the sun, and recharge in one of Europe’s most beautiful coastal stretches.

Day 11: Arrivederci

After a final breakfast by the sea, a private transfer will take you to the airport for your return flight.
