Description

A tour to the discovery of 3 characteristic villages of Itria Valley: Martina Franca, Alberobello, Ostuni.

The whole Valley is surrounded by wonderful countrysides dominated by a rich vegetation and natural landscapes and includes picturesque villages. Each of these villages seems enveloped in a magical, almost fairytale-like atmosphere.  

Martina Franca is in the eastern hills of the Murge. It is a melting pot of history and art. Its historical centre, very charming and quaint, appears to the visitor in a spectacular maze of narrow streets, whitewashed houses, charming streets, old churches and wrought iron balconies. Among the structures that characterize the Old Town are the Palazzo Ducale, the Palazzo Stabile, the Basilica of San Martino, Piazza XX Settembre and Piazza Roma.

Alberobello, a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1996, is the town in Puglia with the largest number of Trulli. Destination of millions of tourists crowding its narrow streets, Alberobello offers visitors a unique scenario.

Particularly striking are the two districts: "Rione Monti" with its local handcraft shops and "Aia Piccola", where the most ancient Trulli and little museums are situated. 

Ostuni is known as the “White City" par excellence. It is situated on the Murge Hills with steep walls and its historic centre, painted only in white, is a proliferation of plans, of ups and downs, of alleys and stairways, of tangled streets that cross arches and squares. On its summit stands the monumental Cathedral, in late Gothic style.
