Excellent tour but must email in advance to check your times. Only 12€ for the tour with 4 different olive oils to taste. Very informative tour and we learnt a lot about olive trees dating back to the Roman times and olive oil making. There is a cave where the original olive presses live. This is a family run olive farm and they have A lot of passion about their olives and trees. Fantastic must see place.

Alberobello is a lovely town in Puglia which, while being a World Heritage site preserving Trulli architecture in a theme park like environment, also conveys a sense of vibrant Southern Italian life. Worth adding to your exploration of Puglia even if just for a day visit.

We found wine tasting at Locorotondo, food at Alberobello, and vineyards galore. A lovely area to eat if you can get it freshly prepared. Be warned that some of the region has Italian type fast food like pasta that is pre made and then microwaved. Yuk!
6. Parco Rupestre Lama D'Antico
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 83 reviews
The Lama D’Antico Rock Park houses one of the most interesting rock settlements in Apulia. Here you can explore several structures which were part of the village (X-XV c. A.D.): -the imposing church carved into the rock, -cave-dwellings, -caves used as work-shops. In addition, in the park you can also visit two small lovely churches, St. John’s and St. Lawrence’s whose walls are frescoed in bright vivacious colours. The entire itinerary is set in a wonderful natural habitat rich of olive groves and Mediterranean maquis.

A park full of wonder, beautiful and so peaceful startling my curiosity for the time from VI to XIV century. I truly loved the virtual tour of the church, I have never experienced anything like it before. Very old traces of human life opening new thoughts and giving insight containing the misteries of Religion, Archeology, Painting and more. The virtual tour is a new additional, and very recently created.

A nice town with lots of restaurants and entertainment up in the old town and the main piazza. From simple pizza restaurants to a true Michelin star In the alleys of the upper old town you can find a number of lounge bars where in the evening you can relax and enjoy a drink. In the summer weekends music on the main piazza and when we were there one of the bars had life music. The old town is a nice area to discover the small alleys, enjoy the view of the sea and visit the cathedral. In the country side around Ostuni there are a number of masseria’s where you can enjoy a country style diner. A nice place to use as a base to discover Puglia.

We stayed pretty close by at Martina Franca & visited this really lovely, charming old town for the day. It’s quiet, laid back & it has as a really nice vibe about the place, it’s not over run by tourists. We wandered about the old town taking photos of the beautiful old alleys & buildings. A number is very nice restaurants/cafes/bars & rather upmarket little shops selling locally produced goods. If you are in the area then Cisternino is most definitely worth a visit.
