Self-Guided Bicycle Tours in Italy: By Bicycle in Puglia - The Best of Southern Italy Plus! the Heel of the Boot
On the Adriatic Coast, Puglia occupies the "heel" of Italy's boot. Here, ancient Greek and Italian culture mingle in hillside vineyards, olive groves, and whitewashed villages nestled against the blue of the Mediterranean. Pedal through a landscape filled with unique conical shaped dwellings known as trulli, and enjoy meals prepared with Italian, Greek, and Middle Eastern influences. Discover the warmth and hospitality of Southern Italy's friendliest people as you ride as far southeast as possible on Italy's mainland.
