Giorno 1 — Bari → Ostuni (BR)
On the Adriatic coast of Puglia, Bari is a city where a thousand years of heritage blend with strong maritime traditions. Once a major port connecting Italy with the East, it preserves the legacy of the Roman, Byzantine, Norman and Swabian civilisations that shaped its history.
The heart of the city lies in Bari Vecchia, a maze of lively streets lined with squares, stone houses and historic palaces. The Basilica of Saint Nicholas, an important pilgrimage site, the Cathedral of San Sabino and the Norman-Swabian Castle reflect the richness of Bari’s architectural heritage. Along the waterfront, elegant buildings frame one of the city’s most iconic promenades overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
Local cuisine showcases orecchiette, seafood, focaccia barese, extra virgin olive oil and the wines of Puglia.
Historic heritage, maritime traditions and Mediterranean charm make Bari an authentic destination where culture and the art of living are expressed in their finest form.

Giorno 7 — Otranto → Matera
In the heart of Basilicata, in southern Italy, Matera is renowned for its cave dwellings carved into the rock. The city reveals a millenary history where architecture, traditions and the natural environment come together to create a truly distinctive heritage.
The Sassi of Matera, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, form one of the most remarkable urban landscapes in Europe. These ancient districts carved into the stone, with their houses and winding lanes, bear witness to a way of life shaped by the landscape from prehistoric times to the contemporary era. The Romanesque cathedral dominates the Civita, the historic heart of the city, while the rock churches of the Murgia Park reflect the close connection between cultural heritage and the natural environment.
Local gastronomy reflects the identity of Basilicata through Matera bread, handmade pasta, regional products and rural traditions.
Between ancestral memory, stone architecture and Mediterranean culture, Matera reveals a territory where every landscape tells a story.
