Apulia with Salento at the very bottom of the heel in southeastern Italy has a varied history, having belonged to several peoples who have all contributed to the region's distinctive dialect, flavorful cuisine, and special architecture. This is perhaps Italy's best-kept cycling secret. This cycling trip begins in Monopoli with its bobbing fishing boats and ends in the beautiful baroque city of Lecce.
The cycling takes you from the white village of Otranto via the conical roofs of Alberobello's trulli houses. Then on to the enchanting white sandy beaches near Gallipoli, with its Lady & the Tramp atmosphere. Enjoy wonderful bike rides through a sparsely populated landscape with olive groves, Mediterranean nature, and beautiful coastal roads. The cycling is easy to moderate, with a few shorter uphill stretches.
