Then transfer and accommodation at the hotel.

OPTIONAL EXCURSION Old Bari, heart of the city of Bari 

Bari Vieja is a place where time seems to stop in its simplicity and authenticity. Walking through the narrow streets of this neighborhood, you can breathe the air of history, tradition and customs transmitted from generation to generation. The style of the buildings in the old town reflects the intertwining of the different eras that have characterized the architecture and daily life of this place.

After breakfast, we leave for Polignano a Mare, a wonderful medieval town perched on a high and steep coast. Walk to discover the alleys of the little town, between white houses and terraces overlooking the sea that reveal a unique and unforgettable panorama. We continue towards Monopoli, defined as the city of a hundred neighborhoods. Walk through its charming old town with the wonderful baroque cathedral and its promenade. Return to the hotel.

After breakfast at the hotel, departure to Alberobello with its monumental town of Trulli that dates back to the mid-16th century and has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its particular architecture and its historical importance. In the afternoon we continue to Locorotondo, which attracts its visitors because of the white color that seems to surround everything, because of the color of the flowers and plants that protrude from the balconies of the houses. Locorotondo, despite being so small, draws attention for the harmony of each of its parts, for the intimacy and grace it expresses: a city of light, all white, that dominates the valley from which it emerges. To finish, transfer to the hotel in Lecce.
