Proposal for a journeyexpand/compress

day 1

Alberobello

The first stop on the itinerary is Alberobello, world heritage site of UNESCO and centre of the Trulli District, home to the greatest concentration of trulli. The village, which preserves its old-time charm, offers a unique opportunity to admire the ancient art of the trullari at the Maffei workshops. The second stop of the day is at Locorotondo, whose white houses dominate the valley. Make sure you pop into the church of S. Maria della Greca for a quick look around.


day 2

Martina Franca

The following day is entirely devoted to the “queen of the Itria Valley”, Martina Franca, an elegant baroque maze of narrow streets and white houses. We suggest taking a break in one of the many workshops, to taste some of the traditional local fare, such as bocconotti, or cream filled pastries, and capocollo ham.


day 3

Cisternino

The last day, head towards Cisternino, with its white houses, its towers (Amati Tower, Capece or Wind Tower, and the Norman Tower of Porta Grande), and its numerous artisan workshops.
