The walking and cycling trails on our Puglia holidays pull off a perfect duet of both cultural and natural heritage. Walk between the two UNESCO towns of Matera and Alberobello, with their respective ancient rock churches and trulli stone houses, and then leave buildings and bustle behind to saunter through the coastal idyll of Dune Costiere Regional Natural Park. For pure Puglian coastal vibe, the southern tip, hiking between Otranto and Gagliano del Capo is just made for sunset swimming spots after luscious hikes. And the wine, mamma mia, don’t start us on the wine.
