About Apulia

Apulia packs Norman castles, Greek-speaking towns and prehistoric cave dwellings into a single region, so a well-chosen day trip here reads like a condensed history of the Mediterranean. The Full-Day Tour from Lecce: Otranto, S.M. Leuca, Gallipoli & Galatina traces the Salento's Byzantine and Baroque layers, while the Altamura & Matera: Full-Day Private Tour from Bari with Expert Guide crosses into Basilicata's rock-cut sassi for a lesson in how people lived long before tourism arrived.

Frequently asked questions

Apulia layers Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Norman and Baroque history within short driving distances. A single day can cover Castel del Monte, the trulli of Alberobello and the cave city of Matera, with guides explaining how each culture left its mark on architecture, language and food rather than just pointing out photo stops.
