About Ostuni
Ostuni's whitewashed old town rises in a tight spiral of alleys, arches and centuries-old stone, and its history is best read on foot or among the olive groves that surround it. A good starting point is the Ostuni: Farm Tour Among Ancient Olive Trees with Oil Tasting, which connects the city's identity to the ancient trees still cultivated outside its walls, while the Ostuni Private Tour: The Beautiful Old White Town unpacks the layered architecture of the historic centre with a guide.
