First-timers · Taranto
Taranto sits on a lagoon between two seas, and its food culture reflects that: crudo di mare, mussels from the Mar Piccolo, and a table that still feels local rather than staged. For a first visit, the easiest way in is a hands-on experience such as the Apulia Cooking Class: Learn to Make Orecchiette Pasta in a Trullo, where you shape pasta in a trullo and eat what you make. If you would rather ride than knead, the Locorotondo & Martina Franca: Guided E-bike Loop Tour in the Itria Valley pairs the countryside with stops in the whitewashed towns that supply Taranto's kitchens.
