You will book autonomously the accommodations according to the program of the tracks, also make sure that the facilities have a reception open during our time slots of luggage transfer and finally check that you have the possibility to store the bikes safely.

For the luggage transfer is important that the structures are not in historic centers as usually inaccessible to cars, in which case we may require a surcharge. In case you want to be sure to choose well we can show you some bike friendly accommodations or that we already know.

The first day we will meet at your accommodation and during the delivery of the bike we will carry out a bike fitting and briefing where we will explain in detail the tracks and how to use our gps navigator, you will also receive a leaflet. The time of moving luggage will be every day from 9.00 am to 3.00 pm, different times can be agreed in advance upon our availability.

Adriatica coast – Itria Valley – Salento - Trulli's Murgia - Matera

A fascinating journey to experience most of the treasures of Puglia. Starting from Matera, the wonderful city of the Sassi, carved into the tuff and declared a World Heritage Site, you will continue to the area of South East Barese and the 'Murgia dei Trulli', where it will be desirable to visit Alberobello (also a Unesco heritage site) famous for its charming trulli with conical roofs, the nearby coastal Polignano a Mare with its terraces overlooking the sea and the underground caves of Castellana. From here, following undulating nature trails, you will reach the heart of Valle d'Itria: Locorotondo, a village perched on a hill and known for its fine white wine; Cisternino; Ostuni, called the 'white city' for the whiteness of its walls and houses. At the end of the visit of this area you can take advantage of a train transfer with bike to reach the Salento where you can be enchanted by the baroque Lecce, as well as Otranto and Gallipoli and a whole series of small coastal villages between the Adriatic and Ionian Sea and places of extraordinary beauty and natural value.
