Southern Italian lifestyle is also about nature. Breathing in the perfumes of the wild flowers and touching the ancient, gnarled bark of the olive trees. Take a morning or afternoon to explore the hidden trails with our expert guide and feel the stresses of modern life just fall away. A range of hikes are available, from the rolling countryside of the old aqueduct to the rock churches and old shrines hidden in the hills around Ostuni. Each hike normally lasts about 90 minutes and will be accompanied by fascinating tales of the area’s rural culture.

Afterwards we’ll travel to the magical “white city” of Ostuni. Think white-washed streets and picturesque piazzas, brimming with café culture. Along the city walls you can see the Aragonese towers rising out of the rock and enjoy the stunning views over the sweeping plains of olive trees all the way to the Adriatic Sea. The citadel is a labyrinth of impossibly-charming alleyways, decked with flower boxes that contrast against the striking white walls and clear blue sky. Take a walk with our guide and immerse yourself in the lifestyle of Southern Italy.
