You roll out of town on an assisted bike as limestone cliffs and silver-green olive canopies spread across the plain. The air smells faintly of earth and pressed olives; tyres whisper over country lanes while the city of Ostuni perches white above you, its walls and cathedral catching the light.

You roll out of town on an assisted bike as limestone cliffs and silver-green olive canopies spread across the plain. The air smells faintly of earth and pressed olives; tyres whisper over country lanes while the city of Ostuni perches white above you, its walls and cathedral catching the light.
This three-hour loop mixes living agricultural history with medieval architecture. Puglia’s karst geology creates shallow soils where ancient olive trees anchor terraces; some trunks in the area are centuries to a millennium old and hollowed by time. Ostuni—often called the White City—grew around defensive walls and a medieval core, with the Santa Maria Assunta cathedral and its large rosoni standing out on the main piazza. Local farming culture remains visible: stone walls, dry-stacked terraces, and seasonal olive harvest rhythms.
Expect mostly flat to gently rolling terrain: roughly 10–15 km of pedaling through paved rural roads and compact dirt lanes with minimal elevation gain, suitable for electric pedal-assist bikes. Stops include a rock village, cathedral viewpoints, and a visit to a thousand‑year‑old olive. Guides explain olive cultivation and regional food traditions as you ride.
Practical notes: wear closed-toe shoes and long trousers where bushes line the path, carry sun protection, and use the provided helmet. Morning departures avoid heat and make the light on the whitewashed facades best for photos. This ride balances relaxed sightseeing with close-up rural landscapes—an easy, sensory way to read Puglia’s living history.
