Alberobello and Polignano a Mare
Show maps

When it comes to Alberobello, one simply cannot overlook its iconic trulli: currently numbering around a thousand. These traditional dwellings have held the status of a national monument since 1930 and have more recently been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The trullo, a symbol of timeless rural architecture, has long been intertwined with the essence of Puglia, serving as one of the region's most emblematic representations of its rural heritage.

We will enjoy a guided tour of Alberobello: finally we will discover together what the "trulli" are!

After a short drive we’ll arrive in Polignano a Mare. Perched on dramatic cliffs overlooking the Adriatic, it captivates visitors with its breathtaking views and historic charm. With its labyrinth of narrow streets, ancient churches, and azure waters, this seaside town is a true gem of Puglia.

Towards the end of the day, we’ll head back to Bari for our last evening together.

Included: overnight stay, breakfast, guided tour Alberobello and rental cars

Money pot: fuel, any extra activities
