Private Excursion Alberobello, Locorotondo, Monopoli

The day begins with departure from Bari, the capital city of Puglia, accompanied by a private driver and an expert guide throughout the journey.
The first stop is Alberobello, a unique place in the world, famous for its trulli, ancient stone houses with conical roofs. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alberobello is a fairytale village where strolling through its narrow alleys and admiring the architectural beauty of the trulli becomes an unforgettable experience. The visit includes the Aia Piccola district, less touristy and more authentic, where the trulli are still inhabited.

Leaving Alberobello behind, the tour continues to Locorotondo, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, known for its circular layout and characteristic white houses. The village is famous for its white wine production and offers a breathtaking view of the Itria Valley, also known as the “valley of the trulli.” The visit includes a stroll through the historic center, with stops to admire the churches and flower-adorned balconies.

The tour then heads to Monopoli, a coastal city that combines the charm of the sea with a rich historical heritage. Monopoli is known for its old town, Romanesque churches, and medieval walls overlooking the sea. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the old harbor, visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria della Madia, and walk along the ancient walls. During the stop, you can enjoy a typical Puglian lunch at one of the seaside restaurants, specializing in fresh seafood dishes.

For those who wish, the excursion can end in Polignano a Mare, an enchanting coastal village known for its spectacular cliffs overlooking the sea and crystal-clear waters. The historic center, with its narrow streets, maintains an authentic and evocative atmosphere. Polignano offers breathtaking views, fascinating sea caves, and a cuisine rich in Mediterranean flavors. The village is a must-see for anyone visiting Puglia.

After visiting Polignano a Mare, the tour returns to Bari. The total duration of the tour is about 7-8 hours, offering a complete experience rich in history and culture.

The tour is intense but well-balanced between cultural visits, exploring picturesque villages, and relaxing by the coast.
