GIORNO 1:
11 km
A nature walk to discover together one of the most beautiful places in the region. The starting point is Ostuni, the white town famous for its labyrinth of alleyways and stairways. From here we will start our excursion through the most typical Apulian countryside: we will walk in the heart of the Piana degli Ulivi, an endless expanse of red earth and olive trees, which will leave you speechless with their impossible shapes and their millenary life! But our journey is also rich in history: we will arrive at the Sanctuary of San Biagio, an ancient monastery dating back to the Byzantine era, from which you will be able to see a magnificent panorama of land and olive trees reaching as far as the shores of the sea. Along the way there is another place of worship, the small sanctuary of Sant’Oronzo with its miraculous spring. Finally, we will easily return to Ostuni, ready to lose ourselves in this unique town suspended between land and sea.
