About this guide

The Itria Valley is the heart of Puglia: olive groves, dry-stone walls, vineyards and cone-roofed trulli. The towns are so close you can see three or four in a day.

The guide gives you a logical route without backtracking, a walking loop in every town and our favourite places to eat.

What you’ll see

  • Alberobello’s trulli: Rione Monti and Aia Piccola
  • Locorotondo, one of Italy’s most beautiful villages
  • A “fornello pronto” dinner in Cisternino
  • Ostuni, the white city on a hill
