On foot
Set routes through olive country, along the dune coast and across the Valle d'Itria, plus walking packages with stays and tables arranged.
Ancient olive groves, dry stone walls, coastal paths and hill towns that appear white against the ridge. These are the routes we walk ourselves around Ostuni. Take one as it is, or let us build a longer journey from several of them.

Low rocks and clear water on the coast south of Ostuni.

Shallow sand and small waves at the end of a long walk.
Gentle half days, full days or several days linked together. Your choice, not a fixed itinerary.
Olive country, limestone ridges, the coast and the quiet inland between them.
Small towns worth arriving at on foot and time to sit down once you do.
The walking is planned around where you will eat, which is the correct order.
Routes are proposed and planned with you. Conditions, access and timing are confirmed case by case and we do not publish fixed departures.
