Apulia/Puglia
Magic best enjoyed by bike.
Simple and sweet. Does such pleasure still exist? A place with real fairy-tale houses and villages? Where Nonna (grandma) still makes a fresh pasta and seafood dinner for the WHOLE family every Sunday? Where the cycling too is simple and sweet? It is here, in the Italian region of Apulia/Puglia. It is true that there is magical atmosphere; a slower lifestyle that will touch your heart.
Escape to this enchanting place. By bike you can see each rock that makes up the small, round houses known as trulli. By bike you can smell the tomatoes and peppers cooking for dinner. And, you will bike by ancient olive groves known, even in Italy, for its wonderful olive oil. Take a break from your enjoyable ride along the beautiful beaches of this region. Enjoy classic seafood meals in the evening. The lifestyle is simple and authentic. Do not miss the magic of this journey.
