Cycling holidays in Puglia are a joy. Quiet, winding roads cross flat plains and gentle hills, leading you past ancient olive groves and vineyards to charming whitewashed villages and baroque towns. The Adriatic and Ionian coastlines provide gorgeous beaches and breathtaking sea views to also enjoy along the way and each evening you can enjoy the region's renowned, mouthwatering food and wine.
We offer a number of different cycling holidays in Puglia, from a short, 5 night Puglia Cycling Break around the tip of Italy's heel to a 9 night Puglia and Matera Cycling Holiday that takes in the whole region, including the Trulli houses of Alberobello, the white village of Ostuni and 2 nights in the fascinating city of Matera in Basilicata.
Our easy cycling holidays offer short daily rides on mostly level terrain. A typical day’s ride will take 2 – 3 hours at a leisurely pace and the remainder of the day will be free for you to explore further or simply relax. These rides are particularly recommended for newcomers to cycling holidays and for families.
Our leisurely cycle holidays will suit those who are reasonably fit through regular exercise of one kind or another – not necessarily cycling. On the whole, the terrain will be level but there may also be a few small hills to contend with along the way too. Daily rides will typically take around 3 – 4 hours to complete.
Our moderate cycle holidays are for regular cyclists, who are used to longer rides with regular climbs. A good level of fitness is needed and you can expect to be in the saddle for between 4 and 5 hours each day.
These holidays are for seasoned cyclists who cycle long distances regularly and who enjoy the thrill of long days in the saddle. There will undoubtedly be some challenging climbs along the way and you can expect to cover between 55 and 75 miles each day.
A 5 night cycling break exploring the southern tip of Puglia. Starting and finishing in the beautiful old town of Lecce with its butter coloured sandstone buildings, this charming route leads you along quiet country lanes and coastal roads to historic towns and sleepy villages.
