Ostuni and Olive Oil

Ostuni and Olive Oil

Join our excursion to Ostuni, a pretty town peppered with gleaming centuries-old whitewashed buildings. It is spread over three hills and surrounded by olive groves, boasting a magnificent Gothic cathedral, a lovely place for a leisurely stroll. Make your way through narrow streets spanned by elegant archways or maybe take a seat in a café and just enjoy the views. The local museum houses some interesting artefacts and there are plenty of tempting shops if you want to pick up a souvenir.

A visit will also be made to a local olive oil producer where you’ll see first-hand how the oil is produced and then get to sample the final product.

Trani and Castel del Monte

Trani and Castel del Monte

You’re sure to be charmed by the picturesque coastal town of Trani, a lovely place to explore, wander or just relax. Watch fishermen at work in the busy harbour or take a stroll through the narrow streets of the Jewish quarter to the cathedral, which occupies a spectacular spot at the water’s edge. Later, visit the 13th century Castel del Monte, one of Italy’s finest castles, built by Emperor Frederick II. In contrast to Trani’s simple cathedral, this masterpiece of architecture which resembles a crown – probably a symbol of Frederick’s power – is visible from afar thanks to its isolated hilltop position.
