Bike Tour in the countryside between ancient “Masserie”, “Trulli” and “Specchie”
Daniele, our amiable and enthusiastic guide, will guide you along ancient sheep tracks passing through Ostuni and Ceglie Messapica countryside, small country roads almost abandoned by the traffic and therefore become wonderful cycling routes where silence and beauty of the landscape reigns.
