Set Departure 8-Day Apulia Tour – Itinerary

Trani – Monte San Angelo – San Giovanni Rotondo – Vieste –

– Umbria Forest – Barletta – Bari – Grutas de Castellana –

– Alberobello – Ostuni – Lecce – Otranto – Matera

Step off the tourist trail and into the soul of Italy on this immersive journey through Apulia and beyond. From the cathedral on the sea in Trani to the stone-carved dwellings of Matera, this 8-day experience for 2 weaves together iconic history, regional flavors, and landscapes few travelers ever truly see.

Unfolding across UNESCO towns, coastal villages, ancient grottoes, and olive-draped hills, your trip includes 4-star accommodations, full board meals, and a dedicated multilingual guide escort. Along the way, savor regional specialties—from fresh Altamura bread to rich local olive oils—paired with the hospitality of southern Italy’s sun-warmed charm.

Visit the trulli rooftops of Alberobello, walk the whitewashed streets of Ostuni, and explore the baroque splendor of Lecce. In Otranto, stand on Italy’s edge, looking out toward the rising sun and the ancient crossroads of East and West. In Matera, wander the hauntingly beautiful cave dwellings that make this one of Italy’s most extraordinary cities.

Between stops, you’ll enjoy coach travel with panoramic views, welcome cocktails, tastings, and guided storytelling that connects you to each site in meaningful ways. For those who seek more than postcards— go deeper, stay longer, and see the Italy most only dream about.
