Your experience begins with a panoramic drive past Piazza Castello, home to the atmospheric remains of the Temple of Poseidon, dating back to the 6th century BC. Nearby, admire the imposing Castello Aragonese, a magnificent 15th‑century fortress rising dramatically from the water’s edge.
As you continue, you’ll witness Taranto’s famed “two seas” before travelling along the picturesque Trulli route; rolling hills dotted with centuries‑old olive trees, dry‑stone walls and the iconic trulli, with their distinctive cone‑shaped roofs. You'll head towards the charming hilltop towns of Martina Franca and Locorotondo, offering a unique blend of nature, tradition and history capturing the true essence of Puglia.
Your journey concludes at a traditional frantoio, or olive oil mill, where you’ll enjoy an authentic introduction to one of the region’s most treasured products. Learn how extra‑virgin olive oil is crafted and delight in a tasting that showcases its rich, flavorful character.
