Set off on a scenic journey through the rolling landscapes of Puglia as you travel toward Ostuni—one of Italy’s most enchanting hilltop towns. As the brilliant white houses begin to appear on the horizon, you may feel as though you’ve been transported to a sun‑soaked Greek island.

Perched across three hills and wrapped in protective ancient walls, Ostuni is a maze of winding alleyways, flower‑filled lanes, hidden courtyards, and stone staircases just waiting to be explored. Every corner reveals a new postcard-perfect scene.

Your guided walk begins at the age-old fortifications, where sweeping views stretch across silvery olive groves to the sparkling Adriatic Sea. As you make your way toward the heart of the Old Town, you’ll arrive at Piazza della Libertà—home to the elegant Town Hall and the impressive column dedicated to Saint Oronzo, the town’s patron saint.

Continue on to the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. Built in 1495, this masterpiece features an ornate rose window and captivating Gothic‑Romanesque architecture.

After your guided visit, enjoy free time to wander at your own pace. Browse charming boutiques, pick up local crafts, or simply relax with a gelato while soaking up the town’s irresistible atmosphere.
