The first stop at the Castellana Caves: The Castellana Caves represent a complex of underground cavities of karst origin, of considerable tourist interest, among the most beautiful and spectacular in Italy. They are located in the municipality of Castellana-Grotte, about 1.5 km from the town.

The marvelous Castellana Caves attract people from all over the world, and since they opened to the public, more than 15 million visitors have explored their labyrinthine underground passages. The route through the caves extends for 3 kilometers: an adventurous guided tour that winds at a maximum depth of approximately 122 meters underground, offering a breathtaking spectacle with caves, canyons, deep precipices, fossils and rock formations such as stalactites and stalagmites, with astonishing colors and extraordinary shapes that capture the imagination of both young people and adults. The Castellana Caves represent an unmissable opportunity to admire one of the most astonishing natural places in a splendid region like Puglia.

 

Skip the queue at the cash desk: the price of the ticket always includes direct entry to the caves with the complete route lasting approximately 100 minutes with an expert guide.

 

The departure times of the tour in the Caves are as follows:

  • The guide in English is available at 10.45 am
  • The guide in Italian is available at 11:00


Second stop in Locorotondo: one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, famous for its typical food, baroque palaces and artisan workshops that help create breathtaking views worthy of ending up on a postcard or in your souvenir photos. We recommend having lunch here at one of the excellent local restaurants.

 

Third stop in Ostuni: one of the unmissable attractions of Puglia. It is a delightful town built on three hills and also known as "the white city" for the typical white lime walls of its houses. Ostuni stands on the headlands of the Adriatic coast and shines with its white houses a few steps from the sea. Due to its charm it is almost impossible not to fall in love with this magical town.
