Thanks to its central position in Puglia, Alberobello offers not only the unique trulli but also a wide range of opportunities to visit many other interesting and outstanding places. Our recommendations:

Itria Valley – charming valley dotted with trulli, farms, woods, olive groves and vineyards surrounding the most characteristic towns of the area.

Zoo Safari and Fasanolandia – the oldest animal park in Italy and an amusement park near Fasano along the Adriatic coast.

Egnatia ruins – interesting archaeological site.

Inside its court every year between July and August the renowned Festival della Valle d’Itria – opera and ancient music recital – takes place.

Ostuni – set on a hilltop just a few kilometres from the Adriatic Sea, this town is often referred to with the name of “città bianca” (white town) due to the dazzling white of the lime-painted houses of the old town.
