Day 1
Our tour starts today in Altamura, a pretty town with a walled old quarter of flagstone streets and white-washed buildings, located on Puglia's sparsely populated limestone Murge Plateau. Our tour leader plans to meet everyone in the hotel reception at 6pm for a welcome meeting. Afterwards, our journey of culinary discovery commences with an included dinner of regional dishes at the popular Tre Archi restaurant. Our husband-and-wife hosts, Nina and Peppino, serve up a feast of home-grown vegetables and other locally sourced produce in an amazing array of traditional Puglian antipasti appetisers. There are no other activities planned today. If you'd like an airport transfer today, you'll need to arrive into Bari International Airport - Karol Wojtyla (BRI), which is around a 50-minute drive from Altamura. If you miss the welcome meeting, your tour leader will inform you of any essential information as soon as you catch up.
Day 2
Altamura is famous for being the only town in Italy with a DOP (standing for 'protected designation of origin') recognised bread. The bread has a hard crust and creamy coloured dough and usually comes in very large round loaves. We'll start the morning with a 20-minute walk to visit a well-known Altamura DOP bakery where we'll watch the art of making and baking the bread in huge wood-fired ovens. Naturally, our visit includes the chance to taste the freshly made bread! The afternoon is free to spend your own time exploring more of the narrow alleyways and closed courtyards of unspoilt Altamura. Alternatively, you might like to take the local train to the nearby town of Gravina which has a fascinating underground city of rock-cut caverns, churches and passages.
Day 3
This morning, we'll take a short drive to Nina and Peppino's vegetable garden to see how they cultivate the vegetables served at their table, learn about the local varieties and help harvest them. We then go to their restaurant, the Tre Archi, for a hands-on cooking lesson where we'll learn to prepare the distinct Puglian pasta known as orecchiette - meaning little ears - as well as learn the tricks of how to prepare oven-baked vegetables, one of the specialities of the house. For lunch, we'll eat what we've prepared during the cooking class. In the afternoon we drive out of the town to the Alta Murgia National Park where we start our walk from the Pulo di Altamura, a giant sinkhole, some 500 metres/1,640 feet wide and 80 metres/262 feet deep and one of the park's most impressive geological features. The steep rock face is embedded with caves that have been inhabited since prehistoric times and are an important nesting ground for rare birds and a habitat for native flowers and other plants. We walk through a landscape of cultivated fields and wild grasslands along footpaths and cart tracks, passing old, abandoned farms. The walk ends at the Lamalunga archaeological museum where we'll learn about the life and fate of 'Altamura man', a Neanderthal who fell down a sinkhole around 150,000 years ago and whose bones became fused with the stalactites in the cave walls. Today's 8-kilometre/4.97-mile walk has an ascent of 30 metres/98.4 feet and a descent of 90 metres/295 feet and is expected to take around two hours.
Day 4
This morning's walk is in the environs of the Castel del Monte, around a one-hour drive from Altramura, standing on a hill on the edge of the Alta Murgia National Park. The 13th-century citadel is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was the source of inspiration for the novel 'The Name of the Rose'. Around the castle, fine wines are produced of the 'uva di Troia' (Troy) grape variety. We'll start with a climb towards the castle through a shady forest, descend the other side and continue through fields lined with dry stone walls and dotted with small ancient trulli (the white, conical-roofed, beehive-shaped structures that are typical of this part of Puglia). In this sparsely populated region, the vast open views are spectacular. Our walk ends at a local organic farm, Masseria Sei Carri where we enjoy an included lunch of local produce. After lunch, we'll drive back to Castel del Monte for a guided visit before continuing on to our next destination, the town of Matera, over the provincial border in Basilicata. The town is impressively located on the side of a gorge eroded by the Gravina River and is famous for its ancient 'Sassi', a UNESCO-listed troglodyte quarter whose origins date back to the prehistoric era. In the 1950s the government of Italy forcibly relocated most of the population of the Sassi which it considered a slum. Today the quarter is regenerating with hotels and other businesses moving in. Today's 8-kilometre/4.97-mile walk has an ascent and descent of 250 metres/820 feet and is expected to take around two-and-a-half to three hours.
Day 5
This morning is left free to explore the neighbourhood of the Sassi where the stone dwellings are partially cut deep into the rock. This part of Matera has been continuously inhabited for 5,000 years. Your Leader can arrange a guided tour with a licensed guide for those interested. Roaming through the maze of narrow alleys, up and down the stone stairs you will find yourself transported to a distant past. Sit down on a terrace of one of the bars for a cappuccino and soak up this magical atmosphere. In the afternoon we plan to set off direct from the town, on a walk through the deep gorge that cuts through the plain just outside the town. The walk also takes us to see some ancient rock churches. Today's 3.5-kilometre/2.17-mile walk is expected to take around two hours, with an ascent of 200 metres/656 feet and a descent of 170 metres/557 feet. Please note, the path down into the gorge from Matera has been closed for some time and it's not clear when it will reopen. If it's not possible to do this walk, we'll drive round to the other side of the gorge for a circular walk around the Belvedere di Timeo for some spectacular views back towards Matera. This 1.5-kilometre/0.93-mile walk is expected to take approximately one hour with a total ascent and descent both of 100 metres/328 feet.
Day 6
This morning, we'll leave Matera and drive to visit an organic cheese maker who has won several national and international prizes. We'll see how mozzarella, trecce and nodini are made and try the freshly made cheeses. We'll then continue on to Cisternino, a charming town of whitewashed houses, shady streets, historic churches and elegant piazzas. It is famous for its butcher shops which serve a local barbecued delicacy known as bombette, little meat parcels filled with mince, ham and cheese, as well as other grills. We enjoy a walking tour here and buying lunch from one of the butchers is highly recommended. After lunch, we'll visit an olive oil mill that produces oil using both a traditional and a modern press. We tour the mill and walk in the surrounding fields to see the ancient olive trees, followed by a tasting of the oils produced here. We'll then drive on to our final destination of the holiday, the coastal fishing town of Monopoli. With its bustling harbour, splendid white-washed houses and narrow alleyways with several excellent fish restaurants, we experience another authentic slice of Puglian life. Our charming accommodation is a concept known as albergo diffuso, individual rooms and apartments in a variety of locations in the heart of the old town with a central breakfast location.
Day 7
We'll start the day with a walk through Monopoli. Later, we'll head inland to visit Alberobello in the Itria Valley - famous for its iconic trulli buildings. A trullo (plural - trulli) is a traditional dry-stone hut with a conical roof and often white-washed walls, which were generally constructed in the 19th century as both dwellings and storehouses. Trullo are built singly or in groups of up to five trulli, and a group would be occupied by a single family. Inside an individual trullo dome is just one room, although additional separate spaces were created by curtains hung across arched alcoves. As well as wandering in the town, there's the option to visit the Cantina Albea and the wine museum for a tasting of local Puglian wines, both still and sparkling - an excellent aperativo before our final dinner! We'll round off our culinary explorations with a last meal either in Alberobello or back in Monopoli.
Day 8
The trip ends after breakfast at our hotel in Monopoli. There are no activities planned today, so you're free to depart from Monopoli at any time. If you're departing later in the day, luggage storage facilities are available at our hotel. If you'd like an airport transfer today, you'll need to depart from Bari International Airport - Karol Wojtyla (BRI), which is around a 50-minute drive from the hotel.
