From the portual city of Monopoli, with its castle and city walls on the sea, to the spectacular and enchanting Castellana Caves, karstic complex that you can visit in a guided tour of 3 km among multicolor stalatthytis and stalagmythis, caves and formations with mythologic names until you reach the "White Cave", the most beautiful cave on the planet.

Conversano will fascinate your spirits with its legend related to the famous and dreadful Earl Giangirolamo, and will conquer your heart with its castle, siege of a strong and powerful county, its churches, its palaces and alleys; Polignano will offer a breathtaking scenery with its historic centre "on the sea", the wonderful Palazzese cave, the balconies and the nice nightlife ambiance.

After stopping at the archaeologic site of Egnazia, with its acropolys, its necropolis, the ancient Trajan Way remainings, you will go through the 400 meters high "Selva di Fasano ", overlooking a fantastic scenery made by trulli, fields and beaches.
