Begin your day with a private pick-up service directly from your hotel in Santa Maria di Leuca (or from an agreed meeting point). Meet your professional bilingual driver and settle into an elegant luxury car or van.
As you leave Santa Maria di Leuca behind, the landscape unfolds like a cinematic sequence of ancient olive groves, traditional masserie, and sparkling glimpses of the Adriatic coastline. During the journey, your driver may share local insights and stories, creating the perfect atmosphere for a day that blends history, culture, and beautiful scenery.
Upon arrival, you will begin your self-guided tour, exploring the destinations freely and at your own pace. While you visit each location on foot, your driver will remain at your disposal, with a precise meeting time and location arranged in advance to ensure complete peace of mind. This thoughtful organisation allows you to enjoy every stop without rush, stress, or logistical concerns.
Your first destination will be Bari, the vibrant capital of Puglia. In Bari Vecchia, the historic old town, narrow alleys open into lively squares where daily life still unfolds as it has for generations. Discover artisan workshops, small churches, and the authentic rhythm of local life. Visit the magnificent Basilica di San Nicola, an important pilgrimage site and a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture. Then enjoy a stroll along the Bari seafront promenade, where the Adriatic stretches endlessly before you and golden light reflects against the ancient city walls.
Continue to Trani, an elegant seaside town known for its refined atmosphere and architectural beauty. The picturesque Port of Trani welcomes visitors with relaxed coastal charm. The Cathedral of San Nicola Pellegrino rises dramatically by the sea and is one of the most striking Romanesque churches in Southern Italy. Stroll along the waterfront and through the historic centre of Trani, admiring noble palaces and sunlit piazzas that tell stories of medieval prosperity and maritime trade. Overlooking the sea, the Swabian Castle of Trani stands as a reminder of Frederick II’s legacy and the city’s strategic importance through the centuries.
Throughout the day, the schedule is organised to ensure a relaxed pace without rushing. This is your time to explore deeply, not quickly.
At the end of the experience, your private driver will comfortably escort you back to Santa Maria di Leuca, directly to your hotel or to the agreed meeting point.
