Give in to the seductions of Basilicata and Puglia, Italy—awash in coastal and mountain landscapes and stone-carved villages—on this sublime walking tour.
In the hidden rural corners of Basilicata and along the spectacular coast of Puglia, Italy, locals love their passeggiate—leisurely strolls—and it’s easy to see why. Soothing waters shimmer in the Adriatic and Ionian seas. Whitewashed villages cut from stone hug the surf-lashed coast and blanket the fertile countryside. And striking landscapes of soaring limestone peaks and river-cut ravines make for some sublime passeggiate of your own. On this stunning walking tour into the heart of two of Italy’s most scenic regions, you’ll follow the paths of ancient farmers and pilgrims, passing olive groves, undulating vineyards, old shepherd settlements, and rock-hewn churches. Marvel at fairy-tale trullo architecture. Meet dedicated artisans who keep local heritage alive. Savor the tantalizing flavor creations of farm-to-fork chefs. And stay in a luxuriously converted cave dwelling, an elegant palace, and a refined masseria farmhouse
