DESCRIPTION

This tour will give you the opportunity to visit three significant villages in Puglia on a comfortable minivan with air conditioning and a professional driver who will give you information about the history of the towns and the places to visit.

The first stop of the tour is Ostuni, a picturesque town known as the "White City". It boasts a wonderful historic centre, rich with alleys and whitewashed houses, which recalls an oriental landscape. You will have free time to visit the old town centre decorated in Christmas lights, characterized by alleys, sloping stairs, courtyards and small squares, where whitewashed houses, craft shops and typical small shops appear.

 After Ostuni we will reach Alberobello. Visiting the beautiful Alberobello is like a journey in a timeless country. You will have free time at disposal to explore its characteristic historic centre, a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1996  .It is integrally made up of Trulli, particular white, pyramidal structures that make it unique in the world. At this time of year is a unique experience to be enjoyed: Christmas music, homemade desserts, traditional Christmas decorations,performances by street artists. It’s a magical world that seems almost unreal!

After Alberobello you will visit Locorotondo nicknamed "the balcony on the Itria Valley" because of its spectacular valley view. Considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, it offers visitor the opportunity to get lost among picturesque narrow stone streets and small white houses with gable roofs called "Cummerse".

Christmas in Locorotondo is enchanting and magical, the contrast between the red of the Christmas decorations and the whiteness of the village together with the majestic lights and the traditional and inimitable Nativity scene, give a fairytale atmosphere.
