Activity itinerary

Bari

After checking in and verifying the tickets directly at our agency in Via Nicola de Giosa, the tourists will be escorted to the bus. From there, we will comfortably set off towards Monopoli, enjoying a 45-minute scenic journey through the suggestive landscapes of Puglia

The first stop of the itinerary takes you to discover Monopoli, an ancient seaside city that during the Christmas period combines the beauty of the sea with a festive atmosphere. Arrival and Walk in the Old Town: You will explore a labyrinth of white alleys decorated with elegant lights, garlands, and Christmas decorations. Walking along the ancient stone streets, you can breathe the authentic festive atmosphere of Puglia. Porto Vecchio: You will reach the historic small harbour, where traditional blue and red fishing boats (gozzi) float among the reflections of the Christmas lights and markets on the pier. Charles V Castle: You will admire the majestic Renaissance fortress

Monopoli

  • 30m
After the guided tour through the decorated alleys and the view of the sea of Monopoli, you will return aboard our comfortable minivan reserved for a maximum of 8 passengers. The journey to Alberobello takes about 30 - 35 minutes and will allow you to leave the coast to enter the heart of the Itria Valley. During the climb towards the capital of the Trulli, the driver will tell you the history and secrets of the unique architecture of these dry-stone buildings. You will relax in the heat while the landscape gradually transforms into a real enchanted Christmas village, with the iconic cones beginning to appear illuminated in the distance.

Alberobello

  • 2h
Upon arrival in Alberobello, you will have two full hours to immerse yourselves in the magic of one of the most fascinating UNESCO sites in the world, transformed for the occasion into a real Santa Claus village: Stroll through the illuminated Trulli (Rione Monti and Aia Piccola): You will be free to wander through the historic alleys of the two main districts. In the late afternoon and as evening falls, the stone cones light up with suggestive Christmas light projections, artist illuminations, and festive decorations. Christmas markets and local crafts: Along the route you will find traditional Christmas markets with wooden huts, Lecce stone crafts, Apulian ceramics, and local food and wine products (from typical Christmas sweets to roasted chestnuts and mulled wine to warm up) Visit to the Trullo Sovrano and the Church of Sant'Antonio: You can admire the only trullo-shaped church in the world and take panoramic photos from the most spectacular viewpoints of the village

After the magical stop in Alberobello, you will return to the minivan for a short and evocative transfer of about 10-15 minutes to Locorotondo. During this journey in the heart of the Valle d'Itria, you will cross a countryside landscape dotted with ancient olive trees, dry stone walls, and illuminated old farmhouses. The driver will introduce you to the history of Locorotondo, explaining the origin of its circular shape (from which the name Locus Rotundus comes) and the unique characteristics of the cummerse, the typical stone pitched roofs. It will be a brief moment of relaxation in the heat to prepare to enter what is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, famous for its fairy-tale Christmas decorations.

Upon arrival in Locorotondo, 1 hour and 30 minutes await you to explore in complete freedom what is renowned as one of the most spectacular and well-kept Christmas villages in all of Puglia: An open-air nativity scene: You will walk through the white alleys of the circular historic centre, completely transformed by arches of bright lights, green pine garlands, red bows, and glittering festoons adorning every balcony, staircase, and doorway of the typical houses with pointed roofs. Fairy-tale atmosphere and photo spots: Every alleyway offers enchanted views perfect for taking unforgettable keepsake photos. The attention to detail in the arrangements curated by the residents themselves makes the experience immersive and exciting. Flavours and scents of the holidays: You will have time to take a break in one of the many venues in the centre, tasting a glass of local DOC white wine accompanied by traditional Apulian Christmas sweets,

Having completed the stop in Locorotondo, you will return aboard the minivan for the journey back to Bari, which will last about 1 hour. It will be the perfect time to relax in the heat after a day immersed in the Christmas atmosphere of the Valle d'Itria.
