Discover the authentic charm of the Salento on a 30-km e-bike tour with the maps we will provide, which can also be viewed on your phone. This route will take you to explore some of the most picturesque locations in the marinas of Melendugno, immersing you in breathtaking landscapes, crystal-clear waters and places rich in history, culture and tradition.
The loop tour starts in Melendugno, where you will pick up your e-bikes. You will cycle along a cycling route among dry stone walls and ancient farms. The first stop is San Foca, a picturesque seaside resort famous for its enchanting beaches and crystal-clear sea. After a short visit to the harbour and the coast, you will head for Roca Vecchia, one of the most important archaeological sites in Puglia, known for its Poesia Cave, a spectacular natural pool set in limestone rock, considered one of the most beautiful in the world.
Continuing along the coast, you will reach Torre dell'Orso, known for its fine white sand beach, surrounded by a lush pine forest. Here you can take a relaxing break with a coffee or homemade gelato, enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of the bay, overlooked by an ancient watchtower.
The tour continues on to the picturesque Faraglioni di Sant'Andrea, a true natural paradise. The high cliffs, sculpted by wind and waves, offer a spectacular panorama. On this stretch of coastline, nature has created rock arches and sea caves that make the place one of the most fascinating and photographed in Salento.
The experience will end with your return to Melendugno.
This tour is perfect for those who want to explore Salento completely independently, following their own pace and immersing themselves in the wonders of one of Italy's most beautiful coastlines. The experience offers a perfect combination of nature, culture, and tradition, guaranteeing unforgettable moments.
