Do you know the province of Lecce? In this bike tour through Alezio, Tuglie and Porto Selvaggio we'll cycle through three of the most beautiful towns in the region of Apulia, in the south of Italy.
Pedal Your Way Through the Lecce Region
We'll meet at the designated time in front of the Gallipoli train station. After familiarizing ourselves with the route, we'll begin our cycling journey through Lecce. This province in the Apulia region of southern Italy is home to charming towns that will leave a lasting impression, and we'll explore three of the most remarkable ones!
As we leave Gallipoli behind, we'll cycle east for about half an hour until we reach Alezio. In this charming village in the province of Lecce, we’ll make our first stop at a local dairy factory, where we’ll enjoy a tasting of various delicious dairy products!
Following the tasting, we'll hop back on our bikes and continue pedaling through the province of Lecce. Our next destination is the town of Tuglie, where we'll pass by the Radio Museum and the Museum of Rural Civilization. Although we won't be visiting the inside of these museums, we’ll have the opportunity to learn some interesting facts and stories about their collections.
Next, we'll continue our ride through the region towards the Natural Reserve of Porto Selvaggio. Here, we can enjoy a refreshing dip in the cool waters of its spring. We'll also take a break under the shade of a beautiful pine forest that borders the coastline—an ideal spot to recharge. Don’t forget to bring along a picnic for a relaxing rest!
After lunch, we'll resume our bike ride through the charming coastal town of Santa Caterina. From there, we’ll make our way back to the meeting point in Gallipoli, concluding this 8-hour tour.
