FROM MARTINA FRANCA TO OSTUNI

Travelling through the land of the Messapi

DESCRIPTION
Departure from Martina Franca through an area dense with Mediterranean vegetation, dotted with almond groves, olive groves and vineyards to Ceglie Messapica, the capital of gastronomy, to San Michele Salentino, further to San Vito dei Normanni on the Adriatic coast, an area dotted with fortified “masserias” surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, up to the white city of Ostuni, a balcony on the Adriatic, via the beautiful Carovigno.
