Direction Ostuni! 

Starting point of our bike trip we took the time to discover this city which has a certain charm. Perched on a hill, you can see the sea from Ostuni.

The sunsets are also magnificent.

The train station is quite far from the city 30-40 min walk and 10 min drive.

There is a free shuttle bus when you arrive by train that passes every 30 minutes or so at the station in the direction of the historic center.

What to do in Ostuni?

Make the Itria Valley by bike or car

Ostuni is one of the starting points of the Itria Valley.
We have concocted a specific article on the subject. But you will find many agencies that rent electric bikes.
For our part, we went through Cristal E-Bike which offers electric bikes at 40 € per day.

To have these views, you can go to the Piazzetta Martiri delle Foibe – Belvedere di Ostuni or as in the photo on the left in an alley on the left after the police station following the road of Corso Vittorio Emmanuele V (here)
