There are many marvelous hill towns to discover from here, including Martina Franca, Ostuni, Alberobello and Locorotondo to name a few. Each of these towns boast a market selling local produce as well as the usual market fayre. There are excellent beaches both on the Adriatic side and the Mediterranean (approx 35 mins) with fish shacks selling their BBQ'd fresh catch at extremely low prices. The perfect way to spend a lunchtime...often extending into an afternoon. The local wine is excellent and very cheap from the local Cantina's but beware of the Primitivo( up to 17%!) We are about an hours drive from the amazing cave town of Matera, once home of the ancient Sassi people. See the ancient olive trees that were present on the Appian way 2000 years ago.
The famous 'Banana Club' is a three minute drive or 15 minute walk away. Open all day with a fabulous pool, sports facilities and restaurant. An excellent base for walkers. We can also arrange pottery, textiles and art classes nearby.
