What a wonder! Grecìa Salentina is truly a cultural gem in the heart of Salento. This consortium of municipalities, which today includes twelve towns, is a Greek-speaking linguistic island where Grico, a neo-Greek dialect, has endured for centuries. Although today it is mainly spoken by the elderly, its influence is still visible in the traditions, architecture, and atmosphere of these villages.

Your bike tour sounds like an extraordinary experience! Cycling through these towns means immersing yourself in a millennial-old history, among olive groves, dry stone walls, and underground oil mills and Dolmens all testaments to a past deeply connected to Greek culture.

Have you already visited these villages, or will this be your first time?
