This tour is perfect for those who want to experience the concentrated beauty of Salento in a single loop itinerary.

Starting from Maglie, you’ll cycle through olive groves, dry stone walls, and authentic villages like Palmariggi, eventually reaching the enchanting Sanctuary of Maria SS di Montevergine.

Heading toward the coast, you’ll encounter the natural wonder of the Alimini Lakes, surrounded by pine forests and sandy dunes, before arriving in Otranto, where its historic center overlooks the deep blue Adriatic Sea.

Just outside Otranto, you’ll be amazed by the vibrant colors of the Bauxite Caves, a surreal, almost lunar landscape nestled in the heart of Salento.

On the way back, the route passes through Uggiano la Chiesa, the peaceful Church of San Nicola, and the villages of Giuggianello, Sanarica, and Muro Leccese, rich in ancient stonework and enduring traditions.

The journey comes full circle in Maglie, leaving you with unforgettable memories of nature, history, and the sea. πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈπŸŒΏπŸŒŠπŸ° A ride to remember!
