Puglia & Basilicata: A Cyclist’s Escape
Puglia and Basilicata are regions that invite exploration with their unspoiled landscapes and timeless charm.
Away from the well-trodden tourist trails, these two southern Italian gems offer riders an unparalleled mix of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and captivating challenges.

Puglia’s gently rolling terrain and striking coastline contrast beautifully with Basilicata’s rugged hills and remote, ancient villages. Together, they create a playground for cyclists seeking diverse routes, from tranquil seaside rides to exhilarating climbs. These regions reward every turn of the pedal with sweeping views of olive groves, limestone cliffs, and winding roads through quiet, postcard-perfect towns.
Cycling here is more than just a sport; it’s an immersion into southern Italy’s rhythm. The pace of life slows as you ride past sunlit vineyards and trulli-dotted fields, while the echoes of history accompany you through centuries-old towns. Each route promises both physical challenges and moments of awe, inspiring a deeper connection to the land and its stories.
For experienced cyclists, Puglia and Basilicata offer routes that invigorate the body and spark the imagination. Whether you’re tackling quiet backroads or weaving through ancient villages, every kilometre is an invitation to discover the unexpected.
“Not just the best cycling experience of my life but one of the best experiences all round. An amazing trip with awesome people. What wasn’t to love.
Chapeau Volta!”
