What you can expect

  • Discover the authentic charm of Salento on a 30-km e-bike tour with the maps we'll provide, which you can also view on your phone. This route will take you to explore some of the most picturesque locations in the marinas of Melendugno, immersing you in breathtaking landscapes, crystal-clear waters and places rich in history, culture and traditions.

    The loop tour starts in Melendugno, where you will pick up your e-bikes and cycle along a cycling route between dry-stone walls and ancient masserias. The first stop is San Foca, a picturesque seaside resort famous for its stunning beaches and crystal-clear sea. After a brief visit to the harbor and the coast, you will head to Roca Vecchia, one of the most important archeological sites in Puglia, known for its Cave of Poetry, a spectacular natural pool set in limestone rock, considered one of the most beautiful in the world.

    Continuing along the coast, you will reach Torre dell'Orso, known for its fine white sand beach, surrounded by a lush pine forest. Here, you can take a relaxing break with a coffee or an artisan gelato, enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of the bay, overlooked by an ancient watchtower.

    The tour continues to the stunning Faraglioni di Sant'Andrea, a true corner of natural paradise. The high cliffs, sculpted by the wind and the waves, offer a spectacular panorama. On this stretch of coastline, nature has created rock arches and sea caves that make the place one of the most fascinating and photographed in Salento.

    Your experience will end with your drop-off back in Melendugno.

    This tour is perfect for those who want to explore Salento completely independently, at their own pace, and immerse themselves in the wonders of one of Italy's most beautiful coastlines. The experience offers a perfect combination of nature, culture and tradition, guaranteeing unforgettable moments.

    The route is suitable for everyone, requires no special skills, and is ideal for couples, families or small groups of friends. What's more, the itinerary can be customized to suit your preferences, giving you a tailor-made experience that will make you fall in love with this extraordinary region.
