Cycling day trip from Alberobello to Ostuni

This beautiful 39 km ride takes you from the fairytale trulli town of Alberobello all the way to the dazzling white city of Ostuni. Starting in Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its unique, cone-roofed limestone houses, you’ll meander through the rolling hills of the Valle d’Itria. The ride mostly follows quiet country roads (so relax and enjoy the peace), and while the route does feature some climbs—totalling around 370 meters ascent—the reward is plenty of gentle downhill stretches as you approach Ostuni.

As you cruise closer to the Adriatic, Ostuni’s whitewashed old town appears gleaming on the hilltop, earning its nickname “La Città Bianca”. Take your time to soak up the olive groves, vineyards, and the sweet scent of wild herbs along the way. With minimal traffic, smooth stretches, and stunning Apulian scenery, this route is perfect for a leisurely day out if you want to see two of Southern Italy’s prettiest towns—all in one ride.
