Ostuni is one of the jewels of Upper Salento, called the “White City” for most of its historic center, once entirely painted with white lime. At the time, painting all the houses white was a strategy, because the sunlight reflected on the houses would blind the enemies. The historic center is rich in churches and noble palaces, surrounded by the Aragonese walls where you can find Porta Nuova and Porta San Demetrio.

Along the coast of Ostuni you will find a surprising play of colors on the beaches, with dunes covered by Mediterranean scrub. Right on the Ostuni coast, Pugliamare has an unparalleled experience in store for you! Organizing a horseback ride among dunes and coastline.

In the hinterland we find the Piana degli Ulivi, named for its large number of centuries-old olive trees, extending to Fasano and Carovigno. A typical Apulian element like the olive cannot be missing among our cultural and food & wine proposals, offering tasting and guided tours of farms that produce extra virgin olive oil (E.V.O.).

Additionally, with Pugliamare we offer a tour of the city in a particularly original way! Visit Ostuni in a Carriage with the Ape Calessino or take the tour of the Valle d’Itria in a Twizy, for an eco-friendly fun experience!
