Again, you will find our personal recommendations in your info pack. The coast is about 10 minutes from Ostuni centre.

Travel
The nearest airport, and our personal favourite (about 30 mins drive) is Brindisi. The next best thing is Bari airport which is about an hour away. BA fly to Bari, but we recommend Ryanair as they are a lot cheaper! They also fly to both Brindisi and Bari so you can mix and match your flights to suit your timings. A car is essential.
Distances
10 minutes to Ostuni.
15 minutes to the nearest beach.
30 minutes to Alberobello.
10 minutes to Cisternino.
25 minutes to ZooSafari Park.
Further details
The best time for sightseeing is around 5pm when the temperature begins to drop and locals dress up to take their passegiata. Centro Storico, Ostuni – just walk and walk. Every corner you turn holds another breathtaking view. Stunning. Our favourite church is next to the town hall in the Piazza. The following towns are all a short drive from Ostuni, and well worth a visit.
Martina Franca - the road to martina is a lovely drive – full of Trulli and Masserie. Martina itself is a baroque jewel -extremely elegant and well worth a visit.
Cisterno/Ceglie - smaller, pretty towns with lots of character. It is worth visiting these towns for the drive alone which offers lovely scenery.
Alberobello - remarkable sight and a must see while you are here. Home of the trulli. Good to combine a trip with a trip to the amazing Castellano caves nearby.
Lecce is about 45 – 60 minutes drive. It is known as the Florence of the South, but I prefer Lecce any day! Wonderful Baroque architecture. Elegant university city. Masses to see and lots of shops!
Gargano Peninsula - this is a trek, north of Bari. You will need to set off early, but once you are there you will see some of the most stunning coastline and countryside you have ever see in your life. Regarded by many as the loveliest place in Italy. Egnazia - Ancient Roman port of Greek origin. Extensive ruins and fascinating museum. Also look out for the many Dolmens - Bronze age stones dotted about the region.
Every Saturday morning there is an excellent market in Ostuni which sells everything from food to furniture. Fabulous ceramics and cheap for everything. Also, 2nd Sunday of each month, antiques market around old walls of centro storico. There are great markets in local towns nearly every other day of the week if you miss the Ostuni Saturday market.
