Further details
Grotte Di Castellana:
These spectacular limestone caves, half an hour north from Cisternino, are Italy's longest natural subterranean network. The interlinked galleries contain incredible stalactite and stalagmite formations. The highlight however is the Grotta Bianca, an incredible cave of eerie white beauty.
Hill-top Towns:
The area surrounding Trullo Papavero is dotted with ancient hill-top towns, all with their own unique look and feel. Ostuni, known as the White City because of the proliferation of white-washed stone buildings, resembles a North African Arab Medina due to the seemingly disordered tangle of narrow cobblestone streets, many little more than arched stairways between the houses. Rising above it all in sombre brown stone is the beautiful 15th-century Gothic Cathedral.
Martina Franca has one of the finest old quarters in Puglia. Baroque balconies decorated with ornate wrought iron look down on narrow alleyways little changed in centuries. In the second half of July and early August, the town stages the annual Festival della Vale d'Itria - a feast for opera lovers.
