You push off along a quiet country lane and the air smells of crushed grass and green olive. The road runs low along the Regional Park of the Coastal Dunes, where flat, wind-sculpted fields open to rows of monumental olive trees and low dry-stone walls that mark long-tended parcels.

You push off along a quiet country lane and the air smells of crushed grass and green olive. The road runs low along the Regional Park of the Coastal Dunes, where flat, wind-sculpted fields open to rows of monumental olive trees and low dry-stone walls that mark long-tended parcels.
This three-hour e-bike loop threads history into the pedal stroke: 4,000-year-old dolmens sit on limestone outcrops left from Puglia’s ancient karst, while whitewashed masserie and a working oil mill tell the story of olive oil production that shaped local culture and cuisine for centuries. The mill visit demystifies pressing—from harvest to millstone to tasting—offering a direct link between landscape and plate.
Terrain is mostly flat with short gravel tracks and the occasional stony rise; expect minimal elevation gain and gentle power-assist boosts from the e-bike. Typical distance for a guided 3‑hour ride in this area is roughly 15–25 km, paced for mixed fitness levels. Wildlife is subtle—kestrels wheel above, hares dither in field margins—and the park’s coastal dunes add a saline note to the air.
Practical tips: book morning slots in summer for cooler temperatures, bring sunscreen and a refillable bottle (bottled water is usually provided), wear closed-toe shoes for the mill and unpaved stretches, and carry a light wind or rain layer. Respect private property and stay on designated tracks. The experience balances easy pedaling with cultural depth—history under your tires and olive oil at the end of the ride.
