You roll out of the honey‑colored streets of Ostuni on a small, open tuk tuk and the town’s stone walls slide behind you. The engine hums while centuries of olive trees loom ahead—gnarled trunks thicker than a parked van, leaves whispering like an audience. The route follows stretches of the ancient Via Traiana, a road that once guided Roman feet and now routes you through fields shaped by millennia.
