More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The late-afternoon light flattens the whitewashed roofs of Ostuni into soft gold as a small group threads between centuries-old olive trunks. The air smells of dry grass and citrus; a guide keeps the pace steady, pointing out a ridge where the plain meets the Adriatic and the sea shivers in the distance. Visitors pause on a natural terrace while the sun slides down, Aperol spritzes in hand, and the hills themselves hush into long shadows.
