The engine coughs, you lean into a slow left onto a limestone lane and the valley opens—low dry-stone walls, ringed olive groves and the round, conical roofs of trulli sliding past like punctuation. Wind presses cool air into your jacket while the white façades of Ostuni appear on the skyline, bright against a pale blue Adriatic afternoon.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The engine coughs, you lean into a slow left onto a limestone lane and the valley opens—low dry-stone walls, ringed olive groves and the round, conical roofs of trulli sliding past like punctuation. Wind presses cool air into your jacket while the white façades of Ostuni appear on the skyline, bright against a pale blue Adriatic afternoon.
This four-hour Vespa loop threads three hill towns: Locorotondo with its circular old town and cummerse rooftops; Martina Franca, where Baroque churches and palaces push ornament into the streets; and Ostuni, the ‘‘White City’’ with its Romanesque-Gothic cathedral and narrow lanes. Geologically the valley sits on calcarenite and limestone, sculpting gentle ridges and dry-stone terraces that farmers have cultivated for centuries. The route is as much cultural landscape as road—stone farms, vineyards and family-run masserie that still produce olive oil and wine.
Practicalities are straightforward: tours use 125 cc Vespas approved for two riders, require a valid driver’s license and a minimum age (check provider rules). Roads alternate between quiet provincial asphalt and narrower, rougher farm tracks—expect to slow for farm vehicles and sharp corners. Bring a helmet (usually provided), closed-toe shoes and layered clothing; avoid the midday summer heat by booking morning or late-afternoon departures. Keep hydration handy and a small amount of cash for a countryside snack stop at a family farm. The pace is relaxed, scenery-focused—perfect for riders who want the tactile pleasure of the road with cultural stops woven in.

Valle d'Itria’s cultural landscape was shaped by centuries of olive cultivation and the unique trulli architecture—dry-stone huts with conical roofs dating to medieval peasant construction.
Stick to paved and established farm tracks to protect fragile dry-stone walls and young olive groves; support local businesses to keep traditional land uses viable.
