Walking & Cycling Holidays in Puglia

Are you looking to book an activity holiday to Puglia? If so, we have an amazing range of trips for you to choose from. Whether you'd like to go on a self-guided cycling tour to discover deserted white sandy beaches or would prefer a walking holiday in the tranquil countryside, we have something for every explorer at Headwater.

Due to its strategic coastal location, Puglia has been invaded, conquered and colonised by practically every major power - from the Greeks and Saracens to the Normans and Spanish. Each successive empire has left its own indelible traces and added something special and unique to the region.

In Puglia, not only are there Greek-style whitewashed villages, gaudy Baroque buildings built by the Spanish and opulent Norman cathedrals, but you may even get the chance to see the odd Roman ruin, framed by olive groves and glittering seas, too. The fact that it's relatively off-the-beaten-track and well off the typical tourist trails makes it all the more alluring for cyclists and walkers who wish to discover the real Italy.

The captivating region of Puglia lies in the remote heel of Italy's boot. Slumbering under the warm southern skies, this is an undiscovered region of extraordinary variety and beauty, from its dramatically rugged Adriatic coastline to the rich, fertile plains of its lush interior.

Our holidays to Puglia will leave you with unforgettable memories. Whether you choose to pedal up the coast and pass hidden coves and golden sandy beaches before sitting down for some lunch in a colourful fishing village, or take it slow with a stroll through vineyards and olive groves, our selection of guided and self-guided holidays will provide you with an experience you'll never forget.
