Tour Itinerary
Day 1 Saturday: SORRENTO - CASTEL DEL MONTE - CASTELLANA CAVES - SELVA
DI FASANO
Early morning departure for Apulia, on the way, stop to visit Castel del
Monte, imposing octagonal castle, with eight
octagonal towers at each side built in 1250 by the emperor Federico II, on a
hill of 570 metres that dominates all the valley.
Free time for lunch. The journey continues to Castellana Caves. Discovered
in 1938, the entrance is represented by an
enormous vertical tunnel 60 metres long. At the end of the visit, arrival at
the hotel. Accommodation, dinner and overnight.
Day 2 Sunday: SELVA DI FASANO - LECCE - OSTUNI - ALBEROBELLO - SELVA DI
FASANO
Breakfast and departure to Lecce and its “famous baroque” form of art and
architecture developed between the end of the
XVI century and the first half of the XVII century. Very rich and beautiful
are the decorations of the church of S.Oronzo, the Basilica of Santa Croce,
the Celestini Palace. In the square of S.Oronzo we can admire the roman
amphitheatre from the II century ac and the column of S.Oronzo, 29m high
with a copper statue of the saint on the top. Departure to Ostuni, an
architectural jewel commonly referred to as "the White Town" for its white
walls and its typically white-painted architecture. Free time for lunch. In
the afternoon, continue to Alberobello, the town of “trulli” and Unesco
Heritage. “Trulli” are typical houses with a cone roof that were used as
homes and to keep the farmer utensils. Return to the hotel. Dinner and
overnight.
..
Day 3 Monday: SELVA DI FASANO - MATERA - SORRENTO OR ROME
Buffet breakfast. Departure for Matera that has gained international fame
for its “Sassi”. The Sassi originated from a prehistoric (troglodyte)
settlement, and are suspected to be some of the first settlements in Italy.
The Sassi are houses dug
into the tuff rock itself, which is characteristic of Basilicata and Apulia.
Many of these “houses” are really only caverns, and the streets in some
parts of the Sassi often are located on the rooftops of other houses. One of
the peculiarity of this ancient
city, is that there is a great similarity with the ancient sites in and
around Jerusalem. This has caught the eye of film directors and movie
studios. Principally due this reason the Sassi were the set of many film, as
for example “The Gospel According to St Matthew” (Pasolini,1964), “King
David” (Bruce Beresford,1985), “The Passion of the Christ" (Gibson, 2004)
and "The Nativity Story" (Hardwicke, 2006). Matera is also a Unesco
heritage. Time for a snack and return to Sorrento or Rome. End of the tour
and of our service.
