About this tour

You'll navigate independently through this Puglian town, uncovering geological formations, Byzantine frescoes, and centuries-old village layouts whilst the app provides historical context and practical directions.

What to expect
Download the i-Tourist app before arrival and select which thematic modules interest you most. The app directs you between numbered waypoints throughout Ginosa, playing audio commentary as you approach each site. You'll walk through dramatic ravines, peer into cave sanctuaries with restored frescoes, climb into the old town's tightly-packed streets, and observe the surrounding landscape. There's no guide keeping pace with you—you stop, start, and linger as you choose. Technical support is available if the app glitches, but you're responsible for getting to Ginosa and paying any fees for restricted archaeological sites.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required for uneven terrain and inclines. Strollers work on some routes but not all—scout ahead. Public transport reaches town; arrange your own arrival. Check mobile signal coverage before starting. Some sites may charge entry fees separately.
