About this tour
Pedal through Salento's countryside on a Specialized e-bike, linking coastal villages and centuries-old fortified farmhouses across five hours. The route weaves through olive groves down to the Adriatic's edge, where you'll pause for lunch overlooking the water. A virtual guide on your phone keeps you oriented while the motor handles the harder climbs, letting you focus on the landscape shifting from agricultural inland to rocky shoreline.

What to expect
You'll meet at the starting point where staff brief you on the e-bike's motor and handling, then set off following a virtual guide on your smartphone. The ride crosses flat to gently rolling terrain through working olive orchards, giving way to glimpses of rocky coves and the sea. Small villages appear unexpectedly around bends—whitewashed walls, narrow streets, locals unhurried. Midway through, you'll dismount and eat lunch seated outdoors facing the water. The return leg retraces through farmland, e-bike assistance making any headwinds manageable. Total time on saddle is around four hours; the rest is navigating, stopping, eating.
Good to know
Bring your own lunch unless you've arranged food separately (meals aren't included). Wear sunscreen and comfortable clothes; the Salento sun is relentless. The virtual guide requires your phone, so the wireless charger at the start keeps you powered. Suitable for anyone regardless of fitness—the motor compensates. Public transport nearby if you need an exit early.
