Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria and Campania are waiting for us! Four micro-universes, four territories, four cultures to meet in a single journey to the heart of Southern Italy, amidst natural beauty, ancient villages and traditions to be experienced. We will visit the heart of old Bari amidst squares and alleyways where it is still possible to encounter the traditions of yesteryear, particularly that of handmade pasta. We will explore the Castellana Caves, losing ourselves among the geological sculptures made of stalactites and stalagmites and then re-emerge and walk among the picturesque trulli of Alberobello. We will discover Gravina and its landscapes dotted with mystical rock churches, and visit Matera, Civita, Castrovillari and Morano Calabro: unique villages where stone becomes home, landscape, work of art. We will climb to the peaks of the Pollino where the still wild and unspoilt nature, typical of this area, awaits us, and we will arrive in the Cilento region to admire the monumental Certosa di Padula.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Seven days to regenerate between history and nature and four regions to discover, diving into the depths of the earth and re-emerging until we reach the peaks of Apollo: those of Mount Pollino, the mountain located in the National Park of the same name, which for centuries has been rich in medicinal herbs and for this very reason, according to the Greeks, was inhabited by the sun god, protector also of the medical sciences. An itinerary that weaves together characteristic places and that, starting from Bari<\/strong> with its ancient centre, takes us to the centre of the earth in the Caves of Castellana<\/strong>and then lead us to discover the trulli of Alberobello<\/strong> and the rocky landscape of Gravina<\/strong>. We will admire Matera, appreciating its particular geological conformation, and arrive on the Pollino surrounded by unspoilt nature and immersed in an atmosphere of peace. The villages of Castrovillari and Morano Calabro await us, taking us into a timeless dimension, made up of cobbled streets and small stone houses, where we will enjoy genuine, authentic local gastronomy and rediscover the ancient popular customs that still live on in these places. We will end our tour with a visit to the Certosa di Padula, an imposing architectural complex that spans centuries of history and offers visitors a rich and evocative treasure chest of artistic treasures. A tour designed for adventurous travellers, but also attentive and eager to discover the complex and authentic identity of the territories of Southern Italy.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":792,"template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"product_cat":[21,162,20],"product_tag":[151,26,149],"class_list":["post-784","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_cat-calabria","product_cat-grand-tour","product_cat-tour-pacchetti","product_tag-arte-e-storia","product_tag-consigliati","product_tag-sport-e-natura"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
