The experience

Four hours on an ebike takes you from Martina Franca through the countryside of Puglia on roads with little traffic. The route follows the Apulian Aqueduct Cycle Route (a 500 km cycling and hiking path that traces two historic waterworks from Caposele to Santa Maria di Leuca), and passes through Valle d'Itria farmland where the landscape opens up between whitewashed villages. You'll stop briefly in Cisternino's historic center, then continue toward Locorotondo along the cycle route itself.

At a farm in the valley, you taste a wide range of typical products (cheeses, cured meats, breads) made at or near the property. The farm shop lets you buy dairy and baked goods to take with you. The pedal-assisted bikes handle both paved roads and unpaved stretches, and you get a repair kit, helmet and a spacious transport bag for the day. An expert guide leads the group and navigates the route. The tour ends with transport back to Martina Franca.
