Discovering Alberobello
Shore excursion from port of Bari or Taranto, Italy
- Duration 5h
- Activity level medium
What you'll do
Tour available from Bari port or from Taranto port (from Taranto the tour lasts 5 hours).
Our Shore2Shore Excursions guide will meet you at the Port of Bari where we board an air-conditioned coach to take a guided tour to Alberobello.
Passengers will depart the pier with the local guide by coach.
Firstly they will cross the town to proceed along the national road in the middle of the Apulian countryside scattered with "trulli".
Ancient site, typical for its houses built in stones, used as animal stables and today transformed into family cottages where inhabitants run their trades activities.
Our visit will give the opportunity to experience the reality of the village, knowing better the people and their life style. These constructions named “trulli” date back of VI and VII centuries. The typical cone shape roof has made them so peculiar that Unesco consider the old part of the village as monumental patrimony.
A visit will be also spent to the Church of Saint Antonio built beginning of 1900, last witness of a mixing of Romanesque Apulian style and the architecture of the Trulli.
In Alberobello, passengers will walk in the alleys and the tiny village before boarding the coach and driving back to the port and the ship.
