The area that separates Lecce from the sea proves the beauty of Salento’s landscape and still preserves the traces of the important role that this area played in the history.
Riding out from Lecce towards the southeast through secondary roads, we will reach the fortified village of Acaya, a Messapic site where you will admire the majestic medieval castle, the walls of the village and its ancient city plan, still preserved.
Then we will move towards the WWF natural park “Le Cesine”, which hides many beautiful plants and water birds. So we will refresh with a nice swim in Torre Specchia and we will cycle back to Lecce crossing a landscape full of olive trees and small villages

Giulia from Salento Bici Tour did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed our trip through the countryside to the sea. She had interesting information to share about the area, kept a pace that was easy to follow and made sure we had adequate stops for breaks and refreshments. I highly recommend this tour.

quando incontri persone speciali per caso!
intitolerei così l'esperienza con Carlo e i suoi collaboratori.
Persone appassionate del loro lavoro, della loro terra e dell'incontro con gli altri.
Abbiamo concordato prima del nostro arrivo in Puglia varie gite ed esperienze (biciclettate, kayak, aperitivi, barca a vela, spiaggia, etc) perchè eravamo un gruppo numeroso con ragazzini vivaci!
Il team di Carlo ci ha soddisfatto pienamente, dando un sapore speciale a questo viaggio, come i fichi assaggiati lungo le pedalate!
Se stare sdraiati al sole non vi basta... lo consiglio assolutamente!
