An thoroughly enjoyable cycling holiday exploring Puglia - Excellent six days' cycling from Lecce with a circular inland and along coast to Gallipoli. GPS navigation very good and lots of opportunities to experience the culture of Puglia as well as take a rest over lunch or enjoy a swim. We are both over seventy ,and though challenging at times , with reasonable level of fitness, we managed the average of 40 miles approx cycling per day . Accommodation throughout was excellent, attentive hosts on hand, plus an excellent briefing before we set out. Salento Bici Tours provided excellent bikes, advice and support throughout our trip.

Gallipoli and countryside bike tour - We arranged our bike trip with an outside travel agent and we were connected to Salento Bici Tour. Carlos was a terrific guide and very knowledgeable about the area. The ride was casual and relaxed (exactly what we were looking for!) we ended the ride at his parents farm for a delicious and fun cooking class. Can't wait to come back and ride for a week with this company.
