Ostuni
To visit Ostuni, the so-called "Città Bianca" (White City), is an unforgettable experience.
You go up towards the historical centre through a succession of narrow, winding streets made of white houses pressed together, painted windows, arches and steps. We suggest you take your time along the lanes and around the crafts shops: all of a sudden just around a corner you will behold the overwhelming view of the valley and the sea.
The 15th century cathedral has a splendid façade of local stone with an imposing 24 ray rose window.
The town hosts Music festivals and has many typical restaurants and bars where you can savour delicious local dishes or listen to live music. You can find discos along the coast. The cuisine in this area is genuine and full of inventive: flavours from the vegetable garden mix with the aroma of seafood, enhanced by an extraordinary olive oil and accompanied by tasty cheeses, "taralli", "friselle" and generous, rich wines.
