The Itria Valley with its beautiful, ancient olive trees, some of which are more than a thousand years old, is also worth seeing, because the old town centers of the whitewashed towns are architecturally and historically interesting. Enjoy the southern Italian flair of the beautiful landscape with the regional houses (here Masseria called) and the walls, built in drywall between the fields, which can be found between the provinces of Bari, Brindisi and Taranto.
