FIT Self-drive tours

This area is extremely complex yet easy to visit and love. In this crossroads of peoples and travellers in the very heart of the Mediterranean Sea, tourists are always welcomed with warm hospitality.

Going through age-old traditions and amazing landscapes moulded by man, you will reach monumental historical sites, such as the city of Lecce and its Baroque style, and magical places sculpted by nature, such as the Caves of Castellana.

Other must-see destinations are Alberobello and its trulli, the traditional huts with conical roofs, and the Sassi di Matera, both UNESCO sites, which will take you back in time.
