WELCOME
Here at Apulia Handmade, we are first of all travellers! We have been all around the world and what we have learned the most authentic and genuine places; that’s why we love Southern Italy! The authentic Italy far from mass tourism!
What we offer is simple but effective:
- Local friends with all their best tips to help you experiencing, tasting and enjoying their places.
- Licensed guides that can explain you historical and artistic sites, but also traditions and local culture
- Trip designers that take in high consideration the word “tailored” and want to provide you an experience designed around your needs, your style, your taste and your expectations.
- Outdoor lovers that can lead you to great hiking or cycling adventures totally off the beaten track.
Visiting a country is definitely not just ticking off a series of sightseeings; especially in Italy where there is a lot in terms of culture, traditions, food, architecture and history…
with a tour guide will always discover more!
Take advantage of a day trip is you want to see more than one place in one day, plan to eat in a little family restaurant in a small village or include one of our “experiences”; all of that without the stress of driving and searching a parking spot.
Pedalling around, feeling the wind in your hair, having enough speed to explore the World but keeping the right pace to enjoy it, being free to be on your own or in great company, having a health life-style or simply being sporty.
If you want to see more, understand what is behind the most iconic productions of Puglia and Basilicata or simply are interested in getting in touch with the local farmers and craftsmen, we can show you how and where…

Map For Cyclists
A special gift for all are cycling adventurers!
By clicking this BikeMap (powered by Google) you will see in different colours a series of locations divided in three big categories:
- In yellow we have water fountains and bike cafes (we can’t guarantee they will be all working once you’ll be there, but at the minute they are all working, let us know if you find some others)
- In red we have all places to stay from camping to luxury hotels; They have in common the idea of being bike-friendly (it means they have a place where you can park your bike safely, but also, in certain cases, bike to rent, some tools, a bike-wash, some spares, a generous breakfast or some other treats)
- In blue we have bike shops, bike stores and bike mechanics; consider that in case of bad issues even a store might help you.
We hope this tool will help you creating your own itinerary exploring Southern Italy.
It is a working progress so we are more than happy to get your inputs and suggestions to make it as complete as possible.
