Coastline and Trulli: A 9-Day Summer Road Trip from Molfetta through Puglia’s Beaches and Hidden Gems.
Based in Molfetta and running through Puglia’s sunlit coast, this nine-day summer road trip threads sandy beaches, crystal-blue seas and off-the-beaten-path seaside gems into a single driveable route. The package pairs a rental car and a digital map with stays in traditional lodgings and a series of guided city tours, letting travelers move at their own pace while tapping into local food, craft and history.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Traditional Puglian accommodations in historical centers
Across eight nights you’ll sleep in a rotating selection of local properties—trulli, masseria, agriturismo and bed & breakfasts—placed in historical city centers to keep you close to town life between drives.
Included car rental with Made‑in‑Italy options
The itinerary includes a rental car from a choice of new Italian models, letting you follow the supplied digital map and explore Puglia’s coast and interior on your own schedule.
A curated mix of meals, workshops and guided city tours
The trip bundles six traditional Pugliese meals, three authentic experiences (food and wine tastings, ceramics or cooking classes) and three guided tours of main historical cities to anchor your self-drive exploration.
What the day feels like
What the nine days feel like
The road trip is structured as a summer coastal loop: pick up your rental in the Bari/Brindisi start area, follow a digital map to a handpicked list of ten must-see beaches across Brindisi, Salento and Taranto, sleep in vernacular accommodations, and punctuate driving days with local experiences and guided city walks. The pace is intentionally free—days are for beach runs and short drives, evenings for regional food and the paper travel diary you’ll use to record memories.
