Here is a list of some recommended itineraries for unforgettable day trips.

- D'ITRIA VALLEY
It welcomes you with those expanses of olive trees that are so beautiful like nowhere else in the world, born from that red earth that perfumes and makes the surrounding landscape a succession of wonderful chromatic effects. It is the Valle d'Itria, also called "Valle dei Trulli", which extends between the provinces of Bari, Brindisi and Taranto and includes some of the most beautiful villages in Puglia, such as Alberobello, Locorotondo, Martina Franca, Cisternino and Ostuni

- SOUTH COAST
The south coast of Bari includes some of the most sought-after seaside resorts in the region for its beautiful beaches and marine waters that have been awarded the title of Blue Flag. Of particular interest are the coastal resorts of Polignano a Mare and Monopoli, but moving slightly away from the coast, it deserves a visit also the beautiful city of Conversano.

- NORTH COAST
Among the areas of great interest in Puglia, the north coast of Bari is essentially characterized by magnificent medieval and Renaissance villages, with small towns in the cities and Romanesque cathedrals so beautiful they take your breath away. But it also reserves numerous archaeological areas of great historical value and characteristic and exclusive naturalistic areas, such as the regional natural park of the Ofanto river which offers an overview of one of the most famous waterways in the South.
Among the most interesting cities that populate the coast, Giovinazzo, Molfetta, Trani are worth a visit.

- THE MURGE
Puglia not only stands out for its marvelous coasts with crystalline waters, but also for the rocky landscapes and ancient villages of the Murge plateau. Le Murge is a vast Apulian sub-region, corresponding to a karst plateau, located in the area included in the provinces of Bari and BAT (Barletta, Andria, Trani) which extends westwards up to Basilicata and descends southwards, in the provinces of Taranto and Toasts.
The Murge plateau offers pleasant landscapes with boundless panoramas and has a predominantly barren territory, with rocks and ravines, which man has been able to adapt to his needs over the centuries. This territory is characterized by the presence of ancient fortified farms where mainly olive trees, almond trees and vines are grown.
Among the most interesting places to visit in the Murge, Castel del Monte, Altamura, Gravina and Matera are worth a visit.
