Discover Ostuni by bike and explore the dazzling 'White City' of Puglia and the olive-covered plain that rolls down to the Adriatic. Perched on a hill above a sea of ancient olive trees, its whitewashed old town crowning the skyline, Ostuni is a beautiful and rewarding place to cycle — from gentle coastal paths to the timeless countryside. Renting a bike in Ostuni is the perfect way to combine the sea, the olive groves and one of Italy's most photogenic towns.

The best rides when you rent a bike in Ostuni

Down on the coast, flat roads and cycle paths link the beaches and dunes of Marina di Ostuni, Rosa Marina and Pilone, and lead to the beautiful Torre Guaceto nature reserve, a protected stretch of unspoilt shore and Mediterranean scrub. Inland, quiet lanes wind through the plain of monumental olive trees, some over a thousand years old, dotted with old farmhouses (masserie). Reaching the hilltop old town itself means a climb — an electric bike turns it into a pleasure.

Which bike should you rent in Ostuni?

• City bikes — perfect for the flat coast and the olive-grove lanes.
• Electric bikes — ideal for the climb to the old town and longer rides.
• Mountain bikes — for the tracks in the countryside and Torre Guaceto.
• Road bikes — for touring the coast and plain.
