Wander Ostuni’s old town
Ostuni, Italy

Ostuni’s old town climbs through whitewashed lanes towards its cathedral, with olive groves spreading across the surrounding landscape. Follow the smaller passages and stairways as well as the main route, stopping to look back through openings towards the countryside. The cathedral’s late-medieval façade provides a useful destination for the walk. Wear shoes suited to uneven paving, and plan a gentle pace: the appeal lies in the streets and changing views rather than a long checklist.
