Ostuni Walking Tour
Ostuni, Italy
Why Walk Ostuni
Ostuni's old town is a labyrinth of whitewashed houses, stairways, and arches crowning a hill above a sea of ancient olive trees. The lime-washed walls, a tradition dating to plague-era disinfection, give the town its brilliant white appearance. The 15th-century Gothic cathedral sits at the summit, and the surrounding countryside is dotted with masserie — fortified farmhouses now often converted to accommodations.
