We enjoyed getting away from the chaos in the busy central piazza and walking up the hill into an area full of alleys, narrow streets, and stairs, which run between the whitewashed buildings. And be aware, there are a lot of steps, and you can easily get turned around. Try it and you will be rewarded with cafes and bars with live music, interesting shops, and views of the Adriatic Sea. The higher you go, the better the views get. It all feels like a village in a tiny Greek island.

What can I say ! I am amused! After a long long ling year of hard work i founded pea w un this small beautiful peaceful small city ! I knew interesting people and tasted tasty wines !

Ostuni is a spectacular town to visit in Puglia, We parked just outside the town near via Antonio Specchia with ample free parking and a paid lot nearby, and walked to the city. We began near Piazza della liberta, and the little streets radiating from there, including the unmissable viewpoint near Pza Martiri del Foibe. We then circled the old walls, and ascended to the old centre a cobweb of little lanes which are a sheer joy to wander around.

We took a one-day trip to this romantic place from Bari by train. It took about 1 hour and we took a local bus to the centre. The Old Town has some nice old historic buildings and the Duomo. It’s interesting that all the houses are white. The coast is beautiful, we took lots of photos. We liked wandering in the narrow streets. It’s very nice, panoramic historical centre. A must-see site in Puglia!

We decided that this was our favourite city on our tour of Puglia! We arrived by train from Lecce which cost €3 each! (The trains down this coast are easy and very cheap! We spent a week travelling from Lecce, Ostuni, Fasano, Alberello, Monopoli and Brindisi for a grand total of €48 for trains/buses between these places!) Arriving at Ostuni train station, there is a bus which takes you up the hill to a car park for €1 each! Tickets from the cafe at the train station. (Do not let the taxi offer you a ride straight to your accommodation and avoid the bus taking you all over the city for €20!!) The bus takes 3 minutes! then you are a 5 minute walk from the centre where all the action is! We stayed in a 'cave' which was amazing and just 2 minutes from the main piazza. We arrived on Labour Day, so there was living music everywhere and it was quite busy. Great atmosphere! We wandered all around the little streets and thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely, put this one of your list for a tour of Puglia.

The whitewashed buildings in this city give it a unique character that is an exceptional photo at sunset where the sun’s rays play off the white walls of "Old Town." Initially patterned after a North African Souk, the maze of alleyways and dead ends serve as a defensive framework for protection of this Puglia town. An archaeological museum, located in a former Carmelite Monastery in this town, houses a skeleton of a woman from Paleolithic times. Ostuni’s Gothic cathedral was built in the 15th century and contains a beautifully designed rose window. This town with its warren of streets and pretty petit gardens is well worth a visit.
