THE TRIP, IN A FEW WORDS
A little time in Ostuni.
A lane worth following.
Begin around Piazza della Libertà and follow the old-town streets uphill toward the cathedral and Arco Scoppa. Leave time to wander a few lanes before returning for a meal.
This is a half-day visit without an Ostuni overnight. Add travel and parking time around the walk; if lunch or a longer church visit is the priority, reduce the other towns planned for the same day.

A NOTE FROM ALISHA & MATT
A few decisions
before you go.
Choose the main visit first, then fit the smaller stops around it.
Alisha & MattRespect the residential lanes.
Doorways and stairways are part of people’s homes, not unrestricted photo sets.
Leave room for lunch.
A half-day town visit is more useful than several hurried arrivals.
BEFORE YOU GO

Does this depend on seasonal displays?
