About this experience

This e-bike tour shows you three sides of Monopoli: the old town, the coast, and the countryside. Ride among ancient olive trees and quiet rural lanes, then enjoy a relaxed stroll through Monopoli’s historic center, with its narrow streets and authentic corners. You’ll also reach a hidden spot: a rock village nestled inside an erosive gully, where you’ll hear local stories and legends tied to the area. To finish, cycle along the shoreline and discover Monopoli’s coves and small bays.

It’s a guided e-bike experience with full support: a local escort takes care of the route, chooses the best stops, and assists you throughout the ride so you can relax and enjoy the scenery. Join with your own e-bike at no extra cost, or use an e-bike available on site with payment made locally.

Tip: for the rock village visit, it’s recommended to cover your ankles and calves, as there may be tall grass.
