Itinerary

Day 1.Bari / Bari, Italy

June 20th of 2025

Check-in and documentation: 12:00 PM
Departure time: 05:00 PM

Located at the far end of Corso Cavour, this maze of endless passages that traverses courtyards and arches was originally designed to protect the inhabitants from the wind and to confuse potential invaders. Here, life is lived outdoors and, on summer nights, the streets are filled with people sitting in front of their door. Bari's old town houses the Basilica of St. Nicholas, consecrated in 1197 to guard the relics of the saint that had been looted from Turkey a century and taken to Bari by the Mediterranean. The true beauty of this church lies in its masonry and episcopal throne, located behind the altar, which dates to the XII century, a beautiful piece work supported by small figurines that seem to suffer while carrying its weight.
You should know about Bari
Highly popular amongst sun-lovers, Liguria is a small coastal province along the northwestern shore has long been known as the Italian Riviera. Venice is undoubtedly Veneto´s main center of attraction. Every corner of this city is special and unique, so its fame is well deserved. With its classic countryside and art-filled cities such as Florence and Pisa, Tuscany, in central Italy, is perhaps the most representative image normally available of the country. Campania marks the beginning of the southern region. Its capital, Naples, is a unique and unforgettable city, while also being southern Italy´s spiritual heart. Puglia (the heel-shaped section of Italy) offers little-known pleasures, such as beautiful landscape at the Gargano Peninsula and Bari´s famous markets.
