Apulia has a whole interior rocky soul, just waiting to be explored by bike. Our Mountain Bike Holiday in Puglia is an adventure from the “Sun Mountain” (Gargano National Park) to Matera and the Itria Valley. Ready for your next adventure off-the-beaten-track?
The main airport in the north of Puglia is Foggia (FOG), but this serves almost only national destinations, except the flight from Munich (MUC, Germany) operated by Lumiwings from the end of May to the beginning of September.
The main airport in Puglia is Bari (120 km south of Foggia). Once you land in Bari, to continue towards the north of the Region you can choose the train or – during the tourist season – the bus, which is by far the best option. You will spend about € 30/40 per person in total for the two return trips.
>>> As we were saying, from the beginning of May to mid-October, Puglia Airbus (Puglia East to Reach) is operational: a fast bus that directly connects Gargano and the Bar Airport with four round trips per day (morning, midday, afternoon and night): for example, the bus that leaves from Bari airport stops at Manfredonia-Monte Sant’Angelo (Leclerc) after 1 hour and 40 minutes of travel, at Mattinata in 2 hours, at Vieste in 2 hours and 50 minutes, at Peschici-Vico del Gargano (Calenelle) in 3 and a half hours. Not bad? You won’t waste any more time taking the shuttle from Bari airport to Bari station and, above all, without changing from one means of transport to another.
>>> Bari Centrale train station is connected to Bari Airport by a Ferrotramviaria train (www.ferrovienordbarese.it) or by AMTAB bus (line 16): the latter costs €1 and takes about 45 minutes and passes every half hour. Afterwards, you will have to continue with a regional or Intercity train from Bari to Foggia (www.trenitalia.com). From Foggia you will continue by bus with Ferrovie del Gargano or SITA to Manfredonia, Monte Sant’Angelo or Vieste (www.cotrap.it).
We strongly recommend to book in advance, so that we can guarantee the best possible service. A down payment is required to confirm the booking. The remaining amount (balance payment) must be paid before the start of the rental period.
This is how we reimburse you:
The Renter’s credit card is only required as a guarantee and the rental company may henceforth be authorized to debit the repair costs for any damage occurring to the equipment during the rental period unless it is demonstrated that the damage was due to a defect specific to the equipment.
The Renter will be held responsible for damages to or loss of the equipment or parts of it.
As an alternative to the swipe of the credit card as deposit method, the Rental Company may ask for a money deposit in proportion to the value of the rented items or for the deposit of an original personal document (id card or passport or driving license). You will get the deposited money back at the end of the rental period.
We bring the sun (almost guaranteed), don’t forget to bring these few things with you:
