CYCLING THROUGH ANCIENT ROADS, GIANT STONES AND CENTENARY OLIVE TREES<\/h5><\/div><\/div>

A very nice bike tour, without particularly challenging sections, so you don\u2019t need to be an expert cyclist, but it is always better to have good training!<\/p>

In this round trip bike tour, which starts and ends in Minervino, it will be possible to absorb the magic of the territory of Minervino and Giuggianello, with all the nuances linked to the magic of the Giant Stones, monoliths hidden between the olive trees around and which gave birth to many ancient legends. You will visit the most significant dolmens and menhirs of the area, and after that you will cycle on the stretch of the Via Appia Traiana Calabro Salentina, which the Ancient Romans used for bring their goods (olive oil above all) to the port of Otranto and then straight towards the East part of their Empire. After that you will ride towards the hill of San Giovanni, where you can visit the Crypts rock churches dedicated to the Saint. Passing through the small hamlets of Cocumola and Specchia Gallone ypu will be in Minervino again.
In this bike tour always you will ride next to very fascinating old dry-stone walls, under centenary olive trees and immersed in the sweet and harmonious Salento countryside.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
