Day 4 - A visit to Alberobello

 


We took the local bus from Bari to the unique village of Alberobello, which took about an hour.


We walked into the local square for coffee and pastry to begin the day.



We then walked up to the impressive Basilica of Saints Cosmas and Damian and then onto the stone church, Trullo Sovrano which is a heritage museum. 





We then made our way down to the main part of the village that is made up entirely of the  trulli stone houses. 






We wandered the narrow cobbled streets with most the old trulli houses now turned into souvenir shops or overpriced restaurants.

We did find a craft beer bar in one of the houses that served locally brewed beers, so we tasted a couple to quench our thirst.



We returned to the square for lunch at the Bar "Tropical", a restaurant with views of the trulli in the distance. 

We finished off the Day with a Gelato near the war memorial.
