Tourism in
Cisternino
Italy centres
around the
quaint old
quarter and
the striking
and serene
Valley of
Itria in which
it resides.
Travellers
arrive from
all over Italy
with the
intention of
holidaying in
their own
country homes
or one of the
many and
excellent
hotels and
rentals in
town or
country.
The historical
centre is
divided by the
local tourist
agency into 5
areas, "U
Pandene" (The
Marsh),
"Li
Siggnuredde o
Scheledd" (the
young ladies
or small
steps), "Bere
Vecchje" (the
old suburb), "L'Isule"
(the island)
and "U Burie"
(the suburb).
They are not
entirely
obvious to a
visitor and I
would suggest
not necessary
to study to
enjoy your
stay, but if
you wish to
see a plan,
there is one
by each of the
gateways.
 Drive
out of the
town in any
direction and
you will find
yourself in
the green and
fascinating
country of
rolling tree
covered hills
of olives and
pines, with
fields of hay,
small
vineyards and
sheep grazing
in lush
fields. the
forests and
impossibly
narrow lanes
are a magnet
for walkers
and cyclists
enjoying the
fresh air and
sunshine.
The coast
being a short
drive away has
much visited
towns and
fishing
villages where
you can enjoy
excellent
beaches and
vistas, one of
the favourites
is
Polignano a
Mare
with its
stunning
setting, which
is about 25
miles away up
the coast,
roughly 45
minutes drive.
Ten miles west
of Cisternino
is another
"must see" the
world renowned
town of
Alberobello
with its
streets of
trulli aside a
hill as if
constructed
for a film
set.
The next town
along the
Valle d'Itria,
6 miles
(twenty mins
drive) to the
south-west is
the baroque
town of
Martina Franca,
another piece
of history
waiting to be
visited.
In the
opposite
direction,
just 9 miles
and 20 minutes
away is the
glorious
fortified hill
town of
Ostuni,
gleaming white
on the horizon
from miles
around.
North towards
the coast just
10 miles away,
about half an
hour by car,
is
Fasano
City with
nearby village
of caves and
Roman
excavations.
One of the
most popular
holiday
resorts on
this stretch
of coast is
the town of
Monopoli
which comes
complete with
500 year old
castle.
