The more south it gets the more beautiful everything is. That’s what everyone in Puglia says. Puglia is quite big and we are already thinking to go back and explore more focusing on way further down the south. But for the time being in 4 day trips in Puglia, we had done quite well. Savelletri is about 1 hour car drive further down south of Bitonto, where huge ancient olive trees still growing with mark of turn of the centuries that trees have survived.
300 years old olive trees. They are grand in terms of size and also character compare to other young trees as 20 to 30 year old ones. They are beautiful as watching a wisely aging great men. They are enormous and they are fantastic.
Arriving to Savelletri, You will come across the many Masserie (traditional pugliese farm house). This is one of solid and rustic entrance to one of Masserie. Usually they are olive tree farms.
After passing through beautiful olive tree fields and Masserie, You will hit this another emerald colored beautiful ocean. Savelletri would have both sand and rocky beaches. It’s quite a contrast to see green emerald colored water from incredibly red land.
The town.
