Zirlio

Zirlìio is an agency that takes care of organizing guided tours in the most suggestive places of Puglia and Basilicata. Especially when planning a trip that includes several stages, it is important to dedicate the right amount of time to each location, trying to optimize the time well and visit all the historical and cultural attractions that each place has to offer.

Our guides are experts of the territory and of the history of the places you will visit, for this reason they will be able to offer you explanations and unpublished stories that only the locals know, furthermore besides sites of tourist interest they will lead you to discover the hidden secrets of the cities in so that you have a complete view of the places you will explore.

Puglia and Basilicata are regions with a super interesting history and a culture that combines the traditions of the populations that have dominated it over time: for this reason, a necessary requirement to take part in the tours is precisely the thirst for knowledge and curiosity which will allow you to carefully follow the explanations of the guide. Among the places we reach there are certainly Matera: the oldest city in Italy, also known as the city of stones, a small city full of things to see, some hidden among the small alleys of the historic center. Still near Matera, we are also present in Tricarico, a city that has absorbed Arab and Norman culture, which have left an important artistic imprint. Moving towards Potenza, the regional capital, you cannot miss a visit to the fairy-tale village of Pietrapertosa, which represents the highest point in all of Basilicata.
Although the region is one of the smallest in the country, it enjoys two coastal stretches: the Tyrrhenian coast and the Ionian coast; we will also take you to the most important seaside resorts in Basilicata such as Marina di Pisticci, Metaponto and Policoro.

Moving to the heel of Italy, you will be able to get to know Bari and its beautiful historic center, now known throughout the world, Alberobello and its famous Trulli that have now become the symbol of Apulia; Altamura the city of bread, recognized for its medieval history and its marvelous architecture which has been perfectly preserved, and finally the beautiful white city Ostuni, overlooking the sea: its alleys and narrow streets surrounded by white walls that create a beautiful contrast with the blue of the sky and the sea, will leave you speechless.

In addition to guided tours of this type, Zirlìo also organizes excursions to equally incredible naturalistic locations to discover thelakes of Monticchio, the caves of the Murgia of Matera and the ravines of Montalbano Jonico.
