The area of Castellana Grotte is situated on the edge of the Itria Valley, characterized by a landscape of ancient olive groves, vineyards, dry stone walls, and expanses of Mediterranean scrub. This region is rich in charm, where nature intertwines with history and farming traditions, creating an authentic and captivating scene. The limestone plateau it sits on features dry, sun-drenched land, perfect for olive cultivation, which produces a robust and fruity extra virgin olive oil, recognized as one of the local specialties.
The town itself preserves a historic core made up of narrow streets, small squares, and churches that reflect the village's past. However, the most famous attraction is undoubtedly the Castellana Caves, one of Italy's most significant karst formations: over 3 kilometers of underground galleries filled with stalactites, stalagmites, and spectacular caverns, including the impressive "Grave," a deep natural sinkhole.
Castellana also serves as a prime gateway to the white villages of the Itria Valley, such as Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its remarkable concentration of trulli, as well as Locorotondo and Cisternino with their lime-washed houses, and Martina Franca with its baroque buildings. The coast and charming seaside towns, like Polignano a Mare with its cliffs overlooking the Adriatic, and Monopoli with its vibrant historic center and beaches, are also within easy reach.
The diverse landscapes and attractions make this territory suitable for all types of travelers: nature lovers can explore trails and countryside, culture seekers can delve into the history of the villages and farmhouses, while those looking for relaxation can enjoy the sea and the local culinary traditions.
