Come and visit us in our eighteenth-century Masseria, we will take you to discover the centuries-old olive trees, the stages of production of extra virgin olive oil and the ancient underground oil mill. We will discover together the history of the area, the peasant past of our Puglia and we will immerse ourselves in an expanse of centuries-old plants of unique beauty. We will create a guided tour of extra virgin olive oil tasting and we will learn to recognize the aromas and flavors of a quality extra virgin olive oil. We will thus be able to choose an excellent product, to preserve it carefully and to enhance it in the kitchen. In a nutshell: the entire oil production chain, from cultivation to bottled extra virgin olive oil, in a suggestive and authentic setting, which oscillates between past and present. The proposed visit experience takes place in a very small group, to better welcome guests and interact with them.

The archeological sites at the coast of Porto Cesareo tell us about a local history that was intimately bound to the rest of the Mediterranean. Indeed, the archeological remains that we will see will lead us to consider the relationships with other parts of the basin and to talk about ancient navigation, the “marble route” coming from the Aegean and deities coming from ancient Egypt. In addition, it will appear clear the relevance of physical geography shaping local history. Thus, we will talk about the main features of the Mediterranean Basin, the evolution of coastal topography and geomorphological processes. After describing and talking about the history of modern and contemporary buildings that we will see, we will try to reconstruct the evolution of the coastal landscape and the destruction of the coastal ecosystems. This tour is recommended for archeology, history, geography and culture enthusiasts, naturalists, swimmers, active tourists and adventure seekers.
