One of the biggest advantages of cycling holidays in Puglia is that a car is not always necessary. After arriving in Bari, travelers can take a direct train to Gioia del Colle, located in the heart of central Puglia and easily reachable in less than an hour.

Unlike many cycling destinations that require additional transfers, Gioia del Colle offers direct access to the countryside. Visitors can collect their e-bike near the railway station and begin riding almost immediately.

For independent travelers, this simple train-to-bike connection creates one of the easiest ways to explore authentic rural Puglia.
