Surrounded by the sea, olive groves and ancient villages, Relais Histò is a unique base from which to explore the region.
Within an hour of Apulia’s most beloved sights, you will have access to a network of trusted local experts, ready to guide you towards its most authentic experiences.
Your journey will take you from iconic destinations to lesser-known wonders – like an ancient artist’s home guarding a Templar treasure – revealing the many faces of this remarkable land.
Boat trips, ceramics workshops in Grottaglie, walks through the olive groves: each activity offers a simple, genuine way to discover Mediterranean life.
Here is a selection of our experiences:
Join the Jonian Dolphin Conservation team on a catamaran trip to see the dolphins that have been living in the Gulf of Taranto for over 4,000 years.
With the researchers, you will have the chance to watch them, take pictures and listen to their sounds, always safeguarding this unique ecosystem.
Thanks to the region’s two coastlines, the sea offers different conditions every day.
On calm days, explore caves and underwater sites on guided dives in Egnazia or Porto Cesareo.
When it’s windy, try wing foiling, windsurfing or kitesurfing in open bays – or surf in the sheltered coves once reached by Greek colonists in the 8th century BC.
If you are looking for comfort and calm, choose one of our partner beach clubs.
Tayga Beach in Campomarino combines design, sustainability and quality dining.
Canneto Beach in Leporano extends across 35,000 sqm of sand and sea-view terraces.
Ride through the Apulian countryside, on trails that cross Mediterranean landscapes and lead directly to shorelines.
Guided by expert instructors, each path will invite you to sync with nature and enjoy its silence and scents.
In autumn, join the olive harvest in the groves around the estate.
Among ancient trees and baskets of fresh olives, you will discover a ritual that has shaped Apulia’s rural identity for centuries – ending with a tasting of the day’s harvest.
Hop on a bike and follow quiet, green roads lined with olive trees, vineyards and dry-stone walls.
The itinerary includes natural, historical and gastronomic stops for a complete view of the Taranto area.
Visit Grottaglie, one of Apulia’s most traditional villages, and explore the ancient art of ceramics.
Artisans will teach you traditional techniques like modelling, decorating and firing, carefully passed from one generation to the next.
Stop at the National Archaeological Museum of Taranto, a few kilometres from the estate.
Here you will discover artefacts from Prehistory to the Middle Ages, telling the story of Taranto and of the whole region.
Jewels, mosaics and relics of Magna Graecia will reveal the rich cultural heritage of our land.
Explore the hypogea – where ancient underground tunnels reveal a world suspended in time.
These chambers under the Città Vecchia were once homes, sanctuaries and communal spaces carved into the rock.
Today they unveil the hidden life of late-antique and medieval Taranto.
Enjoy an authentic experience in the heart of Apulian tradition! Choose your passion: immerse yourself in the intense flavours of typical dishes made with fresh vegetables from our garden, km 0, or learn the art of traditional desserts that tell the story of the region. Whether you want to roll out fresh pasta or knead almonds and honey, this hands-on lesson will guide you step by step. At the end, a rich tasting of all the masterpieces created awaits us, in a convivial and unforgettable atmosphere.
