In addition to the somewhat touristy town of Alberobello, you\u2019ll also find dozens of trulli around the towns of Locorotondo, Ceglie Messapico, Cisternino, Martina Franca, and Castellana Grotte.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#eeeee8\">The trullo originated around the year 1500 and is a typical round, white cottage with a gray pointed roof, built from blocks of limestone.

That means you don\u2019t have to return the electric rental car to the Bari airport until later in the day. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drive from your last accommodation to the Bari airport is about 90 km, which means about a 1-hour drive. From the airport, take the train, shuttle, or a taxi back to Bari Centrale station. At the end of the day, you\u2019ll depart from Bari Centrale, first taking the overnight train to Milan (again in your own private sleeper compartment).    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Milan, the next morning (Day 11), you\u2019ll still have time to say goodbye to this hospitable country with one last Italian coffee.
