Rising gently from the Adriatic coast, Le Murge - a low limestone plateau - dominates the landscape to the south and west of Bari. Around 50km wide and 150km long, it's generally divided into "Low" and "High" Murge: the further away from the coast you are, the higher and more barren it gets. The towns in the region are not natural holiday destinations: the area is sparsely populated, especially further inland, and the small settlements that exist are rural backwaters with a slow pace of life. But they do make an interesting day out from the more popular coastal towns, or a good stopover if you're heading for the region of Basilicata. There are some buses and trains from Bari, but, as always, without your own car travelling very extensively can be difficult.
