Visit Acaya Castle in Vernole
A stop among the stones of a castle, right in the middle of your day.

What you do
Riding up to a castle always makes an impression. Acaya Castle is one of those places worth seeing with your own eyes, without hurrying.
The visit is simple: you go in, walk among the walls and spaces of the castle and take your time to look around. You can come on your own too.
You do not need to be a history buff. A little curiosity is enough to stop in a place that tells you more about the area than many words could.
By bike
The castle makes a perfect halfway stop. You arrive by bike, lock it with the lock we provide, visit and then ride on to your next destination.
I prepare a self-guided route with GPX and roadbook, starting from Lecce, San Foca or Calimera, where bike pick-up and return are free. If you want to rest your legs one day, you can visit without the bike as well.
