What to do on the Matera-Gioa-Alberobello routes
Fattoria la Florida
Fattoria la Florida have very good and fresh mozzarella di Bufala. Mozzarella di Bufala is quite rare so do not loose this opportunity.
Masseria quercetta
In the same area there is the Masseria quercetta they have a very good cheese/mozzarella(cow) production and they have a selling point. So it is a must for a stop!!
What to eat
In Puglia you can survive with Focaccia and Mozzarella :-). The focaccia you can find in all bakeries (so call forno, pasticceria, panificio) rather the Mozzarella in the cheese shops (so call caseficio). For example in Gioia go to Panetteria - Pasticceria Vittorio and get the focaccia then walk few hundred meters to Arcano get mozzarella keep walking to up to here seat and enjoy :-).
Some local grocery/supermarket also have cooked food (e.g. lasagna), so with few euro you can get a real lunch. Also some bakeries make pizza and they are cheaper then pizzeria.
For drinking water there many fountains in the towns a bit less in the rural area (just ask to farmers).
Use rural roads!!
Always AVOID the road that connect the the town directly, such as: Giaoi-Noci, Alberobello-Locorotondo, etc. rather always use rural-road. They more beautiful and without cars.
