Right then the roads are right from Genzano on the 169 towards Oppido Lucano. From Oppido head east on the 96bis towards Altamura. From altamura take the 99 south to Matera. In Matera enjoy the fantastic scenery (It's where they filmed Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ") and make sure...

A mix of everything from cobblestone to nice asphalt. Leaving Gallipoli is a mix of low rock and beaches. Climbing and getting twist as you go South, From the bottom back up the East coast is beautiful cliffs and winding roads.
