On the winding drive through steep hillsides, there will be time for a few stops to admire the beautiful landscape shaped by human hands hundreds of years ago and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Olive oil also plays a prominent role in this region, where you can visit the Olive Oil Museum and sample a few varieties.
