Why visit Polignano a Mare?

Polignano a Mare is a town in Puglia, 35 kilometres south-east of Bari, whose whitewashed old town sits directly on top of limestone cliffs above the Adriatic, riddled with sea caves. The most famous view is Lama Monachile, a tiny pebble beach squeezed between two cliffs and crossed by a bridge on the old Via Traiana.

Walk the lanes of the historic centre to the panoramic terraces along the cliff edge, and look for the poems written on walls and steps around town. A statue of Domenico Modugno, the singer of 'Volare', who was born here, stands on the seafront. Boat trips explore the sea caves from below, including the grotto that holds a famous cliff-top restaurant. Polignano has hosted the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series. Eat raw seafood, orecchiette and the local specialty caffè speciale. Trains run easily to Bari, Monopoli and Alberobello's trulli, making Polignano a beautiful base for Puglia.
