Polignano a Mare

Polignano a Mare, picturesquely situated on limestone cliffs overlooking the Adriatic Sea, is a jewel of Apulia. The town is renowned for its dramatic coastal scenery and charming old town with its winding alleys and whitewashed houses. A standout feature is Lama Monachile, an iconic rocky cove with a pebble beach that stretches spectacularly between the cliffs. Stroll through the historic center, discover hidden squares, and enjoy panoramic views from the terraces. Along the Lungomare, you'll find the statue of the town's famous son, Domenico Modugno, the composer of "Volare". To experience the authentic atmosphere without large crowds, a visit in spring or autumn is ideal. Sample the local fish cuisine at one of the restaurants with sea views.
