Perched on a clifftop above the turquoise waters of Puglia’s Adriatic Coast, the whitewashed Centro Storico di Polignano a Mare is a charming old town that draws visitors from nearby Bari and beyond. The town’s narrow, winding streets and cliffside views create a picturesque setting, while its transformation from a fishing village to a popular resort adds layers of history and character. Today, visitors can explore the historic center, enjoy the scenic views, and even take boat excursions to the sea caves below, making it a highlight for both day-trippers and those on longer stays.
