Bari

Summer is coming soon! I really feel it. :) It's warmer and warmer every day. It makes me think about all the places with perfect weather I've ever been.

One of them is Bari in Southern Italy.

This port city is the capital of the region of Apulia. It's situated on the Adriatic coast. What's more, it's well-known as the city of Saint Nicholas (also known as Santa Claus). Most of his relics are kept today in the Basilica of Saint Nicholas.

Bari has a beautiful and charming Old Town. There are a lot of winding streets and sometimes it turns out that it's a dead end street. For this reason it's easy to get lost there. In that place you can see the everyday live of local people. Almost all the doors are open, women make pasta in the doorways and you hear the dialect. 

Bari is a city with a promenade on the sea, which is really worth seeing. It is a great place for a long walk. You can admire some wonderful views and visit the beach.

I mentioned just a few places, but the good information is that the most interesting parts of Bari can be visited on foot. It takes only a day to see the most important places. The city is well-placed for exploring the southern part of Italy. 

The airport (Bari Palese) is located near the town, so it's so easy to get there.
