Polignano a Mare

From Bari (capital city of the Apulia) it takes only 20 minutes by train to get to Polignano which is called ''Pearl of the Adriatic sea'' ( and there’s a reason for that!). In my opinion it's one of the most bewitching places in the world, and one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen.

The town beach is lovely, the water super-clear, people really friendly.

 

There aren't a lot of historical or cultural sites to visit in Polignano. The historic center is rather small. You can see some remains of the Roman domination ( for example the bridge on the Via Traiana) or some churches. The seascape of Polignano is characterised by many, partially submerged and small caves.

 It is a place where you can spend a lot of time just relaxing on the beach and admiring the views.

It's good to know that it's a hometown of Domenico Modugno, italian composer and singer, well known for his four victories at the Festival of San Remo and song ''Volare”. There is his mmemorial in the area outside the historical center.
