#Invincible Sea View #Overseas Travel Enjoying the sea breeze, the endless blue color echoes the mood of vacation. In Polignano a Mare, a small seaside town in southern Italy, the clear turquoise water and the small houses built on the rocky caves create a very unique picture. 🔶Where is POLIGLIANO A MARE? 🔶 It is located at the heel of the boot in southeastern Italy, facing the endless Adriatic Sea. Polignano a Mare is a seaside town in the province of Bari, in the region of Puglia. The blue sea and the clear wind. In summer, Polignano a Mare is crowded with tourists coming for beach vacations. Even with so many tourists, there is still a sense of space here. The houses along the coast are built on grottoes, which are the characteristic of this small town. 🔶Charming seawater tones🔶 Scogliera del Lungomare Modugno is the most classic photo location in Polignano a Mare. The turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea and the small houses built on the rocks form such a beautiful picture. There are not many tourists in the morning, but it is a bit backlit. When we went there again in the afternoon, the scenery was completely different. The sea water was turquoise and clear, as if it was shining with dazzling light. 🔶Hometown of the famous singer DOMENICO MODUGNO🔶 Domenico Modugno, the lead singer of the famous Italian song Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu, was born here. A bronze statue of him (Monumento a Domenica Modugno) was erected in the square. Tourists passing by can't help but hum a few lines of the song~Volare, oh oh, Cantare, oh oh oh oh. Nel blu dipinto di blu, Felice di stare lassù….. If you like sunshine and beaches, the beach in Polignano a Mare is a good place to enjoy the summer. Although the beach is not very big, the water is clear and you can see the bottom. There is also a cave called Grotta Piana on the left side of the beach. The surrounding scenery is very unique. The ancient city center here is also very unique. The white and pastel-colored small houses, as well as the unique shops in the alleys, have a very small town feel. 🔶Itinerary suggestions🔶 You can go there from Bari and visit it as a day trip. The town is not big and you can walk around. If you don’t plan to sunbathe or relax on the beach in Polignano a Mare, you can arrange to visit the nearby fishing village Monopoli on the same day. The journey by train (Trenitalia) takes only 5 minutes. #Star Writers Go Go Go #Italy

#Unbeatable Seaview #Overseas Travel At noon, I chose a restaurant by the sea to enjoy the sea breeze and escape the overly hot sun. The restaurant, Trattoria il Grottone, has sweeping views of the sea and the rows of small white houses of Polignano a Mare. It is 100% super beautiful scenery. Of course you have to try seafood at the seaside in southern Italy. I ordered a dish of fresh sashimi Antipasto crudo di Frutti di mare and mussels. The sweet sashimi was full of the fresh taste of the sea, accompanied by the never-boring view of the Adriatic Sea. The environment was really intoxicating and the price was very affordable. ▎TRATTORIA IL GROTTONE Address: Lungomare Domenica Modugno 2, Pogligano a Mare #Star Writers Go Go Go #Travel in Italy

#Overseas Travel Strategy The Puglia region in southern Italy is a hot topic among overseas travel influencers. In this region, the houses in the city are painted white to reflect the strong sunlight and lower the indoor temperature. Therefore, beautiful white towns are scattered throughout the area. Here are three towns that you should definitely visit! 📍Locorotondo Locorotondo is said to be the most beautiful city in Italy. It is close to Alberobello, a World Heritage Site, so it is recommended to visit both cities as a set. I visited in the summer, and the balconies were decorated with flowers, and the white walls lit by the midsummer sun were beautiful. It is a small town, so you can tour the entire town in 30 minutes! Address: Locorotondo Bari, Puglia, Italy. 📝 I recommend chartering a taxi and touring Locorotondo, Polignano Mare, and Alberobello all at once! You can easily visit them all in one day. 📍AlberobelloVia Monte San Gabriele, 31 Alberobello BA ItalyAlberobello, a World Heritage Site, is a cute town with triangular roofs in the Puglia region of Italy. There are many souvenir shops in the town, and a shop run by a Japanese woman named Yoko showed me the rooftop and inside the house. I recommend looking over the whole town from a high place, as the view is great. 📍Polignano a Mare🏠Address: Polignano a Mare, Italy 70044 Bari Emerald green beaches are a popular resort area, and the white houses standing on the steep cliffs are beautiful, making it a scenic spot. The beach is not sand, but stone, so it may be a little dangerous if you are barefoot! There are many souvenir shops and restaurants in the town, so walking around the town is also fun.

Polignano a Mare is famous for its white pebble Beach, it’s a beautiful town perched on limestone cliff tops it’s well worth a visit if you’re in the Pulia region of Italy this year. Its maze like old town and panoramic terraces make it a delight to explore. There are regular train services from Bari the journey time takes 40 to 50 minutes. #getgoing2025 #polignanoamare #puglia #apulia

The sunny region in southern Italy offers so much: lots of history, unspoiled nature, beautiful coastline and intense flavors 🍦So it‘s time for you to visit 😁 Here are our tips: 🗺️ Places to visit / Things to do 1. & 2. Polignano a Mare 🌊 This beach town is perfect to go for a swim! 3. Restaurant Grotta Palazzese 🍝 The location is incredibly beautiful but the reviews online are a nightmare (expensive and bad food quality) so better just swing by for a picture 📸 4. Cave of Poetry 🏖️ Unfortunately it‘s forbidden to swim there nowadays but it looks really nice! 5. & 6. Alberobello 🌸 Make sure to stay in a trulli house for the night and go for a walk early in the morning! Every corner looks so beautiful 😍 7. Torre de Sant Andrea 🏖️ Bring your bikini but be prepared for strong waves 🌊 8 .& 9. Monopoli 🌅 In our opinion this is the cutest place in Puglia. If you want to stay in one town during your trip, I would highly recommend this one. It‘s charming, has lots of restaurants and a beach 🏖️ 10. Matera 💃 Not a part of Puglia but very close by so it would be a shame to skip it! It‘s one of the oldest cities in the world Other places nearby: -Locorotondo -Ostruni 🏨 Where to stay We made a road trip coming from the Amafi Coast and stayed in a cave hotel in Matera, followed by a trulli house in Alberobello and a farm house near the Cave of Poetry. If you only want to stay at one place during your trip, I would choose Monopoli 🤗 🚗 How to get there You need a car to get to all of these places! There’s lots of parking though and roads are okay compared to other places in Italy 🙈 ⏰ Best time to visit We were there in July and it was definitely too hot! I would not do it again to be honest 😅 We only went out early in the morning and late in the evening and had to cool ourselves down all the time. Better go in Mai / June or September / October 🤗 🐶 Is Puglia dog friendly? YES! Like everywhere in Italy most people adore dogs and you can bring them to most places 🤗 Let us know if you have more questions ✨ cr:wanderlust_samoyed Contact us for removal
