Polignano a Mare

Understand

Polignano a Mare is a town in Apulia, in Southern Italy, located on the Adriatic Sea. Just over 30 km from Bari, it has proven itself to be a destination in its own right.

Known as "the Pearl of the Adriatic", Polignano is the ideal place to plunge into uncontaminated waters and explore a picturesque historic centre by the sea. Whether you're passing through a longer road trip of the region, or visiting on a weekend break, the town has plenty to entertain- especially on a warm summer's day.

It is perhaps the most photographed place in Puglia. It is also one of the most gorgeous destinations in Southern Italy, in general. Ever since stunning Puglia started to become all the more popular with foreign visitors, photos of Polignano a Mare have been flooding the Internet.

This is how the charming seaside town became the most recognisable destination in the region. There are quite a few amazing things to do in Polignano. Gasping at its breathtakingly beautiful Old Town, which is perched atop the most dramatic limestone cliffs, definitely tops the list. Undoubtedly, Polignano a Mare is as pretty as it looks in photos. In fact, it's not. It's even prettier.
