The sea

Arriving in Polignano a Mare from the north one flanks the coast and is instantly charmed by the sky blue of the sea, that melts into the white if the calcareous rock, dotted here and there are the fichi d'india (indian figs), in the huge expanse of plants that thickly cover the soil.

Polignano a Mare is unique by its marriage between rock and sea. The element of attraction above all is the crystal clear sea, with sea beds that curiously excite both scholars and those passionate about snorkeling. Spellbinding is the variety of coastal scenery.

Numerous caves contribute to make up the coastline, of which some are only possible to visit by an unfogettable boat trip. The Grotta Palazzese is the most famous for its magical scenery.

Take a breath full of the intense air of the sea: you are in Monopoli, a "unique city". The gentle hills roll down into extended plains covered by secular olive trees, which on contact with the Adriaticfragment the coastline into a series of interspaced serene and wild tracts. Rich inlets, large expanses of sand, and beautiful coves, the coast is perfect for unforgettable moments.
