Traveling in Southern Italy: POLIGNANO A MARE, a beautiful seaside resort
#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.

Polignano a Mare in Southern Italy: Relax and enjoy delicious food at a seaside restaurant
#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.

Address: Lungomare Domenica Modugno 2, Pogligano a Mare

Small seaside town in southern Italy
#我好挂住 Polignano a Mare in southern Italy, the azure coastline is so beautiful.
The azure sea, the clear wind, the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea and the seaside town of Polignano a Mare 🧡 built on a cave form a very unique picture. In summer, this place is crowded with tourists coming to the beach for vacation.
Domenico Modugno, the lead singer of the famous Italian hit song Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu, was born in Polignano a Mare. A bronze statue of him was erected in the square, and tourists passing by couldn't help but hum a few lines of the song~~
🇮🇹The endless blue color echoes the mood of vacation... I hope I can visit again after the epidemic.
Polignano a Mare is located at the heel of southern Italy, in the region of Puglia. It takes about 35 minutes to get there by train from Bari.

The serene atmosphere inside the church
Dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta, the church features many paintings related to Mary that catch the eye. The architecture seems to be a blend of Baroque and Gothic styles, making the observation of the interior quite enjoyable. If you visit Polignano a Mare, I highly recommend taking the time to experience the peaceful and tranquil ambiance of this church.

#AprilTravelSupport This is a souvenir shop I found while exploring the alleys of Polignano a Mare. I recommend this souvenir shop I found while sightseeing because it allows me to recall the Polignano a Mare scenery painted on ceramics at home. #bellaitalia

In a small shop with a lot of affection
#AprilTravelSupport I only went to big marts to shop, but in Italy, I often came across small shops like this. I felt a sense of affection for this place, and since I could buy fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese, and eggs, it was a store I wanted to visit again if I stayed at a nearby accommodation. I recommend this place because you can say hello to the kind owner and feel the warmth that is shared in Italy. #bellaitalia

With a delicious beer
#AprilTravelSupport I ordered a delicious octopus salad as an appetizer for lunch. I ordered an Italian beer and they brought me a delicious beer called Ichnusa, made in Sardinia, the second largest island in Italy. This beer is delicious, so if you find a place that sells it on a hot summer day while traveling in Italy, you should definitely try it!

Looking out over the Adriatic Sea
#AprilTravelSupport Polignano a Mare I think it's a beautiful city overlooking the Adriatic Sea. You can also see the coastal caves if you book a tour, but the tour I booked was suddenly canceled due to the waves, so I couldn't see it, which was the most regrettable. I recommend it because I want to come again next time. #bellaitalia

Three White Towns to Visit in Southern 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.

Visiting Polignano a Mare out of season isa unique and enchanting experience
The small town, known for its stunning cliffs and crystal-clear waters, takes on a serene, almost magical quality when the summer crowds have dispersed. With fewer tourists, you can explore its charming old town at a more leisurely pace, stroll along its narrow streets lined with whitewashed buildings, and enjoy the breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea without the usual hustle and bustle.

Italy's most spectacular cave restaurant
#OverseasTravelRecord
In Polignano a Mare, a city in the Puglia region, on the heel of Italy, there is a restaurant with a spectacular view that looks like something out of a movie. The restaurant is located in a cave overlooking the Adriatic Sea, created naturally by the erosion of waves. The pasta and seafood dishes were delicious. The background music was live violin music, which was romantic! The price is by no means cheap, but it is a place you should visit on special occasions such as honeymoons. 📍 Ristorante Grotta Palazzese Address: Via Narciso, 59, 70044 Polignano a Mare BA, Italy Period: May to November (varies depending on the year) Recommendation: The evening is recommended! You can enjoy the view from the magic hour sky at dusk to the night illumination. Note: Make sure to make a reservation Budget: Course only. From 30,000 yen per person
