#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

#ThailandAirTicketEvent After you've finished sightseeing in Old Town, be sure to stop by the 📍Pietra Piatta (Pendma Chiatt) observatory. If you sit on the rock and gaze blankly at the emerald sea, you'll lose track of time. Locals and travelers alike were bringing snacks and drinks and sitting there like a picnic. I recommend this quiet healing spot where you can look at the sea and the sky and feel the cool breeze. #italytravel #EuropeanTravel #OverseasTravel

#PollignanoAmare Summer in Southern Italy...🫶 A place with a beautiful sea and a pink sunset PollignanoAmare 💙PollignanoAmare is a coastal town near Bari in southern Italy. It is famous for the Monachile Beach, a sea between cliffs ♥️ Monachile Beach It is a beach formed between cliffs, and the view of the sea from the bridge is so beautiful! There are large and small pebbles and rocks, so it would be good to bring aqua shoes! Bare feet can hurt! It is also a place where the World Diving Competition is held. Maybe that's why there are so many divers at Monachile Beach. It was fun to bring a beach towel, find a spot, swim, and watch people's diving skills while lying down on a beach towel.😃 💛 Sunset in PolignanoAmare PollignanoAmare is not only hot during the day. In the evening, the pink sunset turns the entire town into a romantic atmosphere. Don't miss the evening at Polignano a Mare 😉 💕 How great would it be to be able to spend your vacation in Polignano a Mare this summer? It's a place I want to go again.

#AprilTravelSupport The Catholic cathedral in the center of Polignano Village Old Town is recommended because you can enter for free and look around peacefully and leisurely.

I recommend you look for it when you visit the cathedral. 📍Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, 21, 70044 Polignano a Mare BA, Italy#beautiful_italy

#AprilTravelSupport This was a place where I was curious about the process of how a cave that can be passed through was created. If the weather gets warmer, many people will be able to go diving through this cave and move to the other side. So I recommend that you bring aqua shoes or slippers. #beautiful_italy

#AprilTravelSupport I couldn't just pass by this wonderful museum of contemporary art that I stumbled upon while walking along the beautiful beach. The special exhibition, Chiara says Chiara, was on. It was special to see works dedicated to Chiara Fumai, an important female artist from the Apulia region of Italy. 📍PINO PASCALI MUSEUM FOUNDATION #beautiful_italy

#AprilTravelSupport I was sad that I couldn't enjoy swimming at the famous beach of Polignano a Mare, which I visited during the off-season, but I stayed a little longer, looking forward to the next time. It was nice to spend time splashing around in the ocean. However, during the peak season, there are a lot of people, so I think I'll go to another beach. #beautiful_italy

#AprilTravelSupport I thought I could see the sea from the balcony, but it wasn't open because it was the off-season.

#AprilTravelSupport I was filled with awe as I looked at the ceiling paintings in the Polignano a Mare Cathedral. Just like when I saw the Duomo in Florence, I was grateful that the passion and delicate artistry of the Italian artists at the time were preserved so well that I could see them. Come see them in Polignano a Mare Old Town! #beautiful_italy

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.

#AprilTravelSupportI couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as soon as I entered the entrance of the cathedral. I recommend it because it is a wonderful place, from the door I passed through to the decorations and the orgel and the holy painting on the ceiling. 📍Church of Saint Mary of the Assumption
