A village perched on a cliff where the sky meets the sea, Polignano a Mare

⭐Rating (out of 5): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ✈️Travel Review: When I first traveled from Bari, Italy to this place, the view that unfolded before my eyes was even more beautiful than the photos. The white village on the cliff seemed to float above the blue sea, and below, the transparent emerald waters shimmered. I stopped at every photo spot to marvel at the scenery, and the changing sky colors and shadows throughout the day added a different charm. It was a peaceful, movie-like day. 📍How to Get There: - Taxi from The Nicolaus Hotel Bari to Bari Centrale station: about 15 minutes - Take a Trenitalia regional train from Bari Centrale to Polignano a Mare station (about 30–40 minutes) - From the station, it’s a 10-minute walk to the coastal cliffs, with clear signage along the way, making it easy to navigate 🌿Attractions: - Lama Monachile Beach: Stairs leading down to the sea between cliffs - Viewpoint near the Domenico Modugno Statue: A postcard-perfect photo spot, even without a drone - Via Roma Street: The main alley lined with souvenir shops and gelato stores 🏨Hotel: - The Nicolaus Hotel Bari is centrally located in Bari, offering excellent transportation access and an especially great breakfast. - Though it looks like a business hotel, the facilities are clean and quiet, making it perfect for unwinding after a long day. - Its accessibility to Polignano makes it an ideal base for day tours. 🍽️Recommended Food & Restaurants: - Pescaria: Fresh seafood sandwiches enjoyed with a view of the sea - La Balconata: A terrace restaurant where you can dine while overlooking the ocean - Mint Cucina Fresca: Offers healthy-style Italian cuisine 🛍️Shopping Info: - Souvenir shops in Polignano a Mare are popular for handcrafted ceramics, sea-colored glass bracelets, and handwritten postcards. - Small stores along Via Roma Street feature stylish packaging and unique items. - At the Eataly store in Bari’s city center, you can also purchase local ingredients. 👍🏻Recommended Traveler Types: - Instagram enthusiasts who love capturing aesthetic photos - Couples or solo travelers looking to enjoy the sea quietly and leisurely 🥰One-Line Review of the Destination: A sea so beautiful it looks photoshopped, a dreamlike day.
