The Emerald Sea Below the Cliff: The Magic of Polignano

⭐Rating (out of 5): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ✈️Travel Review: Looking down from the cliff-top viewpoint, I couldn't believe such a deep and transparent sea existed. The dramatic limestone cliffs, seemingly carved by nature, are even more breathtaking from above. The emerald sea shines brightest under the midday sun, with small boats scattered between the cliffs. Simply sitting and admiring the sea brought a sense of clarity and peace to my mind. 📍How to Get There: The Nicolaus Hotel Bari → Bari Centrale (15 minutes by taxi) From Bari Centrale, take a Trenitalia train to Polignano a Mare station (about 35 minutes) The station connects directly to the town center, and the viewpoint is a 5-minute walk along Via Porto in the old town. 🌿Attractions: - Arco Marchesale: An archway leading to the cliff viewpoint - Balconata sul Mare: The most famous viewpoint - Grotta Palazzese: A coastal area featuring a cave restaurant within the cliff 🏨Hotel: The Nicolaus Hotel Bari offers spacious rooms and luxurious interiors.
