Polignano a Mare
Cliffs dropping straight into the Adriatic Sea define the old quarter of this small Apulian town south of Bari, where the historic centre sits on a rocky promontory above sea caves and the ancient Via Traiana bridge still spans the Lama Monachile ravine. The local economy runs on tourism, fishing, and horticulture, and the town has a dense café and restaurant scene for its size, with vineyards in the surrounding countryside.
