Stop 1

The Historic Center of Polignano: a gem between sea and history.

In the heart of the marvelous Puglia coastline, the historic center of Polignano a Mare stands out as a precious treasure trove of emotions, history, and timeless charm. This charming town, perched on a tuff cliff overlooking the Adriatic Sea, offers its visitors an unforgettable experience, made up of narrow and suggestive alleys, breathtaking panoramic views, and a unique atmosphere.

2

The Blue Grotto of Polignano a Mare is a natural attraction of sublime beauty that evokes a sense of mystery and enchantment. Once you pass through the small opening in the rock, you find yourself in a cave of karstic origin, not particularly large in size but with an imposing appearance. The sunlight penetrates through the narrow opening, creating a play of light and shadow on the rock sculpted by millennial erosion and on the crystal-clear waters of the sea. The iridescence of the water, which takes on shades ranging from turquoise to emerald, and the almost unreal silence offer an experience of inner peace in harmony with the unspoiled landscape. Visiting the grotto is a sensory journey that awakens the most childlike and poetic part of ourselves. For a moment, we find ourselves alone in the realm of enchantment and let ourselves be carried away. It is a temporary yet ever-evolving spectacle that tells of the tenacious power of beauty and mystery. Please note that entry into the Blue Grotto is not permitted.

3

The Palazzese Cave is an almost unreal place, where nature has masterfully shaped a unique location in the world. Once through the threshold of this cavity overlooking the sea, you find yourself catapulted into a dimension suspended between heaven and earth. The cave, with an even older origin than the famous Blue Grotto, has been literally carved by erosion on the side of the limestone cliff. The interior environment is dominated by the living rock, which drops sharply into the waters, and by the sky that overlooks it generously.

4

The Eremita Rock is a place steeped in legend and suggestion, set like a gem in the crystal-clear sea of Polignano a Mare. To reach this solitary rock, you must rely on small boats that sail the waters of the bay. Once you arrive at the base of the rock, the origin of the name becomes clear: its peculiar shape, eroded by wind and waves, resembles the figure of a praying monk, with bowed head and joined hands.

5

The Grotta delle Rondinelle, located in the picturesque Via San Vito in Polignano a Mare, represents a unique work of nature in the world. Immersing oneself in its depths means abandoning the frenzy of the outside world and letting oneself be cradled by the majesty of its walls and the melody of the waves that break inside the cave. The feeling of wonder and amazement experienced inside is difficult to describe in words, but it can be said with certainty that the Grotta delle Rondinelle represents an emotional and sensory experience without equal.

6

Lama Monachile is a picturesque cove nestled among the rocks and bathed by the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. The atmosphere in this corner of paradise is magical and engaging, capable of capturing the senses and making you feel in communion with nature. The sound of the waves crashing on the rocks, the salty scent of the air, and the breathtaking view of the sea create an unforgettable sensory experience. Lama Monachile represents a real gem of the territory, a place where beauty and serenity merge to offer a unique and unforgettable experience.

7

The Bourbon Bridge of Lama Monachile, located in the charming town of Polignano a Mare, represents an architectural work of great historical and cultural value. Built in the 19th century, the bridge connects the two banks of the Lama Monachile, creating a charming and suggestive image. The view of the bridge standing on the sea, with its majestic and imposing architecture, is capable of eliciting deep and intense emotions. The sensation of crossing the bridge, walking on its stone structure, and admiring the breathtaking panorama that opens up on the cove below, is an experience that remains impressed in memory forever. The Bourbon Bridge of Lama Monachile represents a symbol of beauty and history, capable of enchanting and fascinating anyone who visits it.

Afterwards, we make our way back.
