The tour begins with a view from the sea of the picturesque Old Port of Monopoli, one of the most fascinating places in the city. From aboard the boat you can admire the typical colorful fishing boats, the historic walls that embrace the harbor and the white houses overlooking the water. This port is the beating heart of the Monopolitan maritime tradition and offers a perfect first glance to immerse yourself in the history and authentic atmosphere of the city.

Sailing along the coast, you will reach Porta Vecchia, a historic opening in the city walls that once served as an entrance to the old city. From the boat, you can admire its imposing architecture and the beautiful city beach at its feet, much loved by locals. The view from the sea offers a unique perspective on the fusion of ancient and modern, between history and everyday life, which characterizes the coast of Monopoli.

Sailing along the coast, you arrive at Port’Alga, one of the most characteristic coves of Polignano a Mare. Viewed from the boat, this small bay conquers for its authenticity: once a mooring point for local fishermen's boats, today it retains a rustic and unspoilt charm. Port’Alga is one of the truest and quietest corners of the Polygnane coast.
Continuing along the coast, you arrive at the spectacular Scoglio dell'Eremita, a natural symbol that marks the entry point to Polignano a Mare. This imposing rock, which stands majestically in the middle of the sea, is named after a hermit who once lived in a nearby cave. From aboard the boat, you can admire its majesty and the contrast between the white rocks and the deep blue of the surrounding waters. A corner of pure beauty that welcomes Polignano a Mare, perfect for taking unforgettable photos

The turquoise waters that bathe its base are so transparent that you can admire every detail of the rock below.

We arrive at the extraordinary Palazzese Cave, one of the most famous natural wonders of the area. This fascinating sea cave opens directly onto the crystal clear sea and is famous for its unique beauty, with its rocky walls and access that only by sea is possible. Here, you can enjoy a relaxing stop and enjoy an aperitif on board: a great selection of taralli, focaccia, fresh seasonal fruit, accompanied by Prosecco or soft drinks of your choice. A perfect combination of stunning scenery and local delights, for a truly special experience.

6

We continue towards Lama Monachile, one of the most iconic beaches of Polignano a Mare. Viewed from the sea, this picturesque cove is surrounded by high cliffs that plunge directly into the crystal clear waters. Its main feature is the small pebble beach that lies between the rock walls, with a small bridge that connects the cliffs. It is a perfect place to admire the contrast between wild nature and the beauty of the sea, where the tranquility and majesty of the rocks create a truly suggestive atmosphere.

7

the statue of Domenico Modugno, with open arms behind the sea, dominates the cliffs of Polignano a Mare. Seeing her from the boat gives a unique perspective: it seems that the famous singer embraces the Adriatic, just like in his “Volare”.
