Apulian Stories - Monopoli, Polignano and other villages on the coast

Near Egnazia on the coast are several attractive little fishing villages worth a visit.

Polignano al Mare is famous for its cliff in the middle of the town, where daredevil swimmers find natural jumping boards from all heights, that invite to dive into the pristine turquoise waters off the beach. 












- not in Venice - 


There are several nice fish restaurants. You can relax and have an excellent meal on the terrace  clinging to the rock with a nice view of the swimmers down in the bay until late in the evening. 




Trani is a sleepy fishing village with an oversized cathedral on the water...




and red and green lighthouses marking the entrance to the harbour.
