Activity itinerary

Escursioni - Gite in Barca Polignano a Mare - Escursioni Sofia

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
The tour begins with a suggestive boat experience to discover the spectacular sea caves, such as the Palazzese Cave, the Ardito Cave and the Grotta dei Colombi, accessible only by sea, for a unique immersion in the wild and fascinating nature.

Polignano a Mare

  • 1h 20m
Then continue with a walk on the balconies of the historic centre of Polignano, where every alley and terrace offers breathtaking views of the crystal clear sea and the famous Lama Monachile bridge, a true symbol of the city. This perfect combination of art, history and nature will give every visitor an unforgettable experience.

Monopoli

  • 2h 30m
Visit of Monopoli, an authentic and lively fishing village, with an interweaving of alleys and squares that reveal its history through an architectural heritage of Baroque churches, historic palaces and the suggestive Castle Charles V. The latter, overlooking the sea, represents not only a defensive bulwark of the past, but a symbol of a city that lives with the breath of the sea. No less important are the Cathedral of Maria Santissima della Madia and the lively old port, where the charm of the maritime tradition blends with the everyday life of a village that retains a strong identity among olive groves and picturesque coves.

Ostuni

  • 2h 20m
Ostuni, famous as the “White City.” Here, the visitor is immersed in a world of brilliant architecture that stands out among centuries-old olive groves and Mediterranean landscapes. The old town, completely painted in white, is crossed DA cobbled streets and squares marked by millennial history. Not to be missed are the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta del Cielo, imposing with its rose window and bell tower, symbol of the city; the Scoppa Arch, authentic gateway to the historic city; the Church of San Francesco d’Assisi, with its Gothic structure and stone portal; and the Column of Sant’Oronzo, dedicated to the patron saint, which tells the deep roots of local religiosity.
