"Perched on the cliffside overlooking the coast, Polignano is a popular town with dramatic coastal scenery, charming historic center, and excellent gelato.
- Stroll through the quaint old town centered around Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II.
- Take in the famous view of Lama Monachile and surrounding cliffs from the overlook. Admiring the beach from afar is the best way to experience it. The beach itself is pebbly and underwhelming.
- This is a great opportunity for a private boat tour to explore the hidden grottos along the coast that can’t be accessed otherwise.

"Jawdroppingly gorgeous. The dramatic location is a showstopper: whitewashed and honey-coloured buildings of the old town appear to rise from the limestone clifftop, slotting into each other like a jigsaw. Down below, the coastline hugs Cala Porto, a compact white pebble beach with azure water flanked by cliffs. Because of its size, it gets very busy during peak-season. "

"The beautiful seaside town of Polignano is unmissable. Even with a bit of a crowd, its beauty is undeniable, plus it was the inspiration for the famous Blu Dipinto di Blu.
It is an ancient town, famous for its gorgeous clear blue water and pebble beaches."
