Polignano a Mare at a Glance
About Polignano a Mare
Polignano a Mare, a picturesque seaside town on Italy's Puglia coast, is an unmissable destination for its enchanting old town perched dramatically on limestone cliffs overlooking the sparkling Adriatic Sea. The town's breathtaking scenery is further enhanced by the stunning 'Cave of the Love' (Grotta dell'Amore), a secluded beach nestled in a natural grotto, and the picturesque Piazza Vittorio Emanuele, lined with charming shops, bars, and restaurants. One thing that travellers love about Polignano is the laid-back, effortless Italian lifestyle that seems to seep into every corner of the town.
The best time to visit Polignano is during the spring and autumn months when the weather is mild and the crowds are smaller. For first-timers, we recommend exploring the old town's narrow streets on foot, as the town's picturesque layout and lack of traffic make it an ideal destination for a leisurely stroll.
