You are not allowed to take pictures beyond a certain point. For me, the most amazing caves I ever saw. The experience is totally worth it. The entire area around is also very nice. It's not too slippery, not too cold. The guides are nice, tours are available in many languages. Booking in advance is recommended

It was like Cheddar Gorge in England, on steroids. Definitely worth a visit. You can only take photos in the first cave which was the least amazing, because of a risk of flash damaging natural fungi etc. This was the least amazing cave. I went on an arranged tour.

Nice cave but for us the experience was totally ruined by the 'can't be bothered' miserable attitude of the staff. One in the front and one in the back making sure that nobody took a surreptitious photograph, apparently, we were told because of the copyright of the company. I don't think you can copyright caves. More to do with the guards wanting to get through as quickly as possible. We were put in a massive group of around 100. All different nationalities, with an 'English Speaking' guide, although I'm English and I was picking up maybe 3 words of each sentence it was that bad. I could hardly see above people's heads we were so tightly packed and moving so quickly. No time to stop and admire the cave .. just rushed through like cattle. Twice we passed small Italian groups, all ambling along taking flash photos and video, yet we were rushed through so fast on the uneven floors, most of it badly lit. I'm surprised nobody fell and had an accident. We've been in lots of caves. Usually you go through alone, with headsets explaining the system. Some have music and light shows, making it very dramatic. This one is just boring. Not worth €18 per person. Total rip off.

Great experience! The 50 min tour suitable for small kids (4 & 6 y.o. enjoyed it). A bit to brief for adults/teenagers. During a 1km walk you're going to see a few amazing stone formations, hear a bit of history about the caves, and have a chance to imagine how this place looked like before it was turned into a tourist attraction. No need for any special shoes or outfits - a jacket and a pair of sneakers would do.

Fantastic caves, but the experience is totally spoiled by the way it's run. It started badly when we were charged to park out car in a large car park in the village centre not far from the caves. But since the caves are the only attraction in town, the cost of parking ought to be included in the ticket price for visiting the cave. After buying our tickets, we were shown to the "planetarium" which is a miniature imax-style surround cinema where they played an animated film about possible alien life on other planets. But nobody could see it. The projector was so feeble that it took a couple of minutes of dark adaptation to seven see the image. And then people kept opening the door, causing bright sunshine to flood in and ruin the dark adaptation. They also give you pretty terrible 3D glasses that make the picture even dimmer. I guess this planetarium show is there to stop kids getting bored between tours of the caves, and it's a nice idea in principle. But the fact that they didn't invest in a decent projector system and didn't fit a light-proof entry system means it actually irritating for a lot of people. I heard lots of murmurings of "well that's 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back" upon leaving. But my biggest gripe of all is the actual cave tour itself. Not only do they try to stop you from taking photos beyond the first cave, but there's no mention of this at all before you buy your tickets. I LOVE visiting caves and have visited hundreds of them over the years. This is the first time I've been prevented from taking photos. I asked one of the two ladies what the reasoning was, and she said "Because it's our copyright". Which is total nonsense. Nobody has copyright over things that they did not create. And caves are created by the action of water over millions of years, they aren't man-made! I ignored their protestations and continued to take plenty of photos. In the end they stopped trying to stop me. I later looked up what possible genuine reasons they might have, and it's to protect the rocks from the effects of flash. Well why isn't that a problem in any other cave anywhere else? In any case I was taking photos and videos using a phone and a GoPro. There was no flash involved. If they really have a problem with people bringing proper cameras with powerful flash, then they should just tell people that photos are okay as long as there is no flash. Another problem is with the way the tour is guided. The tour guide at the front made an effort for people to gather around her before speaking, but her very soft voice was impossible to hear, especially since some of the visitors had brought babies who were crying the whole way. Inside the caves all you could hear is the crying of babies. Many cave site tour operators get round this by using radio mics with speakers hidden behind rocks in the caves. That way the guide doesn't have to shout, and everyone can hear easily. But no, there was nothing like that here. In summary, my biggest gripe is about their ridiculous ban on photography. For some of us, taking photos of the spectacular rock formations is a big reason for visiting in the first place. Admittedly they do say "no photography" in the guide they give you, but you don't see that until after you've bought your ticket. Pretty nasty way to operate. There's no good reason for them to ban photography, especially if you're doing it without a flash. But if you're to afraid to stand up for yourself, enjoy some of mine.

Cool tourist attraction, but be sure to wear comfortable shoes with good grip — the caves are very slippery inside. The long tour was interesting, though I’d recommend the shorter 50-minute option.

Excellent visit to these extraordinary caves. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. A lot more F walking, but very safe to do so - and there's a lift to take you back to the surface!

Monumento a Domenico Modugno is a must-see in Polignano a Mare. The statue overlooks the sea and celebrates the iconic singer of “Volare.” It’s a popular photo spot, especially with the beautiful coastal backdrop. The surrounding area has a lively vibe, and it’s a great place to take a short break while walking through the town. Domenico Modugno, born in Polignano a Mare, co-wrote and performed “Nel blu dipinto di blu” (“Volare”), which became one of Italy’s most internationally famous songs—and even won two Grammy Awards in 1958!

I absolutely love the statue — and the artist who created it! As boats glide into the harbour, “Volare” starts playing and suddenly everyone’s singing and dancing together. The whole place comes alive. The pose is what made him famous when he performed the song for the first time in front of a large audience. He sang with immense passion, bringing a new style and energy that no one had ever seen before. The audience went wild — completely captivated by his performance. His story is truly amazing.

Been there done that! It’s a pity that there’s no details about this symbolism statue, so I asked AI for the explanation. Here’s what it says: “The statue is a monument to Domenico Modugno, a famous Italian singer-songwriter who was born in Polignano a Mare. He is best known for his hit song "Nel blu dipinto di blu," often referred to by its chorus, "Volare." The statue, a three-meter-tall bronze sculpture by Argentine artist Hermann Mejer, was unveiled on May 31, 2009. It depicts Modugno with his arms wide open, an iconic gesture that recalls his performance of "Volare" at the 1958 Sanremo Music Festival. The statue is located on the seafront of Polignano a Mare, looking out over the town and the sea. ＂ Btw. I would definitely recommend you to look for the song to play along for a “dolce” Italian vibes 🥰！

Nice statute in a fabulous location. Hard to get a good photo in the morning, much better in the evening light.

For a moment, I felt like I was flying over Polignano a Mare, just like in the song — light, dreamy, full of Italian magic.

Very beautiful view point! Nice area to chill and have a spritz or coffee.

Lovely town with beautiful views and places to fall in love, the landscape is very nice clean and not too crowded

Beautiful beach, water is absolutely stunning!! However it gets VERY BUSY in summer, and I'm sure the earlier you get there the better to find a spot. Also bring water shoes because it's a rock beach and slippery near the water.

Lama Monachile is one of those places that just takes your breath away the moment you see it. It feels iconic because it truly is—there’s nowhere else quite like it. Spending the day here is something special: swimming in the clear blue water, looking up at the cliffs, and just soaking in the beauty all around. The beach is very rocky, so bring good beach shoes, and if you can, a little float makes the swimming even more fun and relaxing. There are even a few small cliff jumps for the adventurous, but always with safety in mind. It’s not just a beach—it’s an experience you’ll remember.

We spent the day at a beautiful beach framed by rugged cliffs and crystal-clear blue water. The sea was perfect for swimming, with cool grottos and caves to explore beneath the cliffs. We even found a quiet spot on the rocks where we could read, relax, and dive in for a refreshing swim. Later, we wandered back to the beach and enjoyed a cold beer and an Aperol spritz as the sun dipped lower over the water — the perfect end to a perfect day.

Excellent experience checking out this beach today. It is truly stunning and beautiful! As many others have said, make sure to bring your water shoes or sandals as the rocks hurt your feet.

An iconic beach that commands a photo..or two..or three. Very rocky. Not crowded. Even though it was early November I had to have a swim. Water is cool but not cold. Clear. I can see fish around me. And also a surprise. An octopus just metres from the waters edge. Grabbed my phone and managed to capture it briefly. Great experience!

Beautiful rocky beach with crystal-clear water and a relaxing atmosphere. It’s very rocky, so not the most comfortable for long stays, but perfect for a short visit. About 1–2 hours is enough to enjoy it.

Amazing views of a unique to the eye beach. The truth is that it looks way better looking at it than swimming in it, because of the tourist hordes. A must SEE from all possible corners place.

Pretty but... I can't help feel that Polignano is a victim of its own "beauty". Certainly worth a visit, but I felt I kept on waiting for it to deliver, and it never did. It does have an impressive setting, built above and into the shallow cliffs, and it had the typical bars and restaurants to enjoy, with a "new" viaduct where an old Roman one used to be, above THE beach - pebble and crowded, so for viewing from a distance rather than enjoying as a beach. You also run out of things to experience pretty quickly, so give it an hour for a coffee, beer or glass of wine, and move on! Free parking up by the station.

A special place to visit! The tall narrow houses clinging to the cliffs with the crashing waves below. Let your eyes soak up the beautiful clear Adriatic sea. Walk the narrow passages in centro storico. Experience the poetry of the little village. Dive back to Roma times.

What a charming place to stay for a long weekend. Polignano a Mare looks like it is straight out of a movie set. This part of Italy (the heel) does not suffer over-tourism so I found it peaceful. The small town is very eye catching, as it's perched precariously on steep sea cliffs. The houses have flower laden balconies and are separated by tight alleyways. You really feel like you are stepping back in time by decades. Your standard run of the mill restaurant here, would be a top class Italian restaurant at home, and the prices are great. There is a statue here dedicated to their favourite son - the famous Italian singer, composer, and actor Domenico Modugno. There is not much English spoken here, so you are better off making the effort to learn some Italian words. If you are in the Bari area, I would advise coming here for a day trip at least, it's that special here.

A very nice small city with narrow streets and fresh sea air. If you dare, you can try swimming down at the rocks because this area is always full of visitors and tourists. While walking at the streets don't miss the beautiful sea view!

I had the pleasure of visiting the historic center of Polignano a Mare at night, and it was truly breathtaking. The area was bustling with tourists, yet it maintained a charming, intimate atmosphere. The streets were lined with numerous eateries, offering delicious gelato and pizza, perfect for a late-night snack. The art on the walls and light installations added a magical touch, making every corner a visual delight. The small churches scattered throughout the area were adorned with stunning religious art, a testament to the town’s rich cultural heritage. Walking through the narrow alleys, I discovered hidden gems like the Vicolo della Poesia, where poetry adorns the walls, and the picturesque Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II. Polignano a Mare’s historic center is a must-visit, especially at night when it transforms into a vibrant yet serene haven. Whether you’re interested in history, art, or simply enjoying local cuisine, this place has something for everyone. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore its beauty and charm!

If the weather is good, it will be even more beautiful! It's beautiful here

Not a bad city centre but very busy even in the off season.

Alberobello is amazing. The whole city. It is something you see in pictures and in videos, and you say to yourself: This can’t be real. And when you are there you can’t move because you realise it was real all along. The house was very interesting. Amazingly built and was informative of how the people have lived in a trullo. It is well preserved and kept clean. The staff were nice and friendly. I think that if you visit the town, you should visit this place as well. It gives you another perspective than by just walking in the town.

I specifically bought a ticket in advance on Booking called “Skip the Line: Trullo Sovrano Admission Ticket”, so I wouldn’t have to wait in line under the scorching sun at the Trullo Museum. The very name of the ticket says “Skip the Line.” However, when I arrived, it turned out that pre-purchased tickets weren't being accepted at all. I was forced to stand in a half-hour queue under the blazing sun together with people who hadn’t bought any tickets in advance. The line moved very slowly because there was only one person selling and checking tickets at the entrance. I tried twice to enter without waiting in line, showing my pre-booked ticket, but was firmly refused both times. So keep in mind: even if you buy the Skip the Line: Trullo Sovrano Admission Ticket, you will still have to queue with everyone else. There’s nothing particularly special inside. I only waited in line because I had come all the way from Bari to see an authentic trullo. Considering such terrible service, this visit isn't worth even 2€. When I complained at the entrance, the staff member simply told me, “You shouldn’t buy tickets on Booking.” That’s their whole attitude toward visitors.

It’s a beautiful place, but over populated too mutch tourists, Don't go in weekend. half of the day u can see all the city.

Most unique location under protection of UNESCO. Lovely place amazing house. Lost in th e streets of the village and enjoy each house and neighborhood. Must see and experience.

There isn't very much to see, but it is worth it to go inside a Trulli and see how people used to live there. At just 2€ entrance you can't miss it.

Amazing place, Highly recommended to visit, also food is great, try some typical like a sendvich with prsciuto rolled ham

Remarkable and Photogenic Cultural Experience Trullo Sovrano in Alberobello is unforgettable—that’s because it’s the only two‑story trullo, now a museum showcasing traditional Puglian life and architecture. Walking through its original 18th-century rooms, you’ll see period furnishings, info panels, and even seasonal cultural events during the summer. Short, sweet, and absolutely worth it if you’re visiting Alberobello—an iconic must-see in Puglia! 🏡✨

Nice to see and one of the few churches left "Trulli" style. Outside beautiful, inside sober. Just on the end of the main road walking upwards.

Beautiful. church to see while walking around. The inside is small, but fantastic!

Wonderful church, with some amazing murals, paintings and carvings, with a lot of histiry

Breathtaking view, beautiful old church well preserved.

I honestly can’t stress enough how important it is to book this wonderful tour if you are planning a trip to Alberobello! Especially if the wonderful Mimo is your tour guide. He is funny, informative and educational and makes for a very insightful and informative tour ending in visiting an actual Trulli house doubling as a museum then a perfectly prepared lunch served in a secret garden whilst being serenaded by a beautiful live music! Epic experience!

Great and experienced tour guiding company, they have a house museum of their own.

nice

(Translated by Google) Beautiful city already visited twice, you always discover something new. Anyone who has time and is in Puglia should take a look at the trulli in Alberobello. (Original) Wunderschöne Stadt bereits zum 2 mal besichtigt, man entdeckt immer wieder etwas neues. Jeder der Zeit hat und sich in Apulien befindet sollte sich die Trullis in Alberobello ansehen.

This was an absolutely fantastic experience. Initially I was worried about spending 5 hours on a boat but the time flew so quickly that we didn't even realize it. We were lucky to see dolphins, turtles, and many other species on the surface, this is not always possible though and does not depend on the crew... The members of the association were so helpful and polite, they revealed so many details of their work and were careful to answer each of our questions. I was amazed at how respectful they are in regards to the sea life. Make sure to book your trip in advance and get ready to see unforgettable sequences of marine life!

Wonderful experience in a special ecosystem. The team are very professional and knowledgeable, the approach is scientific and the atmosphere inclusive. It is definitely great value for money too.

What an excellent day on board. Really informative and we spent time viewing striped Dolphins in a natural habitat. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended

An amazing experience. It is magnificent to see the beauty, power and elegance of those wonderful creatures. It is unbelievable how close they came to our observation deck and seeing them in their natural environment and behaviour made us simply speechless. The local guides on board are very skilled biologists and they really know what they are talking about. An appropriate English translation was offered, which makes it a wonderful half-day trip also for non-italian speakers like us. We would join this trip for sure the next time we visit Puglia. A big thanks to the entire staff.

This excursion was definitely a highlight of our trip to Italy. It was well organized and highly informative. Being able to observe these dolfins in their natural habitat was like nothing I had ever experienced. The well being of these animals is of paramount importance to the staff and crew. When we would come upon a family of dolfins they would shut off the catamaran's engine and ask us to speak quietly so as to not agitate the animals. It was an amazing opportunity and one that I would highly recommend.

A day that we will always remember and changed our perspective forever. We spent the day with the association on their boat with our 3 daughters (the youngest is 4), and it was amazing. We could see more dolphins that we could dream of (stripped and buttlenose dolphins), playing and jumping in front of our boat. The association members are passionate and do everything to transmit their love for cetaces' and explain how to protect them. The dolphins were never attracted by food or tracked down. If they seem shy, we just stopped following them but the stripped ones were amazingly curious. Even though everyone else spoke English, Juli was kind enough to translate everything for us, which made the tour as educational as it was impressive. Just remember that you need to bring your lunch (drinks are provided for) and sunscreen. No need for swimming equipment since it is no allowed to swim with the dolphins.

We went on the 20/7 and saw 2 large groups of dolphins (more than 50 in total). It was an amazing and beautiful experience to see them in their natural habitat. The crew is passionate and dedicated to nature preservation and they share their passion with all passengers. A wonderful way to increase awareness on how to help dolphins at individual level. Thank you for you work!

Had a wonderful time looking at tge beautiful city of taranto. The garden was great had peacocks, swans, doves etc. Nice cafe with toilet facilities.

One of the most beautiful places in taranto especially for running🏃 reading a book📖 or just a romantic walk🚶❤️

I can imagine in its heyday it would have been wonderful, but it appears in a bit of disrepair. There are lots of cats 🐈 and lots of turtles 🐢 which were cute

Early morning quiet walk. The groundskeepers are still doing their job sweeping leaves raking the flower beds. The reconstructed gardens of Villa Peripato, now central city park, replete with an amusement park, restaurant and vistas of the Mare Piccolo.

Ancient. Beautiful garden. Beautiful views over the Mar piccolo. There is a playground for kids. Turtles in a Fontaine.

A very nice park with peacocks and a great view of the bay. Cool place to chill 🙂

In my opinion it was very nice, but Unfortunatelly we cant see Bay and military ships.

Amazing experience! We took the train from Bari and a bus from the train station + a 30 min walk from Fasano, as there was no shuttle bus during weekdays, but was totally worth it. We did not have a car, and were planning to take the bus, but we were given a spare car, which made the experience unforgettable.

Amazing experience! One literally feeds giraffes amd zebras out of the car window. Animals are so near that it cannot be compared with any other zoo. Bring 3-5 kg Carrots and buy peanuts for the monkeys! Totally worth it for any age.

The safari tour was great but the rest more la la.. Rest is the second part of walking tour including a funny train and many closed attractions. Also they forced me to pay extra parking 4 EUR although I paid a family ticket 140 EUR and they know the tour ends with parking and proceeding by foot once through the safari with the car🤣 . Pretty low and embarrassing 👎 But!! The camels are over cool. 🐫

Loved it! Safari from the car was definitely the best part! Bring carrots with you, animals will love it. It can get slow and crowded in the season, so have patience and enjoy the ride. Bring water with you cause it can take 2 hours to just go through the first part in car. You don’t have to buy tickets in advance, you can do it at the gate from your car when you arrive.

Great time spent with the family in the Safari and the park! The park is huge, you can see the animals very close, pet them! The animals are well looked after, there is no bad smell at all! Their territory is large, it looks like the animals are happy in the park! I highly recommend it!

Me and my family had a great time! Every penny was worth it :). The animals seemed happy and freely ran around the park. After our family went through the safari we left without knowing how much is left there,so make sure you don’t make the same mistake! But even if you do,you can come back the same day with the same tickets and you can make sure you don’t miss any more fun! 5 stars❤️

It's well managed and unique (for Europe) place to see lots of exotic animals considerably free in a wide space from the close but safe approach of your car. There are many areas that you are allowed to touch and feed the animals (please don't give them junk or human food, you can buy carrots, peanuts etc. specially for them at the entrance) and areas where you need to stay in your car at all times but it's all worth it. The animals looks like the staff take good care of them which is very important for me considering other similar places or zoo parks in Europe. It's really family/kids friendly place. In the pedestrian area you can find other animals and different zones like reptiles and insects, lake with birds and monkeys where you can have a paid boat ride, there is a rail car (zoo metro) which you can take from one zone to another, a special monkey zone which you can visit with a caged safari style truck and feed peanuts to the animals through a special holes. There is an amusement park in the pedestrian area where you can find food and drinks and have some fun before you take off. Overall a great place for kids and families, we had amazing time there.

Always a pleasure eating here We had Sunday lunch here on a busy day, yet food and service were both very good and atmosphere is great wether dining indoors or outdoors

A very nice surprise! Beautiful interior and and apart experience 🙂

Big church right in front of Piazza Immacolota. Path from Piazza roma to this church, stone flooring is really good, flashy and unique. It's quite big, you can see its structure (from different angles) almost from any streets in that area.

Such an amazing Basilica in the centre of Martina Franca. Blown away for the architecture, and the art work. If you’re ever in Martina Franca visiting this basilica is a must!

A most impressive church. This huge building with impressive steps is neatly hidden along the thin streets and winding alleyways. We were lucky enough to witness a christening with all attending dressed perfectly on a very hot day. The front of this building is incredibly tall and sits imposingly over the small square in front. Did not get to see inside but visiting other local churches shows the extent of the impressive art and architecture in Martina Franca.

Nice basilica with a good fire baroque and rococo details

Just goes to show, you can even have a lovely time exploring Martina Franca in the rain.

Fresh fish and all the fruits of the sea, great service and good prices

Super

amazing sea food restaurant

Good fish!

Amazing ! Adorable people all around ! Beautiful places in Grottaglie ! Would love to come back !

So lovely. We met a 93 year old artist and a studio that makes huge jars bigger than my husband. Very pleasant stop at the purgatory bar after.

If you go to Grottaglie this is the place you MUST visit. A street of artisan botteghe producing handmade ceramic masterpieces. You can find beautiful pieces for everyone taste. From classic ceramic to astonishing modern pieces. A couple of bar can offer you a drink and a snack in the hottest hour of the day or just to sit and admire the beauty of what you have around.

Incredible town for all pottery lovers

Tourist trap with multiple shops. Did purchase two small ornamennts. A couple places had staff painting the partially dry base prior to kilning. Most shops asked that no pictures or videos be taken. Not sure why??? Some pieces looked very interesting but too big to transport back home. Definitely a quality difference between shops. Be careful, shop several stores first then go back after you have noticed the variances.

Lovely experience - some fantastic artistry. Many shops sell the same but there are some that are clearly artisansz

Wonderful place for wonderful ceramics art!

the sea of this beach is amazing ,crystal clear.the beach has fine sand,nice sunbeds and umbrellas,a good bar ,nice personal.i would highly recommend it ,and it is not crowded which is just perfect!

Food portion a bit small for the price but overall clean water easy access / entrance. We paid 20 euro for a sunbed and umbrella in a pretty central place. I would Recommend it

The beach is amazing and well maintained, unfortunately the Resturant service is less than avarage and more expensive than a restaurant. We paid 10 euro for 5 meatballs ( normally is part of a startet at any resturant in Taranto and priced aroun d 3-4 euros) and 10 euro for some iceberg salad with some mais..... So lesson learned, next time I LL bring my own food . Answering comments from Bahia del Sol: Unfortunately the dish was not started ... 5 meatballs it's the full portion, one is broken up to show the inside .... . I even asked to the staff If this was a real portion and the lady replied: YES 5 meatballs it's the full portion . Really a pity to see this happening in Apulia.

Nice private beach, warm sea, price for drink, food and ice cream very friendly. Visited during MSC cruise

Clear blue water. All for a reasonable price. Private parking next to the entrance. Very polite and helpful staff.

Awesome sea, awesome sand, great mojitos, tasty food, want to go back already!

Lovely place for the family vacation including restaurant, parking and all the beach services. Beautiul sea❤️ Came after 2 yrs and enjoyed again!

nice beach .. clear water .. top service .. we will come back again ..

Blue Mediterranean sea and blue Italy Puglia sky! Great time in amazing place! I will come back for a long vacation here!

If i have the option to leave 0 star this is what i will gave to them. We came inside for buy something to drink, my little boy and my wife were thirsthy..but we coldnt because the manager told us that i could not pay with card, the have the card machine but he refuse couse the minimum spend its £50, plus will charge him a lot money for service. In all aerea no one accept payment with card plus no cash machine around...i had to drive 15 minuts to get to the close town and buy finally a bottle of water. Very disappointed...

Ok

We stayed two days in ostuni, and we really wanted to visit the catherdral . We checked the opening time, it should be open. But each time we go there, the door was closed, and there is no any information about why it’s closed. I asked a lady she lived nearby, she told me Saturday should always open, I waited outside Saturday morning till almost 11:00am, it’s still not open. The catherdral should be very impressive, but we couldn’t give 2 stars. The service is too bad!

The cathedral on top of the hill amongst the white buildings. The evening light captures the rose window beautifully. It is free to enter and worth to have a look around.

It is always so amazing to see these pieces of history from the Cathedral to the white city on this hilltop. A town that presents itself as art of history and the canvas is this earth we live on.

Nice church, but I had not the chance to go inside

Looks nice from the outside but staff are unreliable. The church had opening hours posted outside with a yellow sign so I waited and still not possible to visit long after the opening time specified. Disappointing.

Beautiful duomo at day and at night

Calm and beautifull

Beautiful castle with wonderful views of the town. Has a courtyard shaded by trees and in the middle a big palm tree. You can visit different rooms of the castle and most have decorations and furniture that was used by the couple who previously owned it. The tickets can be bought directly at the entrance and price includes an audioguide. A must visit if you are in the area.

Really Lovely building to walk round with some good views and a beautiful courtyard, €6 per person, not bad but would be disappointed to pay any more

Nice castello in the heart of the historical centre of Carovigno, beautiful entrance, loads of historical information about the Castelo. Free visit and helpful staff.

Beautiful little castle with amazing looks in the night

Beautiful example of a fortified baronial residence immaculate in every detail.

A nice cool visit on a hot day, worthwhile.

A Stunning and Wonderful place to shoot wedding photography by FINNimaje

One of the few baroque church that has actual style. It is located on the plaza in the very picturesque village. The fassade is quite detailed and so is the very subtle but also quite elegantly built interior. A highlight is the mummy crypt below, which was sadly closed during our visit.

After long renovation is the Cathedrale of Oria open again. Which us this year at 2022. Very nicely done, just look closer.. you will realize that all the walls are paintings which gives you the idear of marbel. If you would join at Sunday the church than is this one option to be. Beautiful small historical place. Underneath are mummy's which got a special place of the hold of belive. Discover more and move around ! Enjoy the castel as well and drink afterwards one good Italian Caffè at Despeto.

Beautiful. Best church in the area. Petrified mummies can be found in the crypt. There is a museum to the back left hand side of the courtyard which is on the right of the church as you come up the hill. It is not advertised or sign posted but work a little look.

stunning baroque cathedral un on the main hill of Oria overlooking on the valley. don't miss the crypt with the mummies

Super good place. It’s peaceful

(Translated by Google) A beautiful example of baroque architecture, the interior is beautiful, expertly enhanced with a clever play of light....the rather simple façade, in carparo....paintings of great realism decorate the side naves....worth a visit .....houses in the crypt the now famous mummies of Oria with a history of their own. (Original) Un bellissimo esempio di architettura barocca,l'interno è bellissimo sapientemente valorizzato con un sapiente gioco di luci....la facciata piuttosto semplice,in carparo....dipinti di grande realismo arredano le navate laterali....merita una visita.....ospita nella cripta le ormai famose mummie di Oria con storia a sé.

(Translated by Google) The interior is what it is, but it's the location that's breathtaking. Perched high up, right on top of the fortress that once belonged to the Messapians, it offers sweeping views... And from afar, when Oria can still only be glimpsed, it looks like an island emerging from the sea of ​​olive trees. (Original) L'interno è quello che è, ma è la posizione che è da capogiro. Piantata in cima, ma proprio in cima alla rocca che già fu dei Messapi, panorami sconfinati ... E da lontano, quando ancora Oria soltanto si intravede, sembra un isola che emerge dal mare degli ulivi.

A beautiful long sandy beach with green shallow water. Perfect for little ones as it’s shallow for 50 yards or more. There are a few black seaweed spots that you can easily avoid. It’s very long so there is plenty of space to find a spot even when it’s busy. There are free spots and paid spots with an umbrella and chairs. You can also pay 5 Euro to park else there is a bunch of free side street parking within an easy walk to the beach. There are a few beach bars and some sit down restaurants. There are quite a few merchant peddlers selling stuff including water toys. Felt like I was in the Caribbean, so I would definitely check out this beach if in the area.

The sea is beautiful but definitely colder than down in gallipoli Also the beach being over crowded with people is very disappointing Not even a nice crowd

Beautiful beach! We visited a lot of beaches but this was by far the most beautiful one!

Absolutely amazing, beautiful beach! The water is super clean and clear!

As a resident of southern California, nothing in California compares. This is an amazing pkace to visit and spend a summer vacation.

Visited this place last year in July, it was just what we love in a beach - a perfect clear blue water and a white sand. It was quite crowded at a time, but didn’t bother - this clear water beats it all. Will come back definitely.

Phenomenal beach. Turquoise and incredibly clear sea, white/golden sand. BUT way overcrowded. People are cramped up like sardines. Ombrelloni, loungers, towels, and chairs everywhere so it’s even difficult to go to the sea AVOID in summer months. Try to go end of may, first part of june and september, should be bearable.

Little dirty and terrible roads for drive but the beach is beautiful

Worth a detour! Nature's contribution is staggering. Staff and offer are good.

Beautiful beach …crystal clear and surrounded with nice landscape Decent food and very helpful staff Thanks to Caterina for facilitating our booking!

Nice beach, also friendly people with good food service and nice music, they have also wood fancy sunbeds... One of the best lido in the area

Great, beautifull, kind service, clean turquis water, good food, drinks, toilets, shower. Best on Punta Prosciutto.

Beautiful beach club with the best, super comfortable beds. Place well kept and helpful staff. Absolutely amazing sea. One of my favourite places in punta prosciutto!

Amazing place, from the crystal clear water to the atmosphere and comfort of the sun beds. We’ve been here 2 weekends in a row in the month of August and they always accommodated us. Both times we just showed up to the morning of and they found umbrellas for us. The food is amazing and super fresh and I have to say, compared to other Lidos in the same area, their prices are very reasonable. For the same comfort and quality you can expect to pay double if not more in other places. The owners are very friendly as well. I really don’t get those that have had a bad experience here. My family and I will be back, 100%!

We visited Togo Bay Beach Club twice last week and absolutely loved it. As a couple traveling with a baby, I couldn’t recommend a better spot in Puglia. It’s simply perfect — the vibe is just what you’d want at the beach: calm, peaceful, relaxing, and incredibly comfortable. The beach itself is beautiful, with clear, shallow water that’s ideal for babies and kids. The infrastructure is excellent — everything is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. Every detail, from the service to the atmosphere, made us feel at ease. We would go back in a heartbeat.

The set up was very nice. Great sandy beaches comfy day beds. Reservations kinda easy but hard to contact the club. Fill out form on website and they send you back an offer within 48 hours. Staff very attentive, helpful and they are constantly cleaning glasses plates and all garbage. We spent the entire day here with our small children. The public beach next door sells everything you would need for a day at the beach too

Absolutely exceptional. From A to Z. With the only negative thing is quite high prices. High season- 2 lounges and an umbrella are 95 euros . But let me tell you that everything is super impeccable there. The area I superb, the beach is sandy, and the water is turquoise clear and very shallow. The service is OMG!!! Everyone is extremely friendly, but when you tip, the service becomes even better . Top level . The lounges are very comfortable, with mattresses. You can buy their own towels or bring yours. Their towels are huge . We bought them))) very nice. And gods was out of this world. The chef is preparing everything on spot, very fast and extremely delicious. We had THE BEST lobster sandwich ever!!!! Eggplants , tiramisu, simply everything was delicious!!!! Absolutely exceptional. From A to Z. With the only negative thing is quite high prices.

They have live Dj on weekends, during the weekdays they play music . It gets very busy on a weekend, so you want to reserve your spot beforehand. Enough parking spaces . Great job. We will be back for sure.

Avoid this beach club if you’re looking for a relaxing, well-managed seaside experience. While the coastline is stunning, the overall experience is ruined by the management and front desk staff — incredibly rude and unhelpful. Booking a sunbed or even getting clear information is nearly impossible. You’re expected to fill out vague online inquiry forms, and even then, there’s no guarantee you’ll actually get a spot. Despite spending a decent amount of money here over a few days, the service at the reception remained consistently poor. The only saving grace was the waitstaff — they were fantastic. Unfortunately, the food situation is equally disappointing: no proper meals, just bland snacks that aren’t worth the price. There’s nowhere decent to eat. In short: great view, great waiters, terrible management, zero hospitality. I strongly do not recommend this beach club.

Great place with excellent service, fantastic music, and an amazing DJ after 4 pm. Our waiter. Alexander (the waiter), was very attentive to all our requests and guided us perfectly in choosing the right food. The Fino rosé wine wasn’t really worth it, but everything else more than made up for it.

Absolutely fantastic place! Gorgeous beach- gorgeous setting! Music, ambiance, service, food- love every part of this experience!

Togo Bay is visually stunning, splendid clear water like the Caribbean. The chairs are generous in size and with plenty of space between you and your neighbors. Service was good, but should have been better given the very high prices for chairs and umbrellas, food, wine and even water. Lunch was delicious, but the prices were quite high for Salento. At times it was hard to get a waiter and we had to ask several times to get what we wanted. I will definitely go back in the off season, but the service didn’t warrant the prices they were charging.
