Easy to find if you put LIPU in the SatNav. The path is well marked and also easy to follow. Stunning views.

Well maintained walking path, beautiful nature and views. There is free parking available onsite and accessible view point even for ones that can't hike.

very nice walking path

Beautiful, majestic place. Manuel is great always prepared to share his knowledge about this fantastic canyon

Great views, hike is not too difficult or surprising. Decent.

Nice hiking place, beautiful nature view places on the track.

Amazing canyon! Lovely walk along it

(Translated by Google) I recommend a visit. Lots of images and objects and costumes that tell the story of the life of Rudolph Valentino. (Original) Consiglio di visitarlo. Tante immagini e Oggetti costumi che raccontano la vita di Rodolfo Valentino

(Translated by Google) The museum opened a little after ten o'clock. The young lady and the gentleman are very friendly and were happy to answer any questions. I was accompanied and a lot was shown and explained to me. This just gives you a little feeling that you can't be left alone. OK, not bad. I was very impressed by the exhibition, the wonderful, sometimes rare, photographs and the entire presentation. Lots of explanations for the photos. But then came the absolute highlight, real jewelry that Rudolph Valentino is said to have worn to his films. Of course everything in the showcase. The rings, the brooch, the pin and a pocket watch are sooooooooooooo beautiful and fascinated me and made me dream!!! Then there was the bed he slept in, typical of his time. And an original carpet probably from his film The Sheik or The son of the Sheik. However, I was very sad that these beautiful things and the photos were not allowed to be photographed in the room, so I left with tears in my eyes. If the jewelry were to be auctioned, I would be the first to bid on it!!! So I was able to at least buy some cards with his portrait and a small picture frame. I'll definitely come back, but for now I can only watch his films. Grazia's Enrico Bartscher ❣️ (Original) Das Museum hatte etwas nach zehn Uhr aufgemacht. Die junge Dame und der Herr sind sehr freundlich und beantworteten jede Frage gern. Ich wurde begleitet und mir wurde viel gezeigt und erklärt. Dadurch nur ein wenig das Gefühl man darf nicht allein gelassen werden. Ok nicht schlimm. Ich war sehr beeindruckt von der Ausstellung, den wunderbaren zum Teil seltenen Fotografien und der ganzen Darstellung. Viele Erklärungen zu den Fotos. Doch dann kam das absolute Highlight, echter Schmuck den Rudolph Valentino zu seinen Filmen getragen haben soll. Natürlich alles in der Vitrine. Die Ringe, die Brosche, die Anstecknadel und eine Taschenuhr sind sooooooooooo wunderschön und haben mich fasziniert und träumen lassen!!! Dann noch das Bett in dem er schlief, typisch für seine Zeit. Und ein Original Teppich wahrscheinlich aus seinem Film The Sheik oder The son of the Sheik. Sehr traurig war ich allerdings dass diese schönen Dinge und die Fotos in dem Raum nicht fotografiert werden durften, so bin ich mit einem weinenden Auge wieder heraus gegangen. Wenn der Schmuck versteigert werden würde, ich wäre der Erste der darauf bietet!!! Somit konnte ich wenigstens einige Karten mit seinem Porträt und einen kleinen Bilderrahmen kaufen. Ich komme bestimmt wieder, aber solange kann ich mir nur seine Filme ansehen. Grazias Enrico Bartscher ❣️

Great place, nice sun beds, very nice atmosphere, the food court just started, looking forward when they will be up to speed, great service, everyone is very friendly and helpful

Coco Beach is a great value-for-money spot with very friendly staff. The atmosphere and pool are exceptionally clean, making it a pleasant place to relax. However, if it’s windy, the waves and the pebbly beach can reduce the enjoyment of the sea, so it’s best to plan your visit according to the weather. There are also options for table tennis, volleyball, and a kids’ club, adding extra fun for visitors of all ages.

This location offers the perfect environment to unwind and savor some leisure time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With top-notch facilities, welcoming and highly professional staff, delicious food, and the opportunity to enjoy refreshing swims in either the sea or a pool, it's an ideal spot for relaxation and enjoyment.

Very beautiful location for a pre wedding party. We enjoyed it a lot. There is parking right at the location. The sunset is amazing to watch. The cold apero was not our favorite but the warm ones were good.

We had a wonderful time at Coco Beach Club! The atmosphere is perfect for both adults and kids. The place is relaxing, welcoming, and beautifully set by the sea. A special thank you to Pino, Franco and Ruben as well as the entire staff, who were incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive throughout our visit. Everyone went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a carefree and enjoyable day by the water!

What makes an experience is how your left feeling at the end of the day. We had planned to come on a Friday to use the pool because it was too winding for the beach. The thrillers party site we booked through didn’t communicate that the pool was closed. When we arrived, the director explained to us what had happened, obviously we were disappointed. But then this is where true customer service and hospitality shined! The director and his team arranged for us to come the next day and provided free parking, exclusive pool access for our kids and made us feel like nothing was too much to ask for. It’s a great location, great food, friendly team who were there to help you. We overheard some miscommunication on the day from other guests but from our perspective the team were always looking to find solution and make the experience as enjoyable as possible.

Cool beach club equipped with lots of beds and umbrellas to rent. Nice little beach. Get fare bit incl in your rental fee - water, cocktail, snacks, Prosecco. Nice lunch options at all reasonable prices. Little disorganised though. Lots of young staff but weren't quite served on as well as could be.

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, this year too, the access of fully dressed voyeurs in the upper dunes is very common, spying and filming with cell phones the swinging couples who perform without restraints. Degradation is taking over Termitosa and if the municipality of Castellaneta does not do something it will only get worse! The beach does not have differentiated bins after the level crossing and there are no chemical toilets, as there were last year, so you can imagine what is created behind the bushes. There are no disabled parking spaces, neither in the internal part of the pine forest, nor in front of the station where there is parking: in a civilized country with the law on disability, 104, there must be: it is shameful. The sea is quite clean, even if on the beach you find plastic and residues everywhere. Access to dogs, even if there are special dog beaches, is allowed in the nudist area, but the excrements should be collected and bagged. The signs marking the boundaries of the naturist area do not stop people in bathing suits from going to the beach, creating unpleasant episodes out of context: it is just 200 meters of beach so a textile worker should respect that space, instead of invading it and staring at others. The municipality of Castellaneta should put up signs prohibiting voyeurs and filming with cell phones, like in France, Germany for example, and many European countries with a number to call to report offenders. These are the results when you do things the Italian way. Disheartening. (Original) Purtroppo anche quest'anno è molto diffuso l'accesso a guardoni, completamente vestiti, nelle dune superiori che spiano e riprendono con cellulari le coppie scambiste che si esibiscono senza freni. Il degrado sta prendendo il sopravvento alla Termitosa e se il comune di Castellaneta non farà qualcosa sarà sempre peggio! La spiaggia non ha bidoni differenziati dopo il passaggio a livello e non ci sono i bagni chimici, dello scorso anno, per cui si può immaginare cosa si crea dietro i cespugli. Non ci sono posti per disabili, né nella parte interna della pineta, né davanti la stazione dove c'è il parcheggio: in un paese civile con la legge sulla disabilità, la 104, ci devono essere: è vergognoso. Il mare è abbastanza pulito, anche se in spiaggia si trova plastica e residui ovunque. L'accesso ai cani, anche se ci sono le bau beach apposite, è permesso nell'area nudista, ma le deiezioni dovrebbero essere raccolte e imbustate. I cartelli di delimitazione dell'area naturista non frenano persone con il costume a mettersi in spiaggia creando spiacevoli episodi fuori contesto: sono 200 metri di spiaggia appena per cui un tessile dovrebbe rispettare quello spazio, invece di invaderlo e fissare gli altri. Il comune di Castellaneta dovrebbe inserire dei cartelli in cui si vietano i voyeur e le riprese con il cellulare, come in Francia, in Germania per esempio, e molti paesi d'Europa con un numero da chiamare per denunciare i trasgressori. Questi sono i risultati quandi si fanno le cose all'italiana. Sconfortante.

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.

I recommend a boat tour Polignano d Mare. Very good experience.

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

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.

We took a day trip from Bari to Trullo Sovrano by train, and it was a wonderful experience. The village is beautiful, with its unique trulli houses and charming streets. The atmosphere was very pleasant and peaceful, making it a perfect getaway from the city.

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

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

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.

Incredible place for family with kids! Obviously also very interesting for the adults. A broad spectrum of animals, in very good condition, by the way! You drive around in your car, so it is very convenient and at your own pace - you take as much time as you want. The others pass you by without any problem. The amusement park is also fantastic. Plenty of places to treat yourselves with food.

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!

Amazing place!! Deffinitely worth visiting if you're in Apulia. It is a 5km drive through areas with different animals. You can go either with your car or with a safari bus & driver who explains about the animals. If you choose the latter - as we did and it was quite busy, the safari bus has priority when driving around the area and can stop closer to the animals. I think it is the biggest safari in the region and it has a lot of animals like lions, tigers, hippos, rhinos, giraffes, elephants and more Some of them are directly on the road and you can even touch and feed them! Strongly recommend! If you're visiting by train - there is a free shuttle bus from the train station to the park.

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!

Beautiful cathedral but some parts require renovation and it’s sad to see how rest of the historic centre looks today.

One of the most historically important cathedrals in Puglia, dating back to the 11th century. Rich in Baroque architecture, sacred art, and symbols of papal visits. Una cattedrale viva, ricca di fede e storia. Imperdibile a Taranto.

Don’t be fooled by first impressions. The outside looks like just another small cathedral. Walking in it all seems rather plain. You must go further, the ceiling and stone floor near the altar are interesting. You must go to the right side and to the big chapel. That is where the amazement is. A stunning ceiling painting, statues and wall decorations. Don’t miss the crypt either. It is only open to 12:45 in the morning and then in the evening. It is closed in the afternoon, so you need to plan your visit there. It is free to enter.

What would a unification of both the Catholic and the Orthodox world look like. A must see Attraction.

Look to the right side of the main alter and visit the chapel, it's amazing. Also visit the script

Open in the morning and in the evening. Impressive marble mosaic. Definitely worth it.

A real surprise, stunning inside and a must see in Taranto.

Very interesting and surprisingly large inside! We spent a good hour inside. There was quite a lot of good information on the Spartans that I never knew 🙂

Interesting to look around. The tour was in Italian and there wasn’t an opportunity to do an English tour. Cost 5€. There was a film at the beginning with had some English subtitles and provided a good overview. The Archeological Museum is a better spend of time and dollars.

Only opens on a Sunday, not very good when your cruise ship docks on a Wednesday.

Very small museum, expensive for the price. Save your €10 for a pizza instead

Am not sure if it was because it was out of season. But it was closed and when I called the number to check opening times, the person didn't speak English and I also looked at the site. Which didn't give out much information.

Very interesting.

Highly recommended!!!

The castle are still a functional and working marine barracs, so you have to take the free tour. Otherwise no entry. It didn't work with our schedule

Astonishing scenes of old and new. The Ponte Girevole (swing bridge ) opens for ships and connects too seas. Castello has free tours but in Italian only

Entry is only by the free guided tour at set times during the day and evening. It is still an Italian Navy facility therefore the restrictions. It is still is worth viewing from the outside. We couldn’t wait 2 hours for the next tour so we had to skip it. Definitely would do it next time.

A very nice visit at the castle. A navy official provides a guided tour for free (in Italian) every hour. The tour gives information over the history of Taranto and the castle. I found it very informative and entertaining. I would recommend doing it if you are visiting Taranto. Also I was amazed that by the sunset, they displayed the Italian flag with lights on one of the sides of the Costello while playing some anthem (I wish I knew what was it), I loved that moment.

A beautiful castle belongs to the Italian navy, but an unpleasant surprise awaited us, you must have booked a tour guide, that's the only way you can enter...!!! It doesn't even matter so it's worth a visit. Highly recommended.

Very interesting history and friendly staff! Visit with the group is free and scheduled.

We wanted to visit the castle, but the experience at the reception was rather unpleasant. The information provided was very insufficient. We asked for a tour in English, but it was not available, and they also refused to let us join the Italian-language group.

This museum and Museo Sigismondo Castromediano in Lecce will give you excellent overview of the history of this region. It is impressive what artefacts they have from Ancient Greek and Roman times. The collection comes mostly from necropolis. Definitively worth a visit, we were in November and we were the only people here while visiting the museum … If you buy ticket for MUDI you will get discount for this museum and vice versa. Kudos to friendly stuff.

What a gem! Such a beautiful collection. The highlights for us included the collection of Medusa faces and the incredible array of jewelry. A couple of lovely temporary exhibitions rounded it out. Worth the visit and a good audio guide as well.

This is one of the most surprising and jaw dropping museums I have ever visited. I would very rarely suggest driving hours out of your way for a museum but if you are a fan of Greco-Romano culture this gas artefacts that are just outstanding. The audio guide gives you a pretty good background but I could have spent hours and hours here - instead we only spent 2.5 hours in this museum as it was just so overwhelming. The athletes section is amazing, especially if you have an interest in pan-Atheneum games.

Pretty good for the history before BC, but minimal history after that! I really enjoyed the videos and want more of them to give 5 stars. I went on a Sunday and it wasn’t crowded. But don’t use the elevator/lifts is you have a fear of small, packed , and hot stuffy spaces.

We spent a couple of hours here and it was worth every penny - a really epic display of history with so many items and so much detail! The huge mosaics were a highlight. Even though it wasn't applicable to us we also appreciated the accessibility with several sensory exhibits for people without vision, and ramps and lifts.

Incredible museum in Taranto - boot of Italy, that traces it's history from 800 BC through the Grecco Roman Period. Wonderfully displayed artifacts which guide you through it's long history. Unfortunately, it is really the only site worth visiting. A pretty old city, but nothing remarkable. But if you find yourself in Taranto, it's well worth your time!

Really interesting museum with lots of archeological artefacts. The descriptions were all in Italian and English. We really enjoyed it.

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.

Beautiful place, very clean, quiet and peaceful

Really nice beach, 10 minutes walk small bar with refreshments

Fantastic sand beach. You can walk for kilometers and find loads of spots without people were ot enjoy the sun and sea.

I did not know that olive trees could look like that.

Regional heritage for a perfect sea session. Don’t walk on them but just look at them, years and years ago there was the Appia road of Ancients Romans.. pure beauty!

Nice sandy beach. Clear waters, but watch out for sea urchins. No shade.

I just wish it was respected more so that it wasn't full of rubbish through the winter. Why don't people have respect for their countryside?

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!

Ok club, friendly staff (unlike the neighboring ones)

A historical and spiritual gem in the heart of Ostuni. The church of San Francesco d’Assisi blends centuries of devotion with beautiful Baroque and Renaissance touches. The current façade, rebuilt in 1883, is elegant and welcoming, and the interior tells a long story of faith, art, and architecture. Un luogo silenzioso, ricco di storia e fascino francescano. A must-see when visiting Ostuni!

Nice big church in the center of Ostuni. Being in center it catches your attention easily and something which you won't miss.

Nice small church on the edge of the old city and the hill. Worth a quick look inside. It is free to enter.

Good place but you don't need much time over there!

Build end of 17th century, located in the central square at the beginning of the small road that leads to the Romanic style Cathedral. On the way many little local restaurants and bars, all value for money. I liked the atmosphere and the easy of the area. Had dinner at Monacelle, all in, not to be missed

Historical place for whoever interested

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.

Historical church. Spend few minutes to read its story, in this way you can learn the meaning of it

Calm and beautifull

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

Ok

Bellisimo

mare stupendooooooooooo
