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.

Very pleasant day here. Helpful staff. Quiet when we were there. Nice swimming and reasonable food. Loved the idea of it being on the site of an ancient city too!

Great atmosphere with soft music in the background added to ithwr smart little details that make you feel a real summer nature beauty with simple things..

It doesn’t matter how nice a place seems to be, if the people managing it are that greedy. No one can forbid someone else to drink water!!! It‘s a human right. This behavior diminishes the pleasure from going to a lido so much, that I don’t want to step another foot into such a place. But even forbidding to eat is not ok, when you have already paid for the umbrellas and beds.

Archeolido Egnazia Beach is a beautiful summer getaway! There are a couple of restaurant / bars nearby to serve guests and the staff is friendly and helpful to find you excellent chairs overlooking the beach. The sandy part of the beach is limited; however, it includes a natural pool and some Messapian tombs in the water. Groups of children with chaperones come to the beach in the morning and leave by noon, giving the beach a mix of family atmosphere and quiet relaxation.

Super nice and beautiful place

Nice sand and rocks. Not crazy crowded in the afternoons.

Very nice lido near archeological site

Fantastic visit! Staff was great to open for us after calling. Beautiful setting. Interesting history

According to the website it was supposed to be open today, but it was closed. What a pity. Why aren't the opening times updated on the internet? We drove there especially...

This was by far one of the best experiences we had in Puglia !!! A hidden gem. I can’t wait to go back!

Very beautiful place. Nice to walk around for 1-2 hours in the beautiful olive trees and caves

Long history, far beyond "rock churches", mostly sure back to 'neolythic cave dwellings'

(Translated by Google) It was a wonderful opportunity to visit this magical place. We grandparents, along with five children, strolled through the lama for a couple of hours. The children, extremely curious, explored the numerous caves and had a blast. We even met the mascot cat, who let everyone pet him. The place is truly remarkable, and imagining the lives of the people who once lived there was fascinating. We found carob trees and blackberries, and the youngest was thrilled to look for his favorite animals: insects. Marica was very kind and helpful. I highly recommend this visit to everyone, especially families with children: it's a safe, interesting place, full of wonders to discover. (Original) È stata una bellissima occasione per visitare questo luogo magico. Noi nonni, insieme a cinque bambini, abbiamo passeggiato nella lama per un paio d’ore. I bambini, curiosissimi, hanno esplorato le numerose grotte e si sono divertiti moltissimo. Abbiamo incontrato anche il gatto mascotte, che si è lasciato coccolare da tutti. Il posto è davvero notevole, e immaginare la vita delle persone che ci abitavano un tempo è stato affascinante. Abbiamo trovato carrubi, more, e il più piccolo si è entusiasmato nel cercare i suoi animali preferiti: gli insetti. Marica è stata molto gentile e disponibile. Consiglio vivamente questa visita a tutti, soprattutto alle famiglie con bambini: è un luogo sicuro, interessante e ricco di meraviglie da scoprire.

Guide preparate e cordiali ti accompagnano in un percorso dalle mille sfaccettature. Davvero spettacolare il restauro virtuale della chiesetta.

Ruins and museum are very impressive and site is very well organized. Audio tour gives great insight!

Really interesting museum if you want to learn more about the ancient history of Egnazia. The “underwater” exhibit with but aquarium and interactive parts could be fun for kids too. It helps you to feel how far the history of the region goes.

Of course not as large as some other sites in Italy, but really well done, the audio guide is v informative, and the museum is very comprehensive. Shows in great detail how the area has been settled from bronze/ iron age through to roman and medieval periods.

On Wednesday 29.09.21 admission was free. There is plenty to see inside and outside. Parking was free. There are many beautiful and not crowded beaches near museum so it's good to combine it into a day trip.

This is an absolute gem. Its a whole Roman city and port area that you can wander at will. When I was there in April there were almost no other people except for the lovely staff of the museum. The museum is fabulous, built to the highest standards and takes you right from the bronze age to the Christian era. Don’t miss it if you are anywhere near!

Amazing museum make sure you have enough time to explore , there is a free parking for motorhome just opposite by the beach, make sure you arrive early to get a space

Unbelievable, mind-blowing collection that’s casually but effectively curated. Not a minute or euro was wasted. Impressive.

(Translated by Google) We visited the museum on a Thursday morning. The visit lasts about half an hour. Very interesting, it shows how people once lived in just over 25 square meters and how the height development of homes was fundamental. I recommend contacting the number listed on Google via Wathsapp, because the museum is open by reservation free of charge by the cooperative. (Original) Abbiamo visitato il museo un giovedì mattina. La visita dura circa una mezz'oretta.

Cool place close to the water. Make sure to ask what they have that was caught that day. We had a fish i had never heard of or seen before as an appetizer. It was really good. Those aren't its actual eyes...I added pomegranate seeds.

The best food experience so far on our trip in Puglia !!! The Burrata and the grilled octopus can be recommended. Lovely service, we felt so welcome at this place. Thank you all at Osteria del Porto for making this lunch memorable!

Best fish restaurant in this Area I didn’t had any reservation and the restaurant was fully booked. But the waiter was so service minded to get a table for me. I eat some fresh oysters, gratinated mussels and fried fish and all was so very good and real fresh fish. To complete my diner a small dessert and I had some wine of the house and a double espresso. Only had to pay € 62,-!!!

This place was highly recommended to us by a local, and food absolutely delicious. Seafood was really fresh and so good. Service was quick, and the staff were all super friendly. Recommend booking a table in advance as it's a popular spot.

Highly recommend!!! Very very good food! Especially everything row. Risotto was like 4 out of 5, but everything else were amazing!

We came here on the recommendation of our wonderful Trullo host Marilena – and it was a spot-on choice. Apparently, her entire family has been celebrating all their special occasions here for years, and now we understand why: The food is incredibly fresh – straight from the sea – and absolutely delicious, prepared with great care and passion. The atmosphere by the harbor in Savelletri is both relaxed and cosy, and the staff is warm and attentive. We also had a lovely interaction with the waiters, who shared stories about their culture, adding even more depth to the experience. I especially loved the slogan on their t-shirts which stands for “slowly slowly”. It perfectly captured the relaxed, joyful spirit of a holiday in Italy. After all, as the saying goes: “Take a vacation in Italy – it adds years to your life.” And this evening certainly did.

We ate here for lunch and dinner and we enjoyed the food and the service. Great white wine.

The coconut prawn and guacamole starter was very, very delicious. Lasagne followed but was a little bland. Lovely atmosphere on the harbour of this beautiful fishing town.

Although the managers were welcoming our server was like the ice queen from the get go! Not sure why she treated us so coldly as we always treat servers with respect and warmth. When I asked to have my glass topped up as her pour was definitely below the norm she complained loudly and complained it meant opening a fresh bottle and stormed off. She continued to loudly complain in the kitchen area which was audible to all in the restaurant. Appalling way to treat a customer who was not being difficult or demanding. I’d never come back!

My main dish was extremely delicious! 10 out of 10 would recommend the octopus! Only bringing it down to a 4 starts because I ordered a tiramisu for dessert and it was a supermarket bought one which even came in the packaging. Not bad, but would expect a home-made one or a better presentation.

Decent food and nice setting but our server was extremely rude. Shocking way to treat paying customers. Even more shocking that management let their staff behave that way.

Food - don’t bother with the tagliolino. The prawns are from frozen and it’s not actually guincale - more a bacon lardon that was under cooked. This dish was extremely underwhelming. Got the assassina as well - this was probably the highlight of the experience - very good dish - would highlight more in the menu. Got a steamed sea bass - because it took two hours to get three dishes it was hard to rate as we were full by the time the sea bass came - overall seemed well cooked. Service - good service from the time we arrive to get a reservation, but that was about it after that we were there for two hours because it took our food forever to get, but we only saw our server about twice. There were more people working at restaurant than seated eating so we thought service should be excellent. The owner and the staff were eating inside as we waited for our food….if that isn’t telling enough I don’t know what is. Atmosphere- hard to tell with only 6 people in the restaurant

Extraordinary food! A must go!

Would come back! Amazing place for sea food. Recommend: tuna tartar, carpaccio, oriciette, tuna with pistachio crust.

This is an old-fashioned sea restaurant with a huge indoor dining area and a terrace. We booked our table, but there were not many guests on an August weekday. The waiter was very nice,although not really competent in wines. We managed to choose a good brand and we were very happy with our starters too. Unfortunately, we had to wait too long for two plates of risotto, which arrived at least 20 minutes after the other main course, so we ate in two turns. What’s more, we couldn’t finish any of these dishes due to the long wait after the starters. I think it’s a good place to try, though.

This is one of those Italian fables that you know can't be true. You know the 1 where you are served several dozen items over the course of 4 hours. Well it is true. Antipasto was 6 different kinds of fish dishes, pasta was risotto and shrimp, main was swordfish and we were smart enough to say no thanks to desserts.

We had a lovely lunch with a gorgeous view. Great food, friendly serve and reasonable prices.

It has a great view over seaside and restaurant is pretty cosy but food is not that special It is normal And I personally think it is below this restaurante class level .

The location is beautiful, although to fully enjoy the seaview the windows of the restaurant should be cleaned... we could not really see the sea. The service requires drastic improvements. The food is overpriced for what it offered. Our octopus was over salted and served cold though it was grilled, the potato puree was cold too and even though we asked for the dish to be warmed, it arrived luke warm after two tries of warming it...

We were driving by today and five of us stopped for lunch. The food was great, the view was great and the service was great. I speak enough Italian to order lunch but the waiter spoke English and was incredibly polite. The food was fresh and plentiful and it was great value. It was just a shame it was so quiet but the view was wonderful.

Fantastic antipasto Mare, great risotto mare. A bit old fashioned but great food, excellent wine selection, great views and friendly waiters.

Everything about this restaurant is wonderful! The space is gorgeous, the food is flavourful and the staff strike the perfect balance of professional yet warm. They’re attentive when you need them, but not overbearing. Really enjoyed just sitting here having a slow long lunch.

We got insanely lucky to eat at Il Cortiletto, especially without a reservation!! Everything was insanely awesome (I would not order the chicken though), from the starter taste to the last sip of primitivo wine. - mezze maniche with cauliflower & anchovies - ricotta gnocchi with crusco pepper breadcrumbs, bitter turnip greenss, & fried sweet olives - orrechiette with house meatballs, brasciole, and sauce (not pictured, i ate it too fast) -marinated Capocollo CBT (sous vide) with grape tomatoes, crispy red onion, and roasted cornaletti pepper cream [FREAKING INSANE!!! 15/10]

Visited for lunch on a hot summer’s day. The food was delicious. Loved the zucchini flan / soufflé dish, the orecchiette with tomato and meat and enjoyed the ribeye. Really nice house dry white and rose wine served along side. Highly recommended.

Beautiful little restaurant. We enjoyed our date night but ambiance could use some work- dimmer lights, way more candles and music. Food was some of the best we had in Puglia. The red pepper pasta and lamb chops were just delicious.

amazing food and service, you would never know from the exterior of the trattoria. top notch experience!

I love it !!! The pasta is so goooooood ! The service and atmosphere are both amazing. It’s an unforgettable place ♥️ I wish this place is next to my home

Tucked away in a quiet little corner, this trattoria feels warm and homey the moment you walk in. What really blew me away though was the food way better than you’d ever expect from such a modest spot. The kitchen turns out dishes that are both thoughtful and full of flavor, and you can really tell the whole team works together perfectly. There’s a kind of harmony between them that comes through on the plate. What I loved most is the creative twist in every dish, it’s not your usual, straightforward Pugliese cooking. If you want something a bit different from the classic seafood-focused menus around here, El Cortiletto is definitely worth checking out. You’ll leave pleasantly surprised and probably planning your next visit.

Went here for lunch, the location and atmosphere were great and staff were friendly. However, my grilled fish was almost too close to being raw, although still tasty, my friend’s grigliata mista was way overcooked and too salty. The “day’s special” pasta was very good, as well as the side dish of zucchini carpaccio.

We started to Osteria del Porte, only to find that they had no table available since we didn'thave a reservation. So our visit here was accidental. Street parking is available for €2 per hour, and there appears to be plenty of it. At the Fronte Mare, all tables were full, but they found a place for us on the roof. The seabreeze was a bit on the cool side, but the view was outstanding. Our server came within 10 minutes, took our order at 14:08 and delivered some of the food at 14:40 and the remaining at 14:50. As all European restaurants, dining is a hassle. Reservations are expected, even for tourists, and even for lunch. The food was warm, the presentation was nice, but the meal was less than stellar. We simply did not like the taste of anything. Might be a personal preference, but did not enjoy the food at all. Took a few bites and left the rest.

We came in before they were opened but they offered us to sit and have an apperativo while they finished opening. They were helpful with the menu, the food was great and the view on the patio was perfect. This place is a must if you’re visiting Savelletri.

My favorite restaurant in Puglia! Amazing location, great service and incredible food - simply the best!

This is a lovely restaurant by the harbour. The food was delicious but the portions were much too large so I wasted half of my salad and more than half of my pasta dish . The service and staff were lovely

We had lunch and both service and food was really good. They were very welcoming, showing us what was the daily catch also explaining how could each one of the fishes could be cooked. We needed up having a steamed white fish and two primi. Everything was cheap. We had a nice prosecco along with the lunch and ended up paying less than 25€ per person with a main and shared appetizer. Still regretting not having tried their famous Ricci/urchins as starters.

Wow, amazing sea food. We found a very helpful waiter. Delicious fresh dish and good local cold wine.
