We are in Puglia, in Gargano, off the Adriatic coast. in the archipelago so beloved by the artist Lucio Dalla "How deep is the sea....:" There must be a reason why the artist Lucio Dalla composed some of his most famous songs on these islands. The Tremiti Islands are still one of the most beautiful places in Italy. Little known by the people of Puglia themselves here you find a deep crystal sea with shades of blue and green that surprise you with every dive. I enjoyed the most beautiful sea of the Tremiti by renting a tender, by stopping at the most magical places, snorkeling, exploring the caves. There are so many of them, whose depths give you unimaginable vegetation and undersea rocks that are even more beautiful than what is visible on the surface.

The Tremiti Islands belong to the Province of Foggia, in the Region of Puglia They are an archipelago of extraordinary beauty located in the heart of the Adriatic Sea. The total size is about 3 sq. km. It consists of two inhabited islands: San Nicola and San Domino and three uninhabited Capraia (also called Caprara or Capperaia), Pianosa and Cretaccio. The Tremiti Islands municipality has about 500 inhabitants, is part of the Gargano National Park and is a Marine Nature Reserve. Populated, on the other hand, are the seabed, where you can find everything from groupers to moray eels, octopuses to giant mullet, sea bream to amberjack, colonies of red, yellow and black gorgonians. Here you can enjoy boat trips, snorkeling and many other outdoor activities. If you love the sea, you are in the right place. The archipelago is not at all fashionable, it is stuck in the 1980s although lately there are many open construction sites and renovation works to make the islands more usable for everyone, thanks also to the mega funding obtained from the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Perhaps for this very reason, it remains unspoiled and boasts crystal clear waters.

The approximate cost is 50 euros (air taxes and VAT included) in high season (July - August), 25 euros the rest of the year. But what are the 10 must-do things in the Tremiti Islands? I love the Tremiti Islands and have included them in my top list of the most beautiful places in the world. For some people it is just a day trip. Here the sea is amazing. For me at least three to four days by boat is a regular stop I love to make every summer of my life. There are so many bays and caves to discover, which characterize it and make it unique, and they are always beautiful to see again. The best of an island in my opinion is only experienced by staying there to sleep, when the hustle and bustle goes away. I have been there 5 times and for a more intimate experience I preferred to stay the last time on San Nicola Island, which of the two inhabited islands is definitely the smaller. Discovering caves, especially underground caves During the day you go to the sea. By boat/dug boat is the best way to discover and explore the area looking for the coves inaccessible from land. Besides the well-known ones, Grotta del Sale, Grotta delle Viole, Grotta dell'Elefante, and Grotta delle Rondinelle that you can see in this updated INFOTREMITI site, there are many coves you will fall in love with; Drop anchor and relax exactly as soon as it happens. The underwater one is an experience not to be missed for anything in the world while vacationing in the Tremiti Islands. With the dinghy, anything seems possible: sleeping, swimming, snorkeling and feeling on a deserted island while appreciating the silence SLEEPING ON THE ISLAND OF SAN DOMINO OR SAN NICOLA? San Domino is the largest and most touristic island, so if you love going out in the evening, you will have bars and piano bars available here. The atmosphere is 80s style. Choose San Nicola if you love the quiet life and silence and especially if you like the idea of having an experience in contact with the islanders. In the years since I have been visiting the Tremiti Islands, I have stayed on both islands with different solutions. Follow your instincts and choose according to your mood of the moment. We stayed in San Nicola in Antonio's small apartments. Minimal but basic apartments with refrigerator and mini kitchen (it is not the comfort island even if you go to Hotel) but we had a great time. It feels like staying with a family. This island is perfect for those who like authenticity with no glitz, If you want to live in a medieval setting, with no evening events but just the sound of the sea or chatting with neighbors disconnecting with the world and reconnecting with yourself and nature, you are in the right place. Contact him by emailing him on my behalf antoniotremiti65@gmail.com On where to sleep I have made contacts on the spot, which is the easiest way to find accommodation, or I recommend you check out this brochure dedicated to the Tremiti Islands TUTTOINTASCA.IT In the past, I have also stayed in San Domino at the BB LE RONDINELLE . Minimal rooms here, too, but completely surrounded by pine forest and vegetation. Excellent international breakfast. A nice option if you go in a group. In the past I have also stayed at 'Hotel Kyrie a few meters from Cala Tramontana, which can be reached on foot via a footpath. The only time I have stayed on this island only for 1 night, with my sister, it was sold out and very expensive. Read Best of GARGANO RENT A RAFT We rented an inflatable boat in St. Nicholas with IN GOMMONE CON SIMONE However, there are many companies that offer you rentals or excursions, located directly on the pier, in both Islands. They cartel among themselves. Therefore unless you go in low season, no one gives discounts. The rental price varies depending on the season, on average you pay 80 euros for the whole day (until 6 p.m.) in low season while 120 euros in high season. The island is small and all activities are seasonal and familiar. Simone for example in the daytime sea entrepreneur, in the evening chef indeed "Master Chef" in his mother's restaurant DA ENRICHETTA seafood restaurant also in St. Nicholas, in my opinion the best on the island from all points of view.. DINING TO SAN NICOLA As soon as you book your lodging on these islands, immediately reserve a table for dinner hoping to find at least one available in the 30-seat pastry restaurant DA ENRICHETTA at the foot of the Abbey.. Genuine but top-notch restaurant has maintained its simplicity despite a menu of the highest standards and sophistication. Family-run. As soon as you arrive Enrichetta immediately tells you the catch of the day that the sea offers, the price, and how she can cook it for you. She suggested scampi to us, and we had them in a sauce with spaghetti alla chitarra. Go there. Enrichetta is the pastry chef, and she has a dessert menu worthy of a star: try the Neapolitan pastiera and cheesecake. Enrichetta's father helps at the tables and Simone in the kitchen. The fried cod simply melted in the mouth. In San Nicola you can also eat very well at the ristorante Architiello da Carolina restaurant known for the quality of the excellently processed raw material, try and I guarantee you will not regret it, their classic but very tasty spaghetti with clams, a dish that is never missing from the menu and is the ultimate scarpetta. Full details for purchasing tickets with NAVITREMITI can be found here TAKE THE CAB BOAT BETWEEN THE ISLANDS AT LEAST ONCE For travel from San Nicola to San Domino and back depending on where you sleep and if you want to do some nightlife there is this very convenient service. They are only 450 m apart and are connected all day long by cab boats (from 6 € A/R during the day and 10 € A/R during the evening - From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. the cab runs every hour. In the evening it is served at 7 to 8 p.m. and at 11 p.m. last ride) - COOPERATIVE A.MAR.BLU (Maritime Agency) Water Taxi Service - St. Nicholas Island - tel. 0882 834487 - Cell.360/373527 348/0166961/60 ADMIRE THE BEAUTIFUL SUNSET AT SEA From the highest point of the Abbey of St. Nicholas EXPERIENCE A DAY ON THE FISHING BOAT WITH A COOK ON BOARD My first time in the Tremiti was with my sister Federica, and the following year, I returned with office colleagues. We decided with my sister to spend a whole day aboard a fishing boat with the cook on board. A surreal and fantastic experience to say the least. It was in 2019 The following year I returned with colleagues and wanted to repeat the experience with them as well. On the fishing boats (which you can catch from the San Domino pier) you can both sunbathe and enjoy the bounty of seafood, cooked directly on board. The formula on the fishing boats where I had the pleasure of having this experience is more or less similar. Mega table set for lunch with appetizer of bruschetta, urchins and fresh fish, mussels. First course pasta with fish and mussels and seafood, second course catch of the day. In between white wine, seafood lunch and tours among the most beautiful coves in the archipelago, we enjoyed the day in the company of perfect strangers. And yes, In the boat there are about 15 places available. The first time there were 2 of us, me and my sister. The second time with colleagues we were 5. In both cases we joined in. I recommend it to do at least once. SHOPPING AT CONVENIENCE STORES ON THE ISLAND Alle Isole tremiti è abitudine fare il pranzo a sacco da portare in barca o al mare sugli scogli. Ci sono alcuni market interessanti, piccoli ma forniti dell'essenziale - Market Fentini - trovate tutto per una buona spesa - Minimarket Shop 88 (bazar e market essenziale) SNORKELING NEAR THE SUBMERGED STATUE OF FATHER PIO I had not brought the Go Pro, however, I assure you the excitement was great when I saw it with the mask on! I borrowed this picture from colleagues. With her arms outstretched and looking skyward: this is the image I found underwater when I caught sight of the famous Padre Pio statue in the Tremiti Islands. It was not so easy to spot it. Then diving in with mask and tube we made it. The sculpture, made by Foggia-based sculptor Mimmo Norcia, was laid on a concrete base in the seabed of the island on Oct. 3, 1998, between Caprara and the Tremiti Island of San Nicola. It lies 13 m deep and was cleaned of fouling and algae in 2016 to restore its splendor. You immediately understand where it is because there is a cluster of boats nearby and people diving in hopes that the water is not murky. It is surreal to see numerous small fish swimming around it, almost as if they want to keep company with the Pugs' most beloved saint The statue is truly imposing and striking: about 3 meters high, weighing 12.25 quintals of bronze, plus 110 quintals of base, with arms outstretched and looking skyward, as if inviting swimmers to join him for a fleeting greeting. SEA BAPTISM OR DIVING WHEREAS, I snorkel which I am a big fan of (with mask, tube and fins) but I have never dived as I am a big wimp. However, it is one of the most popular activities to do in the Tremiti Islands because of its fantastic seabed to say the least. I would like to point out the possibility of taking courses to get certified or simply approach the seabed with the wonderful BAPTISM OF THE SEA (at a cost of 80 euros) with AQUO DIVING . The baptism of the sea consists of a 40-minute dive completely attached to an experienced instructor who helps you with your breathing preventing any possible panic attacks. In San Domino there is also a DIVING CENTER the formula is the same for them as well. Always better to save this number too, in high season everything is always full EXPLORING THE ISLAND OF SAN DOMINO: WALKING, BIKING, HIKING San Domino is the largest island in the archipelago and the one with the most amenities for tourists. It is also the most important island, entirely covered with Mediterranean scrub, has only one sandy beach, Cala delle Arene (25 euros the location with 2 sunbeds and an umbrella) behind the harbor. Here are some of the island's most beautiful rocky coves that can also be reached via a marked hiking trail (for enthusiasts). Appena arrivi al porto di San Domino, la salita per raggiungere il centro dell'isola è amara Hai due chance. Pagare 5 euro per un transfer che ti porta fino al centro dell'isola (scelta consigliata se hai bagagli e figli) Fare la breve salita a piedi, tosta ma fattibile, dopo 15o mt diventa pianeggiante e regala una vista mozzafiato A San Domino ci sono 5 hotel (Hotel Levante, Hotel La tramontana, Hotel Le Viole, Hotel Eden, Hotel Kyrie, Albergo La Pineta) e molteplici appartamenti o affittacamere o alloggi, modalità di abitazione per la vacanza più diffusa e utilizzata dai turisti dell'isola. Ci sono in questa isola diversi ristoranti, ma anche localini o baretti. C'è anche una bar che funge da discoteca per chi è alla ricerca di una vita notturna (La Fenice e A Furmicula). Segnalo tra quelli provati: - Capatosta - Ottimi Burger e Gin list, provate il London Dry con gin fatto da loro ai capperi - L'altro Faro - consigliatissimo anche dagli isolani, il pesce è protagonista di questo posto - La Fenice - Ottimo per cena ma anche per l'aperitivo. Provate lo "Scialatiello" - Da Elio Fish Bar - Qui spopola il finocchietto tremitese. Ambiente molto friendly. Menù a base di pesce. Se riuscite assaggiate la lasagna ai frutti di mare. Di giorno l’isola offre panorami unici con splendide cale e grotte: non perdete la cala delle Arene, Cala Matano, dove é ubicata la villa dell'artista Lucio Dalla che da qualche mese é affittabile. Cala Spido - noi siamo arrivati in gommone è stupenda (cornice ricca di vegetazione in cui ho fatto il primo bagno) Cala degli Inglesi, Cala Tamariello. San Domino è anche ricca di grotte come quella del Bue Marino, delle Viole o delle Rondinelle o Grotta e Cala dell'Elefante e Grotta Architiello Una delle mie preferite è la Spiaggia dei Pagliai - da questo link potete vedere i video che ho fatto su questa Isola Itinerari di trekking a San Domino La macchia mediterranea ed i pini di Aleppo sono i protagonisti della vegetazione dell’isola. A San Domino se siete dei camminatori ed il caldo non vi fa paura, ci sono diversi percorsi di trekking, qualcuno l'ho praticato, altri li ho scoperti chiedendo informazioni ai locali. Tutti portano al faro, ma da diverse direzioni. Faro di San Domino Si parte da un piccolo villaggio rurale nel centro dell'isola composto da abitazioni modeste in stile coloniale. Da qui dipartono 3 strade, quella centrale è indicata come “la strada della pineta”, conduce in mezzo alla foresta, dapprima in salita fino alla Cappella del Romito e poi in discesa fino al faro. Il percorso di Ponente Da questo percorso passando per la pineta incontrate: Cala degli inglesi, Cala dei Benedettini, Punta Secca, la Grotta del Bue Marino e poi potete arrivare al faro seguendo un percorso costiero segnalato Il percorso di Levante Questo itinerario si sviluppa sulla costa di levante e vi condurrà prima alla Grotta del Sale, poi alla Grotta delle Viole, Punta di Ponente, la Grotta delle Murene e poi dritti al faro. Indossate scarpe DA TREKKING e portate con voi acqua, cibo e frutta, lungo il percorso non c sono punti di ristoro. FARE UNA FOTO DALLA FINESTRA CHE DOMINA L'ISOLA DI SAN NICOLA La quinta volta alle tremiti ho soggiornato nell'isola di San Nicola. E' il luogo in cui ho respirato la storia delle Isole Tremiti. Quando ci arrivi, la salita dal porto per arrivare nel borgo abitabile, è amara. Ripida con una pavimentazione. Rifarla al contrario rischia di essere scivolosa. Scomoda, ma l'impresa vale tutta la difficolta. La più tosta è la prima salita dopo di che indossando le sneakers tutto diventa più facile. Qui c'è la Fortezza e l’Abbazia di Santa Maria a Mare. (oggi un cantiere aperto per via dei finanziamenti ricevuti dal ministero dei beni culturali) Prima della fortezza, una finestra che domina l'isola, tappa obbligatoria per una foto. Queste sono le attrazioni principali oltre al Torrione del cavaliere del Crocifisso e la misteriosa tomba di Diomede su cui sono sorte tante leggende. Da qui ho potuto ammirare alcuni dei tramonti più belli . Non mancano le cale e le bellezze regalate dal mare, ma in nessun altro angolo delle Isole Tremiti potrete godere del panorama unico che si staglia davanti ai vostri occhi salendo alla Fortezza.

9 km in seven hours for a trek along one of the most characteristic stretches of our coastline as well as a visit to the Fiord of Furore a UNESCO site since 1997, Amalfi and Ravello The name “ Path of the Gods” is enough to give you a sense of the spectacular nature of the path itself. If you think that a trail of only 9 kilometers is too long, you will be surprised to discover that it is beautiful, and also accessible to “almost everyone.” I say “almost” because it is a trek characterized by climbs and downhills, rocks and nature, where it is essential to wear comfortable clothing. I have been to the Amalfi Coast and if you decide to take this route as I did, you will experience the adventure of discovering a new face of this area, often associated with luxury vacations and exorbitant prices. In my column "A portata di Manu" I offer you ideas, experiences and itineraries as well as things to do if you come to these parts whether you are a foreign visitor or a tourist at home. In the article (next to each experience) are all the references for booking tickets or excursions or guided tours in the area . DEPARTURE FROM BOMERANO OF AGEROLA The walking time varies from each person. On average it takes 7h to get to the end where, I guarantee, you will arrive with pains in your legs. We drove from Bari to Bomerano di Agerola, a charming village located inland on the Amalfi Coast. It is one of Agerola's most enchanting villages. This little corner of paradise offers an authentic immersion in the traditions, culture and unspoiled nature of the region. Bomerano by the way is known by trekking lovers for being the starting point of this famous Sentiero degli Dei, We parked our car on the white stripes and started walking towards Nocelle a suburb of Positano where the path ends. It is important to walk along this path in the direction that goes precisely from Agerola to Nocelle so as to walk on a slight descent and have the view of the Amalfi Coast and Capri in front of you. The path goes between the Amalfi and Sorrento Coasts and is considered among the most beautiful in the world. Along the way you will be surprised at every glimpse. At the end of each rising path is the sea overlooking with its deep blue waters and the beautiful views of the Amalfi Coast, Capri and its stacks. Getting to the destination I guarantee you is challenging. This is not a Sunday walking, it is a serious trek for people with a minimum of basic training or enthusiastic walkers who are used to physical activity. When I arrived to Nocelle, this small suburb of Positano on Mount Pertuso I was hungry and tired but despite my tiredness I thought I had done something crazy and that the Path of the Gods was a breathtaking itinerary in which the coastline had revealed to me its natural wonders, cultural treasures and unique experiences. ARRIVAL IN NOCELLE But once you arrive at the quiet and lonely suburb of Nocelle, with its only 150 inhabitants, you can continue on and reach the center of Positano, via a long stairway of 1,700 steps, continuing another 500 meters on foot. Or you can take a bus at the Sita bus stop. I experienced it as torture for my knees, legs and feet, which, however, I faced until the end. The route is marked by red and white signs with the word 02.. PATH OF THE GODS: HOW TO REACH IT We arrived by Car from Bari. 3H and a half for almost 300 km, Adriatic Highway A14 BY BUS To reach Bomerano of Agerola there are Sita buses that leave from Amalfi, ask the driver to direct you to the Bomerano stop. From there follow the road signs that will take you to the trailhead. To return Bomerano di Agerola (if you left your car in Amalfi or Bomerano di Agerola) from the small port of Positano, you can take the ferry to Amalfi (20 minutes) there are ferries every half hour and from Amalfi go to the Sita bus station to have the bus take you back to Agerola if you parked your carli. Along summer months there is a servizio di navette Amalfi - Agerola offerto dalla Travelmar, la compagnia dei traghetti, che offre questo tipo di servizio ai suoi clienti. Orari dei Traghetti Orari degli autobus THE PATH OF THE GODS: HIGH PATH OR LOW PATH? The Path of the Gods can be walked in various ways. There are two paths that you can choose: there is the “high” path that goes from Bomerano and ends in Santa Maria Del Castello: it is more difficult because you go up and continue in height. The low path from Bomerano leads to Nocelle and you walk downhill for stretches, which is why it is chosen by many tourists. INFORMAZIONI UTILI SUL SENTIERO DEGLI DEI Il Sentiero degli Dei è una meraviglia gratuita che mi ha lasciato senza fiato per la sua bellezza. Questa avventura, che abbiamo vissuto in tre, ci ha portato attraverso i pittoreschi villaggi di Nocelle e Montepertuso. Partendo da Bomerano, il sentiero ci ha regalato panorami spettacolari su montagne e mare. Lungo il percorso, è stato bello essere circondati da uliveti, agrumeti e boschi di castagni, oltre che da una vegetazione rigogliosa e viste mozzafiato sul Golfo di Salerno che hanno reso questa esperienza indimenticabile. Questi piccoli comuni perfetti per i camminatori, ci hanno offerto un'ospitalità autentica e calorosa, ideale per immergerci nella cultura locale. Abbiamo scelto di soggiornare in un agriturismo Casale Paradiso proprio ad Agerola, un pò defilato che ci ha colpito perchè la sala da pranzo/cena é all'interno di un giardino con pergolato di kiwi. L'idea era proprio quella di vivere questa esperienza autentica, soprattutto a tavola, mangiando piatti tipici e con scarpetta scarpetta finale nel sugo. Teresa la nonna, ci ha accolto assieme a tutta la sua famiglia, la gestione qui è familiare. Hanno fondato qualche anno fa l'agriturismo oggi gestito dal figlio maggiore Carmine. Ci ha confidato che nel 2022 era stata notata da Denzel Washington  passando sotti i portici di Atrani mentre giravano Equalizer 3 in Costiera Amalfitana, e fu ingaggiata per un ruolo nel film che l'ha resa celebre. UN BAGNO NELLE ACQUE DEL FIORDO DI FURORE Immaginate un angolo di Norvegia scolpito nelle rocce del Mediterraneo: questo è il Fiordo di Furore.  Situato sempre nella Costiera Amalfitana, poco distante da Bomerano, questa profonda fenditura nei Monti Lattari è un tesoro nascosto che dal 1997 è stato riconosciuto come Patrimonio dell’Umanità dall’UNESCO.  Il Borgo di Furore (da cui prende nome la frazione) fa parte del prestigioso Club dei borghi più belli d’Italia si trova a 300 metri sopra il livello del mare, nella parte superiore del suggestivo Vallone di Furore. Una visita qui è un'immersione nella bellezza naturale e storica di uno dei luoghi più affascinanti d'Italia. E poi fermatevi a pranzo da La Locanda del Fiordo trattoria tipica, con vista e pesce freschissimo. Prenotate con largo anticipo. E' dotata anche di stanze con Jacuzzi a vista mare, ma vanno a ruba infatti non sono ancora riuscita a trovare un fine settimana libero per poterci tornare. VISITA A VILLA CIMBRONE A RAVELLO Devo ammetterlo, sono arrivata a Ravello senza sapere molto su cosa vedere, guidata solo da alcune foto mozzafiato viste sui social. Villa Cimbrone è uno di quei luoghi che sembrano usciti da un sogno: i visitatori possono esplorare solo i giardini, a meno che non soggiornano nell'elegante Hotel Villa Cimbrone.  Anche se avevamo l'auto, abbiamo raggiunto Ravello con un autobus della Sita. Incamminatevi lungo il Viale dell'Immenso, incorniciato da un pergolato di wisteria che è un tipo di glicine, fino a raggiungere la leggendaria Terrazza dell'Infinito. La vista è da togliere il fiato motivo per il quale ho scattato foto e video da condividere con voi. Come arrivare. Consultate il sito della SITA per dettagli su orari e percorsi, in autobus, partendo dalla fermata degli autobus ad Amalfi, dalla quale partono la maggior parte delle corse per Ravello. L'ingresso costa 7 euro per gli adulti, con riduzioni per i bambini, e all'entrata vi verrà consegnata una mappa per guidarvi durante la visita. COLAZIONE DA "SAL DE RISO" Sognavo di mangiare il suo babbà alla crema da prima di andare in Costiera Amalfitana. Salvatore De Riso è probabilmente il pasticciere più famoso d'Italia. È sua la geniale creazione della torta ricotta e pere con biscotto alle nocciole, un dolce il cui successo ha superato i confini nazionali. Si trova a Minori (raggiungibile sempre in autobus da Amalfi). Questa pasticceria è un vero e proprio tempio del gusto. Spaziosa e affascinante, offre una vasta gamma di delizie: torte e monoporzioni, gelati, caffè, pizze, oltre a un bistrot e un'area per aperitivi. Qui tutti i contatti APERITIVO A POSITANO Cosa fare a Positano se non un aperitivo! Ovviamente in terrazza e con vista o sulla spiaggia. Fateli entrambi. A noi è piaciuta l'idea di ammirare lo scenario mozzafiato con vista sul mare e sulle iconiche case colorate della città. Positano è il posto sicuramente più particolare della Costiera Amalfitana, non potete andare via senza aver visitato il suo centro storico, piccolino ma molto caratteristico, percorribile esclusivamente a piedi.

We often underestimate the beauty and attractions of our own Region, accustomed to seeing them every day. Polignano is one of those tourist attractions NOT TO BE MISSED in this wonderful land. Cross and delight of this city is parking. Trains are the best means of transportation for environmental sustainability By the way, Polignano, if you are on the coast is well connected with TRENITALIA Otherwise I point out these parking area if you prefer to come by car - Via Basile - (upstream side) Entering from Polignano Sud, coming from Monopoli, on the left side of the roadway you will see an ESSO gas station, skirting it after 100 mt you can see the parking lot. - Marco Polo - (sea side) near the Pino Pascali Foundation) From this parking lot in 5 minutes walk you reach the center of Polignano allowing you to enjoy the view of the Scoglio dell'Eremita. This parking lot is equipped with public toilets for every need. - San Francesco, in the heart of Polignano, you arrive from the exit of the SS16 Polignano/Conversano WHAT ARE THE 10 MUST-DO THINGS IN POLIGNANO A MARE? Tour among the balconies of the historic center (Foto, fonte Web) In the historic center of Polignano, it is possible to stroll while looking at the sea, thanks to Polignano's spectacular balconies: all the streets of the historic center overlook loggias overlooking the sea. The tuor starts from the central square, Piazza Vittorio Emanuele or Piazza San Benedetto. The most famous balcony in Polignano is the one overlooking Lama Monachile. My favorite is this one in photo Balconata Terrazza Santo Stefano, This walk is ideal if you want to visit Polignano on foot. Taking a photo in Lama Monachile (Foto, fonte Web) The Lama Monachile is one of the most popular places in Polignano a Mare. The most photographed cliff on social media. It is formed by two rock walls overhanging the sea with a small inlet in the middle. According to tradition it would seem that the term "monachile" comes from the fact that there were once numerous monk seals here. Now world famous, it hosts the world's most famous diving championship the Red Bull Cliff Diving Singing VOLARE under the statue of Domenico Modugno (Foto, fonte Web) Domenico Modugno is considered the father of Italian singer-songwriters and as a performing author is among the greatest in Europe. He was born on January 9, 1928, in Polignano a Mare, The statue dedicated to this singer was created by Argentine sculptor Hermann Mejer, which depicts him with his arms wide open as if to embrace his hometown. Time after time it has become a pilgrimage destination for those who wish to take a souvenir photo with their arms outstretched like him, singing his famous song "Volare". The statue has been placed so that his back is not to the sea or the town Seeing an exhibition at the Pino Pascali Foundation (Foto, fonte Web) The Fondazione Pino Pascali is located in Polignano a Mare and is the only museum dedicated to Contemporary Art in Puglia. I recommend you keep the museum's website handy so you don't miss some unique exhibitions. Meanwhile, if you want to visit it inside you will find some works by Pino Pascali, including the wonderful "bristle worms." Boat tours among sea caves One thing to do in Polignano a Mare is definitely a tour of the sea caves. The whole coastline is full of them and some of them are really characteristic and enchanting. This is the case of Grotta Ardito, or the Blue Grotto or the Grotta delle monache or the enchanting Grotta Palazzese from which the restaurant of the same name takes its name, and the romantic Grotta dei Fidanzati, which can only be reached by swimming. Booking a boat tour in Polignano a mare is very easy I suggest some of them as DORINO ask for Nicola or Escursioni Sofia . Admiring Peppino Campanella's workshop, overlooking the cliff overlooking the sea Glass objects are real sculptures, come to life in this atelier-workshop located in an old oil mill. He himself calls his workshop a "wunderkammer," a chamber of wonders. I dream of furnishing my home with one of his desk lamps. Peppino welcomes everyone to his workshop. equipped with a spectacular terrace overlooking the sea. One of Polignano a Mare's most striking landscapes. This terrace is the stage for private events especially during the summer, such as the highly anticipated and exclusive post-festival events of "Il Libro Possibile." This terrace turns on those days into a magical place where your dreams can come true and life-changing encounters can happen, but only if you are on the Guest List or you "grab" the invitation to enter! Drinking the special coffee Drinking the special coffee is a Must- do. A coffee that was invented in Polignano by Mr. Frost Wizard, Mario Campanella, which then became the typical local drink. Coffee, sugar, lemon zest, cream and amaretto: 5 magical ingredients that give life to a coffee served lukewarm in glass cups. I suggest you go and try it in the very central café in front of the arch of Polignano where precisely it was invented Il Super Mago del Gelo Taking a dive from the cliff of "Il Grottone" (Foto, fonte Web) Favorite place for Polignanesi to go to the sea in summer. The waters are crystal clear. Polignanesi consider it the most beautiful spot in the world for swimming in the sea. However to dive, other current of Polignanesi choose Cala Port'alga, counted among the most striking coves in the area or Cala Paura, ideal for children, with pebbles, located within the characteristic fishermen's port. If you are looking for sand and do not want to give up comfort, I suggest the Spiaggia di San Giovanni (equipped beach with front row seats on the shoreline) or the wild but beautiful Spiaggia di San Vito. Attend at least one of the coolest summer events: THE POSSIBLE BOOK, REDBULL CLIFF DIVING, WONDERFUL MODUGNO Pictured on the trampoline is me. Polignano is also famous because it hosts a stage of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, international diving competition. The next edition will take place on July 1-2, 2023. To give you an idea of what happens on this occasion, take a look at this spectacular dive tuffo del campione Alessandro De Rose IL LIBRO POSSIBILE anything is possible during this week such as crossing famous and celebrated authors on the street that we are usually used to seeing on TV. Visit SAN VITO ABBAZIA and have lunch in a small restaurant by the sea. (Foto, fonte Web) San Vito Abbazia is the main artistic attraction of this small village named after Polignano's patron saint. It is located 3 km from the town of Polignano a Mare, and is known for its quaint little port and the imposing San Vito Abbazia a monastery built on the ruins of a Greek city. After visiting the foot of the Abbey La veranda da Giselda has become an ideal pop destination and restaurant in which to drink good vito rosé accompanied by a fried seafood or spaghetti with seafood.
