How do I choose between boat tours and food experiences?

If you love the sea, pick a boat tour: options range from a quick 30-minute gozzo ride to a 3-hour cruise with swimming and an aperitif. For a taste of Apulia, choose a pasta-making class or a wine tasting. Consider your time and interests—both are great ways to experience the coast and local culture.

Are there any must-try experiences for first-time visitors?

First-timers often enjoy the Polignano Sea Caves Boat Tour for its mix of snorkeling and Prosecco, or the E-bike Tour from Monopoli to St. Andrew's Rocky Village for a blend of nature and history. Both are highly rated and offer a memorable introduction to the area.

Frequently asked questions

Book at least a few days ahead in summer (June–September) when boat tours and food classes fill up quickly. For more flexibility, book early morning slots to beat the heat and crowds. Many experiences offer free cancellation, so you can reserve now and adjust later if plans change.
