How do I choose between the boat cruises in Polignano a Mare?

Look at duration, departure point and what is included. The speedboat cave cruise and the cruise with swim and cave exploration both run around an hour and a half to two hours and include an aperitif, while the Monopoli departure suits anyone staying in that town. Longer cruises with drinks, music and swimming give you more time in the water.

Are there things to do in Polignano a Mare beyond boat trips?

Yes. The Apulian cooking class with food and drinks and the pasta and focaccia masterclass with wine are both rated 4.8 or higher and take about two hours, making them easy to fit around a beach afternoon or an evening in the old town.

About Polignano a Mare

Polignano a Mare clings to limestone cliffs above the Adriatic, its whitewashed old town hiding sea caves, a famous beach cove and balconies suspended over the water. The best way to grasp that drama is from the sea, on a Polignano a Mare: Speedboat Cruise to the Caves with Aperitif or the Polignano a Mare: Cruise Trip, Swim & Cave Exploration with Aperitif, both rated 4.8. Back on land, the town's kitchens open up too, with hands-on cooking sessions that turn Puglian pasta and focaccia into the souvenir you actually keep.

Frequently asked questions

Summer boat cruises and cooking classes fill up fastest, so book several days ahead for July and August, and at least a week ahead if you want a specific departure time. Spring and early autumn are quieter and still warm enough for swimming stops, and you can often book just a day or two in advance.
