About Polignano a Mare
Polignano a Mare is a town built for walking: whitewashed lanes tumble over limestone cliffs above the Adriatic, and every alley carries layers of Greek, Roman and medieval history. A guided walk through the historic centre is the best way to read those layers, and the Polignano a Mare: Guided Walking Tour of the Alleys, the Sea and Domenico Modugno ties the town's story to its most famous son. If you want to push further into Apulia's past, the Matera & Alberobello: UNESCO Tour with Local Guide from Bari, Monopoli, Polignano takes you to two UNESCO sites in a single day.

Frequently asked questions
Polignano's historic centre is a compact maze of whitewashed houses, Roman-era traces and cliffside viewpoints that are easy to walk past without context. A local guide explains the town's Greek and Roman roots, its medieval defences and its fishing heritage, and connects the streets to figures like Domenico Modugno.
