About Polignano a Mare
Polignano a Mare's whitewashed old town, perched on limestone cliffs above the Adriatic, is a natural starting point for exploring Apulia's layered past — from prehistoric cave settlements to Norman and Aragonese traces. Day trips from here reach the UNESCO-listed trulli of Alberobello and the rock-hewn sassi of Matera, as on the Ostuni, Alberobello & Polignano Tour from Lecce, rated 5.0 by past travellers, or the Private Apulia Tour: Matera, Polignano, Alberobello, Locorotondo, which strings together four historic towns in a single day.
