About Taranto
Taranto rewards a first visit with something rare: a city wrapped around two seas, where Greek ruins, a working fishing port and a handsome 19th-century grid sit side by side. Get your bearings quickly with the Private Ape Calessino Tour of Taranto: See the City of Two Seas in an Hour, a nimble ride through the old town and the Borgo Umbertino, or slow down on the water with the Taranto: Boat Tour through History and Mar Piccolo + Swim at Cheradi Islands, which pairs the city's story with a swim off the Cheradi islands.
