About Taranto
Taranto sits on a rare double basin — the sheltered Mar Piccolo and the open Mar Grande — so a boat trip here moves between mussel farms, history and the Ionian Sea in a single outing. A private charter such as the Taranto Boat Charter: Explore Mar Piccolo and Mar Grande lets you drift between both waters, while the Taranto: Boat Tour through History and Mar Piccolo + Swim at Cheradi Islands pairs the old town's waterfront with a swim stop off the Cheradi Islands.

Frequently asked questions
Taranto is built around two connected seas: the enclosed Mar Piccolo, known for its mussel beds and the swing bridge over the navigable channel, and the open Mar Grande facing the Cheradi Islands. Cruises here often cover both in one route, mixing sheltered lagoon scenery with a swim stop in the Ionian Sea, which few single-bay destinations can.
