Historic Center

Polignano a Mare's Historic Centre will make you feel like you've tumbled into a medieval fairy tale perched on dramatic white cliffs. Ancient limestone buildings cling to rocky outcrops while narrow pedestrian-only lanes wind between charming piazzas and hidden viewpoints.

Family-run trattorias serve fresh seafood in cave-like settings carved right into the cliffs. Boutique hotels and luxury B&Bs occupy restored stone buildings with sea-view terraces.
