Polignano is a pearl, positioned on a steep sea cliff dotted with grottos and history along the splendid Adriatic coast of Puglia.
Its origins are ancient and connected to the Greek City of Neapolis (IV Century BC), which then became known as Polisnea and Polineanum. Today’s Polignano a Mare rightly belongs among the most popular touristic metas of Puglia, thanks to its rather particular coastal reef feature, along which open natural grottos, and also to numerous monuments and buildings of historical and cultural interest conserved in its centre. Polignano is also famous throughout the world for cliff diving. Walking through the historical centre made up of white stone paved alleyways, Medieval glimpses with Adriatic sea views and delightful traditional restaurants, is a experience which makes a visit to Polignano a Mare worthwhile.
