Monopoli also boasts a local beach called “Cala Porta Vecchia” which is on the edge of the historical city walls.

The dramatic cliffs of Polignano a Mare are featured in many a film and the historical centre has tourists flocking in their droves to see the various little streets covered in poetry on the walls. Located a short train ride away from Monopoli it makes for an excellent day trip!

Alberobello
