Where to go
Lama Monachile
Polignano a Mare – where spectacular cliffs meet the azure sea. Famous as the backdrop for the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, this coastal gem captivates visitors from around the globe. Between dramatic rock formations and crystal-clear waters lies a destination made for wonder and relaxation. Discover Lama Monachile – a paradise for swimming, snorkeling, and thrill-seekers.
Cala Sala Portacola (Portalga)
If you're looking for a peaceful swim or a walk along part of the pilgrim's path, head toward Portalga. Few people, and mostly locals, swim and sunbathe here. You can reach this spot via a dirt road or a climb and descent along the pilgrim's path, which is accessed by crossing the fence at the stadium parking lot (it's permitted). Here and there, you'll find a red and white flag painted on the rocks to indicate the direction. Have fun!
San Vito
This is a former monastery. It is located directly on a small bay with small fishing boats. It's a pleasant day trip destination that can be reached on foot (about an hour) or by Ape (Via S. Vito, 70044 Polignano a Mare). Directly in front of the monastery is a small restaurant where you can enjoy a refreshment before heading back after enjoying the stunning sea view.
