Adriatic dawn, a painted wooden boat, and an 80-year-old fisherman who's been doing this since he was 8.

๐Ÿ’ก Puglia's fishing villages (Gallipoli, Monopoli, Trani) are as beautiful as the Amalfi Coast with 10% of the tourists.

The experience

Small-boat trips from Gallipoli, Otranto, Polignano a Mare, Trani. Line fishing and net fishing for sea bream, mullet, octopus, squid. The fisherman narrates in a mix of Italian and Puglian dialect. You pull in nets or hold lines. The catch goes directly to a beachside kitchen or the fisherman's home, where his wife cooks it into crudo (raw), fritto (fried), and zuppa (stew). This is not a tourist activity โ€” it's a working fisherman sharing his morning with guests.
