Bari to Polignano a Mare — 35 minutes to the most photogenic cliff in Puglia

The photo: turquoise cove between white limestone cliffs, town perched on top. That's Polignano. Domenico Modugno (Mr. "Volare") was born here — looking at that view, you understand why he wanted to fly.

Bari Centrale → Polignano a Mare. No booking. Station 10 min walk from old town and cliff viewpoints.

💡 Pro tip: Walk to Lama Monachile for the cliff view, but book a boat tour of the sea caves (€25, 1h) instead of fighting for the rocky beach. Lunch: try Pescaria for raw seafood tasting.
