Italy certainly isn’t short of stunning coastal towns, but Polignano a Mare still stands out as one of the most beautiful. From the dramatic cliffside views over the Adriatic Sea to the cute pebble beach, nestled between the cliffs, this is one of the most picturesque spots in Italy. While there are plenty of things that are must-dos while in Polignano a Mare – try to get a table at Grotta Palazzese, a cave that has been turned into a restaurant – one of the best activities is a boat tour. Here are three of the best in Polignano a Mare.
Polignano a Mare: Boat Cruise to Scenic Caves with Prosecco

There is also time during the 1.5 hour trip for a spot of sunbathing – this really is the dolce vita. From €45.00.
