Polignano a Mare is highly accessible by train, with frequent connections from Bari (just 30 to 50 minutes) and other Puglian towns. The train station is a 10-minute walk from the old town. Driving is also convenient, though parking can be challenging and there are restricted traffic zones to avoid.
Half a day to one full day is sufficient to see Polignano a Mare's main attractions, explore the historic center, visit the beach, and enjoy the views. The old town is small and easily covered in a few hours. Many visitors come as a day trip while staying in nearby towns, which offers better value.
Polignano a Mare is among the pricier destinations in Puglia. Accommodation rates are higher than surrounding areas, especially in August when even basic guesthouses triple their prices. Dining and services also cost more than in nearby towns. Many travelers visit as a day trip from more affordable bases like Monopoli or Ostuni.
The official currency of Italy is the Euro. Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere in Polignano a Mare, including restaurants, hotels, and shops. However, it's always useful to have cash on hand for smaller purchases, beach clubs, or vendors who may prefer cash payments.
Polignano a Mare is famous for its spectacular cliff diving (it hosts the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series), outstanding gelato, and being the birthplace of Domenico Modugno, who sang the international hit Volare. The town's dramatic clifftop location and the iconic Lama Monachile beach make it one of Puglia's most photographed destinations.
Lama Monachile is Polignano's most famous beach, small and framed by dramatic cliffs. It's stunning but gets extremely crowded in summer. The beach is rocky underfoot and the water deepens quickly. Locals cliff dive here, but caution is essential. Better, quieter beaches are just a short walk away from the main beach.
The best time to visit is during shoulder season in April, May, September, and October, offering warm weather, manageable crowds, and reasonable prices. Peak summer months (June through August) bring hot temperatures and large crowds, especially at the famous beach. May and late September provide the ideal balance.
Don't miss Pescaria for amazing seafood panini (expect queues during peak times). For gelato, try Gusto Caruso or other local gelaterias. The cave restaurant Grotta Palazzese offers a spectacular setting but comes with very high prices.
