Polignano a Mare

Polignano a Mare needs 1 day: touring the historic center built on the edge of a cliff over the Adriatic Sea, with Lama Monachile beach tucked into a cove between two bridges, and cruising the sea caves carved into the limestone rock, in a single day. June-September brings ideal beach weather. It's mid-to-upper priced, with a high season heavily concentrated in summer. It's the hometown of singer Domenico Modugno, author of 'Volare,' and its cliff -with white houses that seem to hang over the sea- hosts a stage of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series every year.
