Honest answers to the questions travellers ask us most.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What is Polignano a Mare best known for?

For its white old town on limestone cliffs, Lama Monachile cove and sea caves such as Grotta Palazzese. The caves are the main bookable experience; food walks, cooking classes, tuk-tuk and e-bike tours cover the town itself.

Where do the boat tours leave from?

Many leave from Cala Ponte Marina north of the centre; others depart from Monopoli, about ten kilometres south. Read the meeting point rather than assuming the photographed old town is the harbour.

Does Polignano have sandy beaches?

The famous Lama Monachile is a small pebble cove and gets crowded in summer. Polignano has rocky coves and platforms; broader sandy choices are easier around Capitolo and south of Monopoli.

Can I visit Alberobello or Matera from Polignano?

Yes. Alberobello is roughly 29 km away and about half an hour by car; direct bus options are slower. Matera is a much longer day trip. Several bookable tours combine them, but Polignano is not the closest base for Matera.

Do cave trips run in rough weather?

Not always. The exposed Adriatic coast has no guarantee of cave entry or swimming stops. Operators may alter or cancel the route when conditions are unsafe; check the booking terms and messages on the day.
