Choose the boat tour of the caves of Polignano a Mare and be surprised by the jagged cliffs overlooking the sea!

During the experience you will visit all the caves of Polignano, the famous Palazzese cave, the swallow cave, along the coast until you reach Cala Port'alga and the Lovers cave a little further on, passing through the hermit rock.

Our Tour includes an aperitif offered on board and there is the possibility to stop for a dip where the sea is bluer!

It starts from the Port of San Vito, a hamlet of Polignano a Mare, 10 minutes by car from the center of Polignano, but you can buy a separate transfer service. During the excursion there is a bathing stop in one of the most suggestive places of the Polygnane coast.

With Pugliamare you can enjoy a tasty aperitif based on taralli and prosecco offered by the cabin crew.

Itinerary

Abbazia di San Vito

The small port of San Vito is used as a dock for local fishermen's boats. From the sea you can see the Abbey of the same name overlooking the marina, dating back to the eighteenth century and currently a private residence. On the left we can see the control tower and the fishponds, built to store live fish during the winter months.

Cala Paura

The first recess we find along the coast is a cove, not a cave: Cala Paura. In reality, its original name is Cala Paguro. It is thought that, from the pronunciation of the dialect term "Pagour" (hermit crab), it came to be called Cala Paura due to assonance. In this cove there is the famous writing "Torno Subito" with wrought iron letters set in the rock. It seems that they are the work of an Iranian sculptor visiting Polignano but it is not known who the artist was referring to. Maybe right in our country.

Immediately after Cala Paura we find Grottone. Think that in the early 1900s inside the cave there was a cinema, accessed through the small door to the sea.
