4.5 from partner siteMeet your assistant in either Bari or Brindisi to travel to Polignano a Mare, or directly in Polignano a Mare. Climb into the awaiting vehicle for transfer to the Porto di San Vito, where you'll board the boat that will take you to the sea caves.
Cruise out into the sea and enjoy the views from the water. Admire the Grotta delle Rondinelle and Grotta of Episcopina. See the famous Grotta Palazzese, which features in historic encyclopedias and French engravings. You'll be close to the Cave of Chiangella, named for the tears of the despair of mothers over the fate of their daughters, abducted during raids by Saracens and pirates.
The sea caves are of particular interest due to the erosive action of water, wind and the karst phenomenon which have created a charming setting. See the unique formations, play of colors, and light displays and you'll see why nature is the true artist here.
