11Polignano a Mare, Puglia

Polignano is getting more attention each year, but it still retains an old-world charm—especially if you wander away from the main viewpoints.

The town’s dramatic cliffs, turquoise coves, and winding alleys create postcard-perfect moments at every turn. Visit in May, early June, or late September for a quieter experience.
