Overview

Choose the boat tour of the Polignano a Mare caves and let yourself 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's 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 San Vito, a hamlet of Polignano a Mare; The starting point is 10 minutes away from the center of Polignano but for those who need to, it is possible to purchase a transfer service. During the excursion there is a stop for a swim in one of the most suggestive places on the Polignano coast. With Pugliamare you can enjoy a tasty aperitif based on fresh drinks and prosecco offered by the crew. WE WILL SHOW YOU THE HIDDEN TREASURES OF THE BEAUTIFUL POLIGNANO A MARE.

Meeting points

The starting point of the tour is in front of the bar 'La veranda di Giselda', where you will find a member of our staff wearing a Pugliamare t-shirt.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

  • 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.

    30 minutes

  • Lama Monachile

    Lama Monachile is the postcard of Polignano. It is the most photographed beach, the first stop that visitors reach once they arrive in town. In the 15th century it was the commercial port of Polignano. Looking at Lama Monachile from the sea, on the left you can observe the cliff of the Bastione di Santo Stefano. On the right, however, the rocks welcome large steps at the top of which there is the bronze statue dedicated to Domenico Modugno. There is a small cave accessible from the blade, whose exit can be seen from the sea: La Grotta della Piana. It's a kind of rock tunnel.

    30 minutes

  • Grotta Azzurra

    The blue cave is located below the Santo Stefano Bastion. It is called this because of the play of light that occurs between the sea water, the sun and the rocks, which gives the cave its blue colour.

Danilo was an outstanding captain. Very friendly and informative. The unexpected encounter with a pod of dolphins made a great excursion even better!

We took a boat tour to caves and I highly recommend taking one. The boat goes inside grottes. The tour value each eur you paid. We made a stop in caves to drink Prosseco and look around. The boat not big so you go with maximum 10 people and you have very comfortable seats. We also made a stop to swim in the open sea far from the beach. Music on the boat boost your mood. Also they have recorded stories about place you see on a way.
