Gozzo Tour of Polignano a Mare Caves

Tour Details

We'll meet at the designated time at Molo Regina Margherita in Monopoli. Once ready, we'll board a motorised gozzo, a traditional Italian fishing boat, to explore Pulia's coastline.

Departing from Monopoli, we'll sail towards Polignano a Mare, located on a rocky cliff with crystal-clear waters concealing beautiful sea caves. Our first stops include Grotta Palazzese, which has a restaurant inside, and Lama Monachile, a natural cove with a pebbled beach known for Red Bull Cliff Diving events.

We will then continue to Ermitaño Island or Isola dell'Ermita, home to the Audouin's gull, and proceed to the Grotta degli Innamorati (Lovers Cave), known for its romantic scenery. Lastly, we'll pass by the Grotta Ardito, among the coastal treasures, and enjoy a stop for a refreshing bath in Polignano a Mare's turquoise waters.

Aboard, we'll toast with a glass of prosecco and sample typical Pulia products like taralli and focaccia barese.

The boat ride will conclude back at the initial port after a total of 2.5 hours of sailing.
