Gozzo Tour of Polignano a Mare Caves

Tour Details

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

We'll sail from Monopoli toward Polignano a Mare, a coastal town on a rocky cliff with crystal-clear waters that conceal remarkable sea caves. Our first stops will be at Grotta Palazzese, known for its exclusive restaurant, and Lama Monachile, a natural cove with a pebbled beach famous for hosting Red Bull Cliff Diving events.

Next, we'll visit Ermitaño Island or Isola dell'Ermita, a habitat for the Audouin's gull. Our route will also include Grotta degli Innamorati (Lovers Cave), noted for its romantic scenery, followed by Grotta Ardito, another coastal treasure. A stop will be made for a refreshing swim in Polignano a Mare's turquoise waters.

During the tour, we will raise a toast with a glass of prosecco, accompanied by typical Pulia products, including taralli and focaccia barese.

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