- La Torre d’Incina - As the coast comes into view, the impressive Incina Tower stands proudly on the cliff. This sixteenth-century watchtower is surrounded by a sea that transitions from turquoise to deep blue. Discover how the Tower once safeguarded the land, serving as a beacon of hope for the locals. Prepare your phones and cameras! A strategic stop will be made right in front of the tower.
- Grotticella Sella - Named for the unique shape of the rock that juts from the sea at the cave’s end, resembling a horse saddle, this formation is easily recognizable from afar.
The true wonder lies within. The Sella Cave is partially “open-air” due to a large hole in the vault’s top. This opening acts as a natural skylight: at midday, when the sun is at its peak, a vertical beam of light illuminates the cave’s center like a theatrical spotlight, making the water appear almost unreal in its clarity.
- Cave of Pigeons - As the journey continues south, one encounters the romantic and enchanting Grotto of Love. The name is fitting, inspired by a unique optical and morphological feature that draws couples and dreamers from all over.
Inside the cave, looking up, a natural opening in the rock is visible. When sunlight streams through this hole and reflects off the water or damp walls, it creates an image that strikingly resembles a heart.
-
Cala Sala (Portacola) - In a corner of Polignano, time seems to have paused to make way for poetry. The Fishermen’s Village, a cluster of houses nestled in the rock of Port’Alga, appears to whisper tales of the sea to those who approach by boat.
From the boat, the view is breathtaking: the whitewashed walls, painted traditionally to reflect the sun, contrast with the deep blue of the doors and windows. This color scheme echoes the sky and sea surrounding these quaint homes. -
Scoglio dell’Eremita - An imposing rock, completely detached from the mainland, rises skyward. This wild area, now a special protection zone, is where nature reigns supreme. Observe the steep walls where the rare Corsican seagull often rests. It is a display of pure strength: the rock breaking the waves, standing still and majestic.
Hear the tale that gives this place its name. Legend has it that, in ancient times, a man chose to leave behind wealth and society to live atop this rock in solitude and prayer. - Grotte di Pietro e Paolo - Two grand natural arches stand like guardians, leading to waters of such intense turquoise that they take your breath away.
- Grotta Ardito delle Caldaie - Majestic and grand, with its natural terrace overlooking the blue abyss, it offers one of the most spectacular coastal views.
- Grotta Palazzese - Once known as the “Palace Cave,” this vast natural cavity is renowned worldwide for hosting one of the most exclusive restaurants. Beyond luxury, the cave itself is a natural masterpiece.
-
Lama Monachile - If one image captures the magic of Puglia globally, it is this. Forget the crowds on the bridge: with PUGLIENZO, experience it from the only perspective that makes you feel part of the postcard. Slowly enter the natural rift where the sea’s blue meets the white pebbles of Italy’s most famous beach.
In Blue Painted Blue: The Tribute to Domenico Modugno
This cove cannot be left without honoring the person who made Polignano famous worldwide: Domenico Modugno. From the cliff, his statue’s silhouette, with open arms, seems to embrace the sea and wind.
