Standing on a low hydraulic platform at the stern, the salt air tugs at your shirt and the boat hums beneath your feet. In a few breaths you are airborne — the parachute billows, the town of Polignano a Mare shrinks to a string of white buildings and the sea opens into a hard, reflective blue. From this angle the limestone cliffs that frame the town show their layers like pages of geological time; caves and ledges cut into the rock draw the eye along the coast.
