The boat slips away from the quay and Polignano a Mare folds into a strip of white houses and terraces that lean toward the sea. From aboard, limestone cliffs rise like cut pages; wind and water have scored caves and arches that the captain threads you through, each narrow mouth revealing a different color of blue.
