Polignano a Mare grew from Roman and medieval settlements perched above the sea; its coastal position made it a fishing and trading spot for centuries.
Conservation
These cliffs and caves are sensitive karst formations—avoid anchoring on fragile rock, take all trash ashore, and limit loud noise to protect nesting seabirds and marine life.

Book sunset to night timing
Reserve the slot that starts about 30 minutes before sunset to experience golden light in the caves and safe swimming after dark.
Bring non-slip shoes
Boarding can be on a small dock or rocky quay; shoes with grip make stepping on and off safer.
Pack a waterproof phone case
Phones will get splashed during close cave passages and if you choose to swim — protect your device.
Take motion-sickness medication if sensitive
Even calm seas can sway small boats in the open Adriatic — medicate beforehand if you’re prone to seasickness.

Even summer evenings on the water can be chilly once the sun dips.
