SUGGERIMENTI  di viaggio. Travel Suggestions.
Se durante il tuo soggiorno hai il tempo per scoprire delle piccole perle non molto lontane da Bari, ti suggeriamo di visitare:
If you have some extra time during your stay in Bari, we highly recommend discovering these beautiful gems just a short drive away:

( andrebbero assolutamente visitate - They should be visit)

 Alberobello (Wikipedia)
E' riconosciuta come patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO. E' un paese che fa parte della Valle d'Itria.
E' celebre per i suoi famosi "trulli", abitazioni in pietra a forma conica (📷immagini).
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this town is part of the Itria Valley and is famous for its iconic trulli—cone-shaped stone houses (📷 images).

Locorotondo (Wikipedia)
Situata a soli 9 km da Alberobello (11 minuti di auto) fa parte anche essa della Valle d'Itria. La parte vecchia della cittadina è a forma circolare ed è molto piacevole curiosare tra le sue stradine caratteristiche. Se doveste capitare nel periodo natalizio le stesse stradine vengono addobbate tutte e si crea un'atmosfesa davvero magica (📷immagini).
Only 9 km from Alberobello (11 minutes by car), also part of the Itria Valley. Its charming old town is circular in shape, and strolling through its narrow alleys is a real pleasure. During the Christmas season, the streets are beautifully decorated, creating a magical atmosphere. (📷 images)

Cisternino (Wikipedia)
Borgo storico molto carino da visitare. Costruito su una collina offre splendide vedute sulla Valle d'Itria. Nella stagione estiva i suoi vicoli ed i suoi ristoranti si riempiono di turisti che trascorrono piacevoli serate. (📷immagini).
A lovely historical village perched on a hill, offering stunning views over the Itria Valley. In the summer, its alleys and restaurants come alive with visitors enjoying relaxed, cheerful evenings. (📷 images)

Detta anche "La città bianca" sorge in collina a soli 7.5 km dalla costa. Da ogni sua terrazza è un bel vedere. In lontananza appare con le sue abitazioni bianche che spiccano per altezza e colore tra il verde degli ulivi secolari e l'azzurro del mare. La sera si riempie di turisti che, dalle spiagge, si riversa nella cittadina per scoprire le sue piccole viuzze in salita ricche di negozi e ristoranti tipici. (📷immagini)
Also known as the "White City", Ostuni sits on a hill just 7.5 km from the coast. Its white buildings shine among the green of ancient olive trees and the blue sea. In the evening, visitors flock from the beach to explore its charming uphill alleys, filled with shops and local restaurants. (📷 images)

Monopoli (Wikipedia)
Il suo caratteristico centro storico si affaccia sul mare circondato da alte mura. Vale la pena nel periodo estivo fare una passeggiata tra i suoi vicoli ed i suoi negozi.(📷immagini)
This picturesque old town overlooks the sea, protected by high city walls. A perfect spot for a summer walk through narrow streets and seaside boutiques. (📷 images)

 Polignano (Wikipedia)
Arroccata su un'alta scogliera è assolutamente da visitare anche solo per gustare un gelato nelle stradine o sulle terrazze affacciate sul mare. (📷immagini)
Perched atop dramatic cliffs, this stunning town is worth visiting even just for a gelato in the narrow streets or on a sea-view terrace. (📷 images)

Famosa per i suoi Sassi e le abitazioni rupestri. Matera è una delle più uniche destinazioni in Italia. (📷immagini)
Famous for its ancient Sassi districts and cave dwellings, Matera is one of the most unique destinations in Italy.(📷 images)

Un tesoro meno turistico con profondi canyon, ponti di pietra e chiese rupestri che aspettano di essere esplorate.(📷immagini)
A less touristy treasure with deep canyons, stone bridges, and rock churches waiting to be explored.(📷 images)

Based on the experience of many guests who have stayed at our property, you can easily spend 5–6 days in Bari, visiting the city and taking buses to nearby towns which, according to everyone, are definitely worth seeing. However, if you’d like to combine the classic sightseeing vacation with some time at the beach and more flexibility, we recommend renting a car to move around freely.

In Bari, a car is not necessary—parking is difficult and would only add stress.
 The city center (the Murattiano district) starts at the central train station, just a 10-minute walk from our property. It's easy to explore, as the streets form a grid layout. The main pedestrian street is Via Sparano, and along with its parallel street Via Argiro (also pedestrian), and the cross streets, it hosts the most important shops and fashion brands.

At the end of Via Sparano, opposite the station, you’ll find Corso Vittorio Emanuele, full of restaurants and bars. From there, you can enter the old town (Bari Vecchia), where you can lose yourself in charming little streets full of local folklore. You can visit the Basilica of Saint Nicholas, the Cathedral, and the Swabian Castle, as well as small churches, museums, and the old city walls overlooking the sea.
 You can walk along the famous "orecchiette street" (named after the typical Apulian pasta), where elderly ladies make fresh orecchiette by hand right outside their homes.

From Corso Vittorio Emanuele, you’ll also see the old Teatro Margherita (which is built directly over the sea) and you can take a stroll along the southern seafront (one of the most beautiful in Italy), enjoying a pleasant walk all the way to the Pane e Pomodoro beach.
Walking along the seafront, on the right side, you'll find the Umbertino district, full of Liberty-style buildings, bars, and nightlife venues that come alive in the evening.

If you'd like to combine beach days with afternoon and evening sightseeing, renting a car—as mentioned earlier—is a great option.
One town not to be missed is Polignano a Mare, also known for hosting the Red Bull Cliff Diving competition. The old town is perched on high cliffs, with narrow alleys and panoramic balconies overlooking the sea.
 Just a few kilometers away is Monopoli, which is especially worth visiting in the evening—perhaps stopping there for dinner before returning to Bari.
Some of the most beautiful beaches stretch from Monopoli (a mix of sand and rocks) to Capitolo (all sandy beaches). In both Monopoli (where some beaches are right in town) and Capitolo, you can choose between free and paid beach areas, and the sea is always beautiful.

Another great option is spending a day at the beach along the coast near Ostuni (from Villanova to Costa Merlata, there are many lovely beaches and coves, both free and with facilities), and then choosing whether to visit Ostuni (the “White City”) and dine there, or continue on to Cisternino for dinner before heading back. (Both Ostuni and Cisternino are definitely worth a visit.)

If you skip the beach, be sure to visit Alberobello. Unique in the world, it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous for its cone-shaped houses—the Trulli. After visiting Alberobello, we recommend heading to nearby Locorotondo (about 10 km away) for dinner before returning to Bari.

One more place you shouldn’t miss is Matera. It's not in Puglia, but in the neighboring region of Basilicata—only about an hour from Bari. It’s also very unique, as the old part of the city is famous for its dwellings carved into the rock.

And one last tip… if you’re on a diet, don’t come to Puglia! 😄
