Stop at this small café so as not to miss the Caffe' Speciale Polignanese. This is THE the specialty of Polignano: a typical drink made with coffee, sugar, lemon peel, cream, and amaretto.

Colorful boats moored on San Vito beach, with a beautiful view of the historic buildings and the cloudy sky.

We decided to take a boat cruise to discover the sublime coastline of Polignano and its many caves. We took the cruise with Dorino, which departs from San Vito: very good value for money and a great atmosphere on the boat.
