About this guide
The coast south of Bari is the Puglia from the photos: white towns on cliffs, clear water and tiny coves between the rocks.
The guide is split by day, each with a route, parking, sights in order, where to eat and where to swim. Monopoli is the most convenient base: every place in this guide is 15–40 minutes away.
