Why Polignano a Mare matters

Whitewashed houses sit on a cliff edge above a tiny beach between two rock walls. The old town has little lanes and sea-view terraces. It's one of Puglia's most photographed places. Look down from the clifftop terraces, then walk the lanes of the old town for gelato and sea views.
