Spectacular Sea Caves

Polignano a Mare stands on limestone cliffs that the Adriatic has hollowed into dozens of sea caves. This selection covers the caves right under the old town, including Grotta Palazzese with its summer restaurant, and a few quieter grottoes along the coast. Most are best seen from the water on a boat trip.
