Historic Center of Monopoli

Highlight • Historical Site

Port city of Puglia, historical and functional in equal parts, Monopoli impresses the visitor with medieval churches and castles overlooking the Adriatic. It's also every painter's dream, with deep blue fishing boats adding a pop of color to the whitewashed harbor walls.

Here the seafaring tradition is alive and present in the historic fishing boats, in the port with its "gozzi" (the small boats of fishermen), in the calloused hands of shipwrights and shipbuilding craftsmen, in the infinite gazes of fishermen, but above all in that sense of community that is found and renewed in the maritime roots. The port, integrated into the urban fabric, acts as a link between the ancient center and the city. It is a multi-purpose port, as it is dedicated to both commercial traffic (fishing and various materials) and tourism. There are also shipyards in the port area, so it is easy to come across the construction of small and medium-sized hulls. Ancient crafts such as that of the shipwright coexist with a design and construction structure in step with technology.

Porto Ghiacciolo Beach

Highlight • Beach

​Porto Ghiacciolo is one of the most charming coves in Monopoli, located south of the city center, at the foot of the Abbey of Santo Stefano. This beach is characterized by fine, light sand, crystalline waters that vary from emerald green to intense blue, and gently sloping seabeds, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The name "Ghiacciolo" comes from the fresh sea currents that cross the area, giving the water a pleasantly refreshing temperature even in the hottest months.

Savelletri Harbor

Highlight • Structure

Fishing port of Savelletri. The port is protected by an approximately 330 m long breakwater and a small quayside breakwater. Surrounded by several bars and typical restaurants, it is an excellent point to use as a lunch / aperitif stop.
