Monopoli tours

Things to do in Monopoli

Visitors arriving in Monopoli, a coastal city in Italy's Puglia region will find an atmospheric old town, where stone alleyways lead to family-run trattorias serving fresh seafood. Midway between Bari and Brindisi, it's an easy day trip, so book a Monopoli private tour and explore Italy's Puglia region with a local guide. Meet your guide at the old port to watch fishing boats set sail, then climb the ramparts of the Charles V castle for sea views. While you walk to the cathedral, have your guide explain the 'miracle' that led to a raft being used for the roof beams. Want to explore Puglia further? Visit Egnazia archeological park to see the Greco-Roman settlement of Messapii, then head to Alberobello to see the unique 'truilli' homes, built from limestone bricks without mortar. Romantics will love Polignano a Mare, where houses cling to the rocky overhang, while waves crash below. Your guide will know the best spot for a photo-op, and can organize dinner at a cave restaurant
