If you are tempted to recreate the local food at home, then try the daily fish market on the elegant seafront (Lungomare) (25-minute walk) where the fishermen sell their catch directly from their boats. Bari has many other markets, including the Monday morning flea market in Via Napoli (10 minutes) where you can find handicrafts, textiles and interesting craft items.

Guests can easily explore Puglia, taking in gems such as Alberobello (1 hour 10 minutes), famous for its Trulli; Polignano a Mare (40 minutes) which offers excellent snorkeling and Monopoli (50 minutes) with its charming winding whitewashed streets and ancient harbour and the Baroque city of Lecce (2 hours minutes) known as the “Florence of the South”.

Bari International Airport is only 25 minutes away. Arriving by train? Bari Centrale Station is a 25-minute walk.
