What to expect

Cala Paura
15 min
The first indentation we find along the coast is
a cove, not a cave: Cala Paura. In reality, the
its original name is Cala Paguro. It is thought that,
from the pronunciation of the dialect term “Pagour”
(hermit crab), it has come to be called Cala Paura for
assonance.
In this cove there is the famous writing “I'll be back
Immediately” with wrought iron letters set in the
rock. It seems that they are the work of a sculptor
Iranian visiting Polignano but it is not known who he is visiting
the artist reported.
Maybe right in our country. -
Grottone
20 min
Immediately after Cala Paura we find Grottone.
In the second half of the 19th century, this place was the headquarters
of one of the first bathing establishments in Polignano.
The cabins appear to have been fixed on a dense system of
wooden stilts. The tuff wall that separates
Grottone da Cala Paura, was probably built
during the same period. -
Lama Monachile
20 min
Lama Monachile is the postcard of Polignano.
It is the most photographed beach, the first stop that i
visitors reach once they arrive in town.
In the 15th century it was the commercial port of
Polignano.
Looking at Lama Monachile from the sea, on the left
you can observe the cliff of Bastione di Santo
Stephen. On the right, however, the rocks welcome some
large steps at the top of which there is the statue
bronze dedicated to Domenico Modugno. There is a
small cave accessible from the blade, whose exit is there
it can be observed from the sea: The Grotta della Piana. AND
a kind of rocky tunnel. -
Grotta Azzurra
20 min
The blue cave is located below the Bastion
Saint Stephen. It is called so because of the game of
lights that occurs between the sea water, the sun and the
rocks, which gives the cave its blue color.
