I was in Bari for one day. And I didn't swim in the sea because it was cold. I felt safe. I rented a cool apartment on booking.com and was delighted with the host. Highly recommended!!! https://secure.booking.com/app_link/myreservations.en.html?stid=325542&bn=4697326006&aid=332731 I didn't have time to do a lot, but I'll tell you what was in my plans: 1. Local ice cream: https://maps.app.goo.gl/DSkzwpmeJHPH9J467?g_st=ipc (Since 1880, the art of homemade gelato has been handed down for generations); 2. The Bari Fish Market (Mercato del Pesce) is a kingdom of fresh fish and seafood, where local chefs and gourmets find the best ingredients for Apulian cuisine. The counters are bursting with the catch brought by fishermen straight from the sea: octopus, squid, shrimp, mussels and much more. Traders are eager to tell you how to properly cook seafood; 3. Orecchiette Caserecce - the street. Every morning, the housewives of Bari go out into the street with their workbench and, using a few precious ingredients: water, flour and skill, begin to prepare pasta. 🍝 4. Alberobello is a town 60 km from Bari. It is world famous for its unique tiny houses that look like fairy-tale gnome dwellings. These small white stone buildings with a gray conical roof are called trulli. You will not find such houses anywhere else in the world.

I have a family house in Conversano, went to Bari, Polignano al Mare, Monopoli, Matera, Alberobello. Really nice spot to swim in Polignano, Matera was great, loads of films shot there. Downside is it's all gotten really touristy, so busier and more expensive. Amazing gelato at L'Incontro in Conversano. But it is also where the most men have eyed me up, asked me inappropriate things.
