Polignano a Mare: Holiday home bed & breakfast farm holiday in Polignano a Mare Puglia southern Italy

Polignano al Mare is a fishing village surrounded by the lush blue waters of the Adriatic Sea. In ancient times called Neapolis, it overlooks the sea with houses from high up on the rocks. The buildings are all whitewashed, there is a stunning cathedral.
The numerous caves in Polignano al Mare were formed from the rough sea waves that molded the rock. Some of the caves are deep enough to reach the center of the town. There is a huge underground cave and grotto that gives so many buildings their name. The underground cavern has crystal clear water and blue stalactites and stalagmites. The Cavernone dei Monumenti is filled with pillars growing out of the ground, formed of rocks that are green, orange, white and brown. La Grave is a stunning hole in the ceiling of the grotto, through which white sunlight streams, contrasting against the black and green rocks that turn golden in a halo of sun.
