Monopoli is a beautiful historic coastal town on the Adriatic sea in the southeast of Italy. Wandering around its narrow streets is simply a delight. It really is a little jam with beautiful churches and Piazza and fantastic local restaurants with great beaches nearby. There were regular trains from Bari, he journey time is around 30 to 40 minutes. #getgoing2025 #monopoli #apulia #puglia

I have seen on the pictures it is worth a visit, but I did not expect this beautiful. If you are in Triest even if only for 1 day, this is a must. You can get here by bus (more frequently) or train as well. The garden is huge and super green (you can even see a secoia), and you can walk around the castle free of charge. Please note that you can not go (or at least at that time) to the docks on the sea. Don't miss this from your itinerary! #trieste #castle #sea #trip

🇮🇹Fourth Stop: Due to the seasonal closure of the famous attractions and hotels in 'Polignano a Mare', the trip was redirected to another seaside town 20 kilometers away, Monopoli, in the province of Bari. Although it is not very well-known, it brought me a pleasant surprise! It is said that in the first century AD, the apostle Peter passed through this place while preaching. Historical records show that Monopoli was under Roman rule at that time and served as a military port. In the 11th century, it even became an important commercial port in Europe. During the Crusades, Monopoli's unique geographical location made it a transit station for military and information transmission. Various buildings from different historical periods in the city are still preserved and in use today. Let's start a city walk! Strolling through the medieval streets painted with white lime, every snapshot looks like a beautiful painting. Key landmarks to check out include the Monopoli Cathedral and the Charles V Castle, with a distant view of the magnificent Adriatic Sea bay. Its unique and picturesque scenery will undoubtedly become the next hotspot. Don Ferrante Hotel: Staying at the 'Don Ferrante Hotel', located in a restored 16th-century seaside fortress, adds a romantic historical atmosphere to the hotel. The rooftop is decorated with 14 elegant chimneys, and the romantic layered terraces offer wonderful sea views.

--- Nestled in the heart of Monopoli, Hotel Don Ferrante at Via S. Vito, 27 offers an intimate escape into Italy's coastal charm. This boutique hotel, a beautifully converted historic building, boasts a handful of uniquely designed rooms, ensuring a stay that's as exclusive as it is comfortable. Here's why it's a must-visit: 🏰 The character-filled accommodations come with all the mod-cons you'd expect, wrapped in a warm, inviting ambiance—perfect after exploring the town's photogenic historical center, just a short stroll away. 🍽️ Expect a gastronomic treat with a side of enthusiastic service at the hotel's restaurant. And who can resist complimentary hazelnut chocolates at the front desk? Surely not this wanderlust-stricken blogger! 🌅 But the real showstopper? The sea-view rooms. They might be cozy, but waking up to the azure waters and soaking in the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from your balcony is nothing short of magical. --- #Monopoli #MonopoliHotel #MonopoliTravel

Monopoli is part of the Puglia region in southern Italy. The Puglia region is a great place to travel because the cities are well connected by train and are close together. I took the train from Bari, and the train station is not far from the city center, so you can travel without a car. The city center of Monopoli is full of medieval antiques and unique architecture. You can feel the historical atmosphere in the narrow, alleyways. The city atmosphere is so great that I was happy just walking around! #EuropeanTravel
