    Magical Monopoli

    September 16, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    Monopoli is known for its beautiful coastline, quaint atmosphere and delicious seafood. It's also close to some of the most stunning beaches in Italy, with crystal-clear water that's perfect for swimming 🏊‍♂️ 🌊☀️

    The name of the city derives from the greek "monos polis" which means unique and singular. Definition that is quite valid even nowadays as Monopoli is truly unique and fascinating.

    The town is less touristy than nearby Polignano or Alberobello.

    100% now one of my absolute favourites! There was just something about the aesthetic, the feel and the general chilled environment that was so relaxing and peaceful! The weatherworn buildings were absolutely beautiful against the Adriatic blue of the sea 🌊

    We only had 2 hours here! Could easily spend a week. Seafood 🦞 is the obvious speciality and we were treated to a seafood lunch of delicious thick juicy prawns and a bottle of local white wine from the Puglia region.

    …just loved 🥰 it here! 💚🤍❤️
