Be ready to venture out together with your family to Monopoli, a lovely friendly fishing town on the Adriatic. Soak in the joyful atmosphere of this town if only for a stroll around its pier!
Even your kids will enjoy watching fishermen fix their nets at the harbour, seeing the brightly coloured fishing boats, as well as the cannons along the fortified walls of the old castle, playing on the playground and, last but not least, getting to the pristine and sandy beaches within walking distance, just beside the city walls!
Don't miss the opportunity to visit the lovely and picturesque centro storico (old town) where you will find a number of charming churches, crypts and countless cobbled streets! And before leaving Monopoli take a stroll also in the new town: you will be surprised to see a very large, bright central piazza lined with bars, cafés, shops and pretty buildings.
It is the perfect meeting point for people of all ages: families with kids, the elderly, the young, just being there, taking the ritual passeggiata (stroll) and contributing to a happy and cheerful atmosphere.
