About Bari

Bari is a working southern port with a soul in its old town—women still hand-roll orecchiette in doorways below the Romanesque Basilica di San Nicola. April to June and September offer the sweet spot: sea warm enough for a swim, evenings cool for aperitivo on the lungomare, and ferries to Polignano a Mare or Matera running smoothly. July and August bring heat and packed beaches; winter is mild but many trattorie close on Mondays. Stay near the Murattiano grid for easy access to both the centro storico and the train to Lecce.
