Polignano A Mare : Avoid during Holy Week

Polignano a Mare is one of the most beautiful towns in Puglia but what happens when you visit on one of the busiest weekends of the year? We explored this stunning cliffside town on Easter Sunday, when thousands of visitors filled its narrow streets, viewpoints and famous Lama Monachile beach. While the crowds made it difficult to fully enjoy the experience, the beauty of Polignano a Mare still shone through. Join us as we wander through the charming old town, admire breathtaking views of Lama Monachile, visit the statue of Domenico Modugno - the voice behind Volare - discover hidden poetry on the streets, and experience one of Italy’s most iconic coastal destinations. Lesson learned: If you’re planning a trip to Polignano a Mare, avoid Holy Week if you can. Visit during the shoulder season to experience this incredible town at a more relaxed pace. 📍 Featured locations: • Marchesale Arch • Lama Monachile Beach & Lookouts • Largo Gelso Viewpoint • Bourbon Bridge • Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II • Old Town of Polignano a Mare • Statue of Domenico Modugno • Church of Saint Mary of the Assumption • Poetry Streets If you enjoy cinematic travel videos, hidden gems and honest travel experiences, don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and turn on notifications for more adventures across Italy and beyond. #PlanetV #PolignanoAMare #Puglia #ItalyTravel You may also follow The Planet V on Facebook and Instagram:   / theplanetvic     / melvicgcano
