Lido Pantano — Beach Club
The oldest beach club in Monopoli, founded in the 1930s and still run by the same family. In the heart of the city — convenient, well‑equipped, and with the character of places that have lasted for generations.
Macramè — Beach Club
The go‑to beach club on the Monopoli coast. Surrounded by Mediterranean scrub, with a fully equipped beach, a seafront restaurant, a lounge bar and sunset aperitifs. A place where you can stay from morning to night.
Casa Mia — Trattoria & Pizzeria
In Piazza Garibaldi, in the heart of Polignano a Mare. Contemporary Apulian cuisine, fresh fish selected daily, pizzas with refined doughs and zero‑kilometre ingredients. A place where you eat well and instantly feel at ease.
Dorino — Boat Tours
Since 1993, the leading reference for boat excursions between Polignano a Mare and Monopoli. Sea caves, hidden coves, the Adriatic coast seen from the water. An experience you don’t improvise — and one Dorino has been perfecting for thirty years.
Il Brigante — Trattoria, Monopoli
In the narrow streets of the historic center, near the port. Authentic Apulian seafood cuisine: raw fish, fresh seafood appetizers, well‑made first courses. A small place with limited seating — booking is recommended.

Guided buggy tours through the olive groves, trulli and masserie of the Itria Valley, just a few kilometres from Monopoli. Two hours of Apulian countryside seen from above, suitable for everyone — children included.
Almarea — Osteria di mare
In Piazza Garibaldi, in the historic center of Monopoli. Seafood specialities, a refined atmosphere, and a cuisine focused on fresh, high‑quality ingredients. The right place for a seafood dinner in the heart of the city.
