Itinerary
Meeting your Tour Manager at London Gatwick, you fly to Bari. On arrival in the city on the east coast of Italy, you transfer to your hotel near to Polignano a Mare, a relaxing all-inclusive base ideally situated for exploring this charming and unspoilt part of Italy.
The seafront location of your hotel has a laid-back atmosphere overlooking the azure waters of the Adriatic. With free time after you check-in, you can unwind on the private beach or in the spa. Perhaps you would prefer to lounge by the outdoor swimming pools with a cooling drink.
This evening, you enjoy dinner at the hotel with drinks included - as they are between 10am and 10pm each day.
It is possible to fly from regional airports and meet your Tour Manager in Italy

Generally very enjoyable trip. Good hotel, food and excellent tour manager. Only comment is that the 2 days on railways stated too early, as they were full with commuters. An hour later would have better and the end time could have been 2 hours shorter as not a lot to do in towns

Excellent tour to a relatively unknown and largely unspoilt part of Italy. Our hotel was very comfortable with excellent food, much of it local; and our tour manager ensured everyone enjoyed their stay.
