Polignano kayak trip description

The POLIGNANO kayak trip is a fascinating tour, not physically demanding and therefore also suitable for those who have never gone kayaking. Included in the price is the SEA KAYAK COURSE FOR BEGINNERS guided by a 2nd level sea kayak instructor of the Italian Canoe and Kayak Federation. On the way we will show you hidden caves and ravines, all to be explored! After putting on the life jackets and entering our kayaks, we will be ready to sail southwards alongside the splendid and very high coast of Polignano. We will pass by the famous beach of Lama Monachile, we will visit Arcivescovado Cave, Palazzese Cave and will swim into the clear water of the Sotto Favale. This trip gives great emotions and allows you to navigate the blue waters of the coast of Polignano looking at the very high rocky coast that separates the city from the sea. We will take advantage of the unique perspective from the sea and the proximity to the coast that only a kayak can offer to visit one of the most beautiful stretches of sea in Puglia!

Polignano kayak trip starting and ending point

Cala Paura – Polignano a Mare. (Google Maps link)

Polignano a Mare is one of those city to be seen at least once in a lifetime. But what to see in Polignano a Mare and above all how to see it in one day? Looking at the photographs, you want to be there already. The most beautiful postcard images always portray the sea. And so it is! The best known and most photographed places in the city are Lama Monachile, the only beach in Polignano, and the sea caves. All these places can be explored by kayak by taking a trip along the high rocky coast on which Polignano stands.

LAMA MONACHILE

It is one of the most picturesque and best-known places in Polignano a Mare, famous above all for the inlet between the high rocky walls overlooking the sea. We are talking about Lama Monachile, located right at the entrance of the village and a stone’s throw from the historic center, the bed of an ancient stream, now dried up, which flowed into the sea.
The lama can be seen well from a 15-meter high bridge built by the Bourbons in the 1800s. Going along it, one cannot help leaning to immortalize this breathtaking view. Coming down from the bridge, using the steps that connect it to the bay below, we find ourselves inside the lama. The path to the sea, paved with white pebbles, leads us to the famous Cala Monachile. The mouth of the blade is represented by a sandy and pebbly beach, framed by the monumental cliff that stands out in the reflection of the crystal clear waters. It is here that the ancient river that furrowed these rocks flowed.

THE MARINE CAVES NEAR POLIGNANO A MARE

There are 21 caves that can be seen from the kayak along the Polignano’s coast which goes from Cala Paura to Porto Alga. Kayaking allows you to visit many more than the bulky and polluting tourist boats.

For description of all caves please read the blog post The 21 caves of Polignano a Mare
