The name "Monopoli" derives from the Greek "monos polis" which means unique and singular. Valid today, this is an intriguing seafront town of whitewashed villas, dazzling promenade and historical port beginnings dating back to the seventh century. It hides above cliff walls in its dense labyrinth of houses, churches, monasteries and crypts spread around the port and the beautiful baroque cathedral, guarded by the stunning seafront Castle of Charles V. South of Bari, on the Adriatic coast, its neighbouring cities are: Polignano a Mare, Conversano, Castellana Grotte, Alberobello and Fasano. Monopoli is in the “heel” of Italy, in the very heart of Puglia, with its wonderful soft light and far-reaching horizons; with the Ionian Sea on one side and the Adriatic on the other, there are miles upon miles of golden beaches. The Valle dItria is known as being one of the most beautiful areas of Puglia where the cities of Bari and Brindisi can easily be reached. The capital Bari is a vibrant port and university town, whilst Lecce is the ‘Florence of the south - known for its baroque architecture and “Trulli” - stone huts with cone-shaped roofs that were originally homes; today they can be visited in their preserved form, and provide something of a fairy tale-esque experience for younger members of the group!
