  1. Thank you for sharing you experience. <3 It is very usuful.
    One comment…about adapter – most of the Europe have the same plug as Italian.

    1. Hi! I was referencing the three prong (type L). I see it less and less these days but still will find it in older buildings. (I have lived in Europe for 15 years – never seen that one anywhere else except Italy).

  2. Which town is it better to base yourself from, Polignano a Mare or Monopoli when you are touring around? Thanks for all your tips

    1. I know this is a really old comment and I am just now seeing it (I’m so sorry!). So I thought I’d answer even though you’ve probably already been (but it may help other travelers).

      While I loved Polignano a Mare, I don’t think it is the best base for getting around. I would pick Monopoli (also larger and more to do). You can also do other day trips to Ostuni or Alberobello from Monopoli easier!

  3. Hi, thank you so much for an excellent blog on Monopoli. Is weather ok in the first week of May? Is there public transport to other locations eg Materra, Ostuni etc.

    1. Hey! Monopoli is fantastic during the first week of May! Much better than July when it is sweltering :) As for public transport, you can get to anywhere with trains (I took the train to Matera and Ostuni both). The only issue in Ostuni is that you will need to grab a bus after you get off the train to reach the center. You can also reach Polignano a Mare, Bari, Trani, and Alberobello with public trains from Monopoli.

  4. What is it like in Monopoli at the end of Sept through October? Are there many English speakers?
