🇮🇹 Bari (Not Paris!): A Slow-Life Gem

This southern Italian port city—just 40mins from Matera—is all about: Octopus burgers 🐙 (legendary!) Portside oysters 🦪 (€10 for 4—so fresh!) Olive oil-packed chili peppers 🌶️ from Old Town shops (snack-while-you-stroll mode) 🍋 Obsession Alert! That LEMON SODA in our cover photo? Team verdict: 3 bottles/day/person—no joke! 😱 (TB won’t help—DM if you find it in China!) 📒 Quick Tips Old Town: 3h is plenty (charades skills needed with vendors! 🤷‍♀️) Parking chaos: Streets jammed with cars 🚗💨 (*but port lot = €1/hr—use coins + license plate at machine!*) Those chili oils? Probably why Italians gesticulate so much. 🌶️💃 Who’s packing stretchy pants?) [Note: Used 🐙🦪🌶️ for foodie fun, 🤷‍♀️ for language struggles, and kept tone playful yet practical!] #BariLikeALocal #ItalianSlowLife
