🇮🇹 Taranto’s Hidden Gem:Gulf of Taranto ✨

Taranto is like a sheet of seaweed—🌿 A charming port city in Puglia, Southern Italy 🏝️, way less touristy than Bari 🚶♂️👋. It sits on the Gulf of Taranto, right between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas 🌊💙. The old town is on a tiny island 🏰, packed with medieval charm �. A super cool swing bridge 🌉✨ connects it to the new town—it actually rotates when ships pass! ⛵🔄 Along the coast, you’ll find stunning beaches 🏖️ and giardini di lungomare (seafront gardens) 🌸🌴—absolutely breathtaking! 😍 And guess what? It’s the homeland of cozze (mussels) 🦪 and has fresh oysters 🍽️ that are to die for! 🤤 🚂 Direct trains link to Bari, Lecce, and Naples—easy peasy! ✈️🇮🇹 #CrystalClearSea 🌊 #HiddenGem 💎 #Puglia 🌿 #TravelItaly 🍝 #SeafoodLover 🦐 #OffTheBeatenPath 🗺️ #MedievalVibes 🏰 #ItalianSummer ☀️
