Puglia 🧜♀️🧜♂️ Taranto, Italy
Taranto is one of Italy's most important ports and a natural tourist destination, best known for its ancient Roman ruins. Stroll through the old town, where you can brush shoulders with the remnants of Greek temples.🌊🐚 Like Palermo and Naples, it’s also a city with its share of working-class neighborhoods.🏛️ Travel Tips: Hotel Recommendation: Delfino Hotel Taranto - HO Collection – One of the few chain hotels open during the off-season. If you're lucky, you might spot dolphins in the morning! Dolphin-Watching Tour: Jonian Dolphin Conservation offers a "Researchers for a Day" safari (approx. 5 hours, €37.06 per adult). 🏰 Aragonese Castle: Free to view from outside, but interior access requires a guided tour (2 hours). After seeing so many castles, I opted to skip this one. Old Town Exploration: Quaint and compact—can be fully explored in about 2 hours.🌅 Historical Sites: The old town has Greek ruins and the Taranto National Archaeological Museum for history buffs. #AroundTheWorld #OffTheBeatenPath #Travel #ScenicViews #CulturalExploration #HiddenGems #UrbanPhotography #GlobalAdventures #EuropeHiddenSpots #Italy #Puglia #Taranto
