General presentation
Tarente et mer Ionienne
Ionian apulia between ancient town, major archeological museum, beaches, dunes and nearby white villages.
To understand what Taranto and the Ionian Sea are, you have to look at Taranto, Marta and the Old Town of Taranto. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by urban life, the coastline and the heritage and to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 6 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. To anticipate also: industrial city by sectors and very hot in summer. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Tarente
Tarente presents a mixture of historical centre, port areas and spaces crossed by sea light. A walk between old and modern makes its personality tangible, especially when alternate places, docks and transition passages.
Place
MArTA
The MArTA of the Tarente Lights the ancient Mediterranean with its gold, ceramics, statues and funeral objects of great finesse. The museum stands out for the quality of its Greek collections and for a route that clearly links the present city with its past as a major maritime colony.
Place
Campomarino di Maruggio
Campomarino di Maruggio reveals itself by a coastal landscape that dialogues with small urban frames, between seaside breaks and market areas. Walk long between seafront and nearby streets to understand its true tone.
