Sitting just by the shores of the Adriatic Sea, Bari is a magical coastal town that also serves as the capital of Puglia. Due to its strategic geography, it s a convenient connecting point for people coming from or heading out to Croatia, Greece, and Albania. The best thing to do in Bari is to soak in some culture at Bari Vecchia (or Old Bari), where winding streets and alleyways will have you enchanted at every turn. If you re feeling hungry, Bari is also known for its fresh seafood, most of which come straight from the city s fishermen who can be seen selling fresh fare at the Porto Vecchia oysters, sea urchins, and octopi at the ready!
