9Polignano a Mare, Italy
Perched high above the Adriatic Sea, Polignano a Mare looks like it was carved straight out of limestone cliffs.
Balconies hang precariously over deep blue water, while the famous Lama Monachile beach sits dramatically between rock walls below the town. Narrow lanes, white façades, and poetic sea views make Polignano one of southern Italy’s most photogenic villages.
