A MUST visit!

The cliff trail is also accessible on gravel. It includes an initial dirt/cliff section starting from Via Fior di Loto and continuing to the small beach near the boat dock. Continue on the paved road until you reach the new cliff trail just after the Le Maree resort, and continue to Via Mormore, which offers a fantastic view. 💪🌊🔝

The origins of the fortress of Taranto date back to Byzantine times. The current appearance of the complex dates back to Ferdinand of Aragon, who had the outdated castle converted into a modern fortress at the end of the 15th century. The fortifications were further reinforced by the Spanish in the 16th century. At the end of the 19th century, the Aragonese Castle passed to the Italian Navy, which still owns the complex today.

Taranto's old town lies on an island between the Mare Piccolo and Mare Grande, connected to the mainland by only two bridges. Many people here still make their living from fishing and the oyster beds of the Mare Piccolo. The sea is present everywhere, even in the paintings of street artists.

track not suitable for road bikes, ok for mountain bikes, acceptable for gravel, often used by walkers.
