Landing at Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport puts you within an hour's ride of the historic seaside town of Monopoli. Hiring a scooter, motorcycle or quad bike is the perfect way to explore the narrow cobblestone streets and winding alleyways of the ancient part of town. Wander through the shaded porticos as you make your way to the imposing Monopoli Castle with its distinctive cylindrical towers dating back to the days when Monopoli was an important fortified coastal town. Don't miss the chance to climb the castle's towers for panoramic views over the city and sparkling blue Adriatic sea. When you're ready to hit the open road, head south along the scenic coastal drive to discover some of Puglia's best beaches. The soft white sands and crystalline waters of Spiaggia Porto Ghiacciolo make an idyllic spot for swimming and sunbathing. Or for more seclusion, pack a picnic and ride to the rugged coves around Capitolo Beach where you can while away an afternoon under the Mediterranean sun. No trip to Monopoli is complete without sampling the delicious local cuisine. Be sure to stop at an authentic trattoria to feast on Puglia's famous orecchiette pasta and buttery burrata cheese washed down with a glass or two of Primitivo wine. With so much to see and do in and around Monopoli, having your own set of wheels is the best way to make the most of your time. Whether you're looking to explore every nook and cranny of the Old Town, hit the open road in search of deserted beaches or simply soak up la dolce vita as you zip between cafés and trattorias, motorcycle and scooter hire gives you the freedom to discover Monopoli your way.
