Welcome to Taranto
The city has an ancient history dating back to the eighth century BC! The archaeological findings place it even in the Bronze and Iron Age, then 3500 BC. ! You will be able to penetrate into the "bowels of the earth", cross the "underground passages", visit the very important "local museums", witnesses of a time that was!
You will be able to see the various military bases. Make excursions by boat, thrilling to the sight of dolphins and spend a few hours on the island of San Pietro in the Cheradi islands. Taste the wines and local dishes. Renting a car you will be able to reach the waterfall in the beautiful Gravina di Riggio!

Selfie at the monuments, boat trip to the dolphins, visit Duomo and Aragonese Castle, shopping!
You will be able to arrive with your boat at the tourist port of Taranto, or from the airport of Brindisi which is closer than the airport of Bari. It will be exceptional to be able to see the island on which stands the old town and the Aragonese Castle. If you're lucky you'll be able to see the Ponte Girevole (swing bridge) that connects the remaining nineteenth-century city in action (if there is the event is reported on the web) while to your left remains the small port of the fishermen who weave their nets.

Boat trip to the Cheradi and waterfall in the Riggio's Ravine
Few people know the Cheradi islands near Taranto, consisting of the island of San Pietro on which you can spend a few hours quietly in the sun, and the island of San Paolo with its Pygmy Lighthouse! Already the name says a lot about its greatness! And the Fort de Laclos, you'll find out on which of the two islands it is located!
After a typical fish lunch, you can drive to the Gravina di Riggio and admire the waterfall! It may not be there in summer, so its visit is recommended in spring.
