On the small port of Torre a Mare

Torre a Mare: views, food, and nightlife. This is Bari's quaint neighborhood with its marina

Torre a Mare , considered a district of Bari , is an area slightly detached from the city but reachable by car in less than 10 minutes, specifically taking the Bari towards the south (direction Brindisi).

It is a neighborhood built around a sixteenth-century tower which, in turn, overlooks the local square near the sea.

The historic center of Torre a Mare is very small, yet it is full of many small venues that attract nightlife all year round, but especially during the warmer months.

In fact, many young people and families flock to this area, which, despite being remote, attracts the attention of Bari residents and tourists alike. For example, it's common for residents of Bari to go for a coffee in Torre a Mare when the first warm days arrive, and this becomes even more common with the arrival of summer.

There's no shortage of bars, pubs, restaurants, and trattorias for entertainment, which also draws many tourists to this area and capture the beautiful little harbor that has always characterized Torre a Mare . Also noteworthy is the pier, which you can walk along for a lovely stroll, admiring the scenery and enjoying the scent of the Bari sea.

If you then decide to go to the pier at sunset, the spectacle is guaranteed.
