Guided tour of Taranto through the two seas:

The historic city of Taranto, often referred to as the “City of the Two Seas,” is one of Southern Italy’s most ancient and fascinating destinations. Founded by Spartan colonists in the 8th century BC, it played a key role in the history of Magna Graecia and later became an important Roman naval base. Its unique geography — between the Mar Grande and the Mar Piccolo — has shaped the city’s culture and identity for centuries. Today, visitors can discover a captivating blend of Greek, Roman, medieval, and baroque heritage, especially in the atmospheric old town, set on a small island and characterized by narrow streets, noble palaces, ancient churches, and beautiful sea views. A guided exploration, complemented by a scenic boat excursion and followed by a traditional Apulian lunch, offers a unique perspective on Taranto’s rich history and coastal landscape.
