Torre a Mare
Torre a Mare is a lovely area of Bari which is now part of the city's neighbourhoods.
Taken by storm by young people, especially in hot periods, this area is very suitable for anyone who wants to spend time in front of a pretty marina in the company of a drink or a coffee. For families, however, there is a beautiful square built around a sixteenth-century tower, symbol of the Torre a Mare district . It is 10 minutes away along the Bari ring road towards the south.
Holy spirit
Santo Spirito is another neighborhood in the northern area of Bari that has not only a lovely marina but also its own seafront , not only by people from Bari but also by tourists. A bit like Torre a Mare, Santo Spirito also enjoys clubs and a fashionable atmosphere thanks to the numerous commercial activities present right on the coast , allowing anyone to enjoy the scent of the sea perhaps in front of a typical Apulian dish .
