Another day off the bikes in the beautiful city of Trani. Trani is a smallish coastal city, again a touristy spot, but not over the top. The main industries here appear to be tourism and fishing. There is an attractive port filled with fishing boats, sailboats and yachts as well as many restaurants, shops, bars and people on shore. Breakwaters have been built which calms the water and people use them as beaches except it’s not as comfortable or easy as sand. The old city is full of narrow cobblestone streets with layers of homes, terraces and shops. There are many old churches, no surprise, but the biggest one is on the waterfront and notable for it’s Romanesque style. We visited this as well as another castello also on the waterfront built in the 13th century. George and I decided to go for another swim in the Adriatic as it was a hot day and the people watching is irresistible.

Fresh off the boat shops were all along the sea wall. This is a working port.

Refreshing!
