Brindisi Harbour

If you arrive in Brindisi by boat before maybe hiring a car and touring the surrounding area, your first experience of this fantastic town will be Brindisi’s wonderful natural harbour, which is regarded as one of the safest in the Adriatic.  Brindisi has always been considered as a gateway to the East, and has for centuries occupied a pivotal and important position as a sea link from Italy to Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean.

As Brindisi developed throughout the middle ages, the city forged strong trading links with many other cities throughout the Mediterranean and the Adriatic and grew into a large and prosperous port, as can clearly still be seen by the modern visitor – The sturdy sea-walls and bustling docks still as much in evidence today as they would have been centuries ago.  The natural amphitheatre which Brindisi occupies makes it one of the most picturesque cities in this particular part of Italy, and an essential stopping-off point whether you’re arrive by boat or hire-car.
