Taranto is primarily known as an industrial city, but it still offers a fair number of attractions you can visit before you begin your cruise along the coast. The city features the town center, which gives one a real feel for what it was like to live in an aristocratic era. There is also the Aragonese Castle and the Swing Bridge, which runs across the canal from the Big Sea, called “Mar Grande”, all the way to the Little Sea, called “Mar Piccolo.” Marta is a museum you can visit, which showcases an impressive collection of local artifacts, in an age when pottery and goldsmithing were booming. The city has a Greek beginning that dates back to the 8th century BC. It was known as the capital of Magna Graecia at a time when Hellenic colonies became very rich and powerful. Today, Taranto offers a new city with exclusive shops and a wonderful waterfront promenade, where you can take in the magnificent coastal views. Do not miss the chance to taste the Tarantinian cuisine, which places emphasis on seafood, such as mussels and roasted oysters. Once you have grasped the central figure of Taranto, it is time for you to rent a boat and let yourself be lulled and carried by the force of the wind, as you sail.
