Taranto Port Reviews

not much to see here

Dirty

Took the shuttle bus into the centre. Had a quick tour of the fort and strolled into centre of town. The port of call seems to be under-developed as a tourist/cruise stop. This was apparent by the lack of souvenir shops etc. and mooring at what is clearly a working dock evident by the stacks of wind turbine blades on the quayside awaiting shipment.

This was probably our least favourite. Had to walk a bit to get to the nicer part of tow. Not much to offer.

Haven't found it very interesting, the old city is too run down for my taste.

Loved it, we walked about the town ourselves.

Short stay in this port. Had booked a dolphin watching trip, but this was cancelled due to "bad" weather. Had to catch shuttle bus to town or you couldn't leave the port. The place left me unimpressed, until the gelato waiting for the shuttle, which definitely added a star. It was heavenly!

Shuttle from ship to town only took you a short distance. Was a bit of walking to get to the hear of the city. Was very nice once we were there though.

Rented cars and drove up to Alberobello and saw a beautiful old town with very unique architecture.
