About Taranto
Taranto is a port city in Puglia, in the heel of southern Italy, founded by the Spartans and once a leading city of Magna Graecia. It sits between two seas, the Mar Grande and the Mar Piccolo, with the old town on a small island linked by a swing bridge. Cruise ships berth at Molo San Cataldo, where a pedestrian route leads passengers into the city.
The old town, the seafront Aragonese Castle and the Cathedral of San Cataldo are close by, and the National Archaeological Museum holds rich Greek finds. Excursions head to the trulli of Alberobello and the Itria Valley.
