A weekend in Taranto
A weekend is the perfect time to fall in love with Taranto: Saturday devoted to the city, between history and seafood flavours, Sunday to relaxation, between crystal-clear beaches and a dip into the territory. Here's how to spend two unforgettable days in the city of the two seas.
