    • 30 miles from Polignano a Mare

  • Brindisi Airport (BDS) – near southern Puglia (Salento region)

    • 48 miles from Polignano a Mare

United Airlines has a direct flight from Newark (EWR) to Bari (BRI) starting spring 2026. 

Additional flight options:

Most guests will connect through Rome (FCO) or Milan (MXP/LIN), then take a short flight to Bari or Brindisi.


Some European cities (London, Paris, Frankfurt, etc.) also have direct flights to Bari or Brindisi.

Additionally, you can easily reach Bari by direct train from Naples (about 3 hrs 50 min) or Rome (about 4 hrs 15 min).

Getting Around

Transportation will be provided to and from all three events from each designated hotel.


In Puglia (unlike the rest of Italy, which can usually be easily navigated by train), it is recommended to get a rental car to travel. If you’d like to take a transfer from the airport in lieu of a rental car, here are two reputable options to use: Blu Garage and Antico Viaggio. Again, we will provide transportation to/from our events!
