No visit to Taranto is complete without savouring its culinary delights. The city is famous for its seafood, particularly 'cozze tarantine' — mussels cooked in a spicy tomato and garlic sauce, best enjoyed with a glass of local Primitivo wine. For a sweet treat, try 'cartellate', crispy honey-drizzled pastries often served at festivals. Shopping enthusiasts will love exploring the boutique-lined streets of the old town, where you can find handcrafted ceramics and lace. To get around, the city centre is easily walkable, but taxis are available for longer distances, like a trip to the nearby beaches of San Vito or Campomarino.
