Bari and ferry service to Albania

Bari Cathedral in the centre of the old town is understated and is very big inside. The crypts are renovated and deep down a Roman period paved road. The church of St Nicholas (Father Christmas connection) is most popular as the Saint's tomb is here. A castle has Norman connection. Capital of Puglia and ferry services to Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Greece. It is a cosmopolitan town and the Olive Tree hostel, owned by an Australian named David, is a great cheap overnight stay.
