Bonjour mes chéris! A Maritimes Tours guide here, ready to whisk you, six delightful foodies, away to the sun-drenched shores of Taranto, Italy, this spring! Imagine: three couples, three times the fun, and three times the delicious discoveries. Our adventure will focus on the culinary heart of Taranto, exploring its vibrant markets and savoring its unique flavors. Prepare for a trip that will tantalize your taste buds and warm your hearts!

The weather in Taranto during spring is generally mild and pleasant, perfect for strolling through the historic city center and enjoying al fresco dining. Expect sunny days with temperatures averaging between 15-20°C (59-68°F), with occasional gentle breezes from the Ionian Sea. Pack light layers – you’ll want to be comfortable exploring.

Our culinary journey begins at the bustling Mercato Ittico, Taranto’s fish market. The air buzzes with activity, the sounds of chattering vendors and the cries of gulls overhead. Here, you'll witness a vibrant display of fresh seafood: glistening anchovies, plump mussels, succulent octopus – all waiting to be transformed into culinary masterpieces. Expect to spend around €30-€50 per couple on fresh seafood to prepare yourselves some delicious meals during your stay.

Next, we'll delve into the heart of Taranto’s culinary traditions. Cicchetti, small savory snacks, are a must-try. Think fried seafood, olives, cheeses, and crusty bread – perfect for a casual lunch (€15-€25 per couple). For dinner, indulge in a traditional Taranto feast, featuring cozze ripiene (stuffed mussels), calamari fritti (fried squid), and perhaps even a pasta con le cozze (pasta with mussels). Expect to spend around €50-€70 per couple for a memorable dining experience.

Beyond the food, Taranto boasts a rich cultural heritage. Explore the charming Borgo Umbertino, with its elegant architecture. Marvel at the ancient Greek ruins and the Aragonese Castle, standing as silent witnesses to Taranto’s long and storied past. You can easily explore these sites at your own pace, with the cost essentially limited to any souvenirs you choose to purchase.

The people of Taranto are warm and welcoming, always ready with a smile and a hearty "Buongiorno!" Music plays a vital role in their daily life, often drifting from open windows and adding to the lively atmosphere of the city. The sound of the sea lapping against the shore provides a constant, soothing backdrop to your explorations.

Transportation within Taranto is easy and affordable. You can use the local bus system (€2 per ride, per person) or simply enjoy pleasant walks to explore the city's charming neighborhoods. We'll arrange private transport to and from the airport and for any day trips you might choose (€150 total for all six of you).

During your stay, you’ll likely encounter olive trees, a symbol of the region, and perhaps even catch sight of a friendly stray cat, a common sight in the city. The architecture is a beautiful blend of Greek, Roman, and Aragonese styles, making each corner a unique photographic opportunity.

Total estimated cost for the trip (excluding flights and accommodation, which we can help you arrange): €1000-€1400 for all three couples. This includes food, local transportation, and the private transfer mentioned earlier.

So, are you ready to embark on this delicious adventure? Let's create unforgettable memories together in beautiful Taranto!
