Polignano a Mare is a town in northern Puglia waiting to be explored this summer.

Let’s be honest - a small part of travelling is all about doing it for the gram. Whether it’s TikTok or Instagram, social media has become one of the biggest sources of travel inspiration.

From romantic escapes and family holidays to girls’ trips and milestone celebrations, picture-perfect destinations often find their way onto our travel wish lists long before we can afford them.

While travel is ultimately about creating memories and experiencing new cultures, there’s no denying that capturing stunning photos plays a role too.

And with summer in the Northern Hemisphere in full swing, millions of travellers, including South Africans, are planning their next getaway.
