Unattended parking area located on a rocky promontory overlooking the sea, adjacent to a small beach resort and not far from the town center. Overnight parking is not permitted. To get to the car park: from Monopoli, cross the town, pass the old bridge about 1km on the right.

Parking lot with a stunning sea view, signs prohibiting overnight parking everywhere. We stayed two nights and no one said anything. They're tolerant. I recommend it.
Free parking with a spectacular view, close to the center. We stopped for the night with other campers, but camping or overnight parking is not permitted.

Excellent solution 50 meters from the beach and 500 meters from the center.

The best you can get! Gorgeous sea, beautiful town, cool and breezy at night, there are 2 fountains nearby. The most important thing is to avoid camping because otherwise the fun ends.

Really very nice place. There is a sign forbidding camping but not parking, in fact in addition to us there were at least 15 other campers parked. Spectacular view, monachile blade reachable in 10 minutes on foot.
Breathtaking view, coves nearby, you can't camp but it's worth it for the magnificent landscape, quiet area obviously being a parking lot, there is no water and electricity.
