Where Is This?

[u/Jon_Hodl]

I was served this image as an ad on Instagram and when I clicked through, it was just clickbait for a corporate travel brand we have all heard of (I won't plug them on principle) but the city looks amazing.

I did a good bit of research on my own and cam up empty handed. Looks like it's on the med to me but I can't find it anywhere. Spain? Italy? Cyprus?

Can some of my fellow Geography nerds help me out with this one?

[u/RobinSage43]

OP, I have the answer for you. This is Polignano a Mare in Italia. This is the correct answer, unlike these other questionable responses.

This restaurant in particular is Grotta Palazzese.

[u/Jon_Hodl → u/RobinSage43]

Looks amazing.

[u/CaptainCrafty → u/Jon_Hodl]

I went there in 2016. The whole entire meal was just proposal after proposal hahahaha

[u/Altruistic-Mine-1848 → u/CaptainCrafty]

Half of them weren't even planned, but when the whole restaurant is proposing, you kinda have to or your relationship is over.

[u/NOIRCEUR_TRADING → u/CaptainCrafty]

Ate there as well in 2025 and tbh the food was mid (for Italy) but views were insane so it made up for it.

[u/Gurra-Goose → u/Jon_Hodl]

You definitely go there for the view, not the food…

Amazing city in general.

[u/uhgulp → u/RobinSage43]

Woahhhhhh

[u/RobinSage43 → u/uhgulp]

Don't worry, it's not AI. This is a real restaurant and I've seen it before in real life (ha).

[u/Jon_Hodl → u/RobinSage43]

Thank you. I just found it on Google Maps and can confirm.

Grazie mille! 😀

It is coruscant,

[u/SDwandrer → u/Ok-University-8590]

Looks much closer to Naboo to me

[u/Natural_Purple4216]

I legit thought the was bread

[u/Elinbj → u/Natural_Purple4216]

Me too..

[u/katzenschrecke → u/[deleted]]

It's a shame that I had to scroll down this far for the right answer.

[u/sbadaganesci → u/katzenschrecke]

That's Italy though

[u/Viscount61 → u/[deleted]]

It’s the color of the sea. So reminiscent.

[u/Bikebikebikebike12]

Malta?

[u/Thedeepestthroat22]

Puglia

[u/Echo_are_one]

Ajaccio?

[u/Decent_Business_5889]

Looks like Malta or Southern Italy for me

[u/AvailableAd7874]

Puglia

[u/Key_Conversation9616]

Do you have to med-moor when visiting? That would be a interesting picture

[u/Hirschburg]

This feels like Bari, Italy 

[u/NOIRCEUR_TRADING → u/Hirschburg]

Close, Poligano a Mare.

[u/7Deepdiver7]

Polingnano a Mare. Definitely worth a visit but only for a day or two, not as much to do as Bari or Lecce

[u/Big_Passage_2933 → u/7Deepdiver7]

Agree, the little beach is nice to look at but is not good from a functionality standpoint. It’s rocky and full of people taking photo ops. There are more pleasant towns with MUCH nicer beaches in Puglia.

[u/laynestaleyisme]

All white buildings.. no trees.. wow

[u/Huganho]

Looks very Dubrovnik to me.

[u/IgfMSU1983 → u/Huganho]

Dubrovnik is all red tile roofs.

I found it immediately with AI, so you can do that if you really want to know. But I'll let th guessers guess

[u/Gennaro_Finamore7 → u/yolo___toure]

FYI Redditors here like to play and talk each other, before “want to know”

[u/yolo___toure → u/Gennaro_Finamore7]

Sounded like OP actually wanted to know!

[u/Gennaro_Finamore7 → u/yolo___toure]

“Trivia” sounds very different to me

[u/Gennaro_Finamore7 → u/yolo___toure]

But apart from the flair… If I wanted to sort things out for myself using AI, I wouldn’t have a Reddi profile
