Bari Port Ferry Overview
Bari is the capital city of the province of Bari and of the Apulia region, on the Adriatic sea, in Italy. It is the second most important economic centre of mainland Southern Italy after Naples, and is well known as a port and university city, as well as the city of Saint Nicholas.
Bari is made up of four different urban sections. To the north is the closely built old town on the peninsula between two modern harbours. To the south is the Murattiano section, the modern heart of the city, which is laid out on a rectangular gird-plan with a promenade on the sea, and the major shopping district. Surrounding this center is the modern Bari which is the result of chaotic development during the 1960s and 1970s over the old suburbs that had developed along roads splaying outwards from gates in the city walls. In addition, the outer suburbs have developed rapidly during the 1990s.
Located in the capital of Italy's Puglia region, the Port of Bari is one of the most important ports in the region. It stands as a gateway between Italy and the Middle East and Balkan regions. There are two separate harbours in the city of Bari. Near the old city, the Old Port is used for small vessels and fishing boats, while the New Port is reserved for large passenger ferries that make crossing to Greece and Albania and houses 2 fully equipped ferry Terminals. |
