Places to see in ( Bari - Italy )
Bari is a port city on the Adriatic Sea, and the capital of southern Italy’s Puglia region. Its mazelike old town, Barivecchia, occupies a headland between 2 harbors. Surrounded by narrow streets, the 11th-century Basilica di San Nicola, a key pilgrimage site, holds some of St. Nicholas’ remains. To the south, the Murat quarter has stately 19th-century architecture, a promenade and pedestrianized shopping areas.
If Lecce is the south’s Florence, Bari is its Bologna, a historic but forward-looking town with a high percentage of young people and migrants lending it vigour. More urban than Lecce and Brindisi, with grander boulevards and better nightlife, Bari supports a large university, an opera house and municipal buildings that shout confidence.
Most travellers skip Bari on their way to Puglia’s big-hitter, Lecce (the towns have a long-standing rivalry, especially over soccer), but Bari doesn’t lack history or culture. The old town contains the bones of St Nicholas (aka Santa Claus) in its Basilica di San Nicola, along with a butch castle and plenty of unfussy trattorias that have the local nosh – cucina barese – down to a simple art. The second-largest town in southern Italy, Bari is a busy port with connections to Greece, Albania and Croatia, and sports an international airport with connections to much of Europe.
Bari is the largest and most important city of Apulia and stands on the Adriatic coast. It's mostly famous for being one of the exit doors of Italy, where travellers leave on ferries for neighboring countries. The city authorities, however, have been trying to raise its tourism profile and awareness of Bari's old town, which has retained its ancient Medieval plan and contains many historic buildings and sites. The old town was the heart of pre-Roman and Roman Bari and it is now possible to find several hip bars and restaurants open from dusk til dawn in this once dark and unsafe zone.
The ancient part of the city, called Bari Vecchia by locals, literally Old Bari, is a beautiful mediaeval neighborhood you should not miss. Take a stroll and get lost in the maze of Bari Vecchia and try not to miss the romanic Basilica of Saint Nicholas with its gold ceiling, its crypt and the magnificent cathedra of Bishop Elias. In the same square, also the Palazzo del Catapano and the Church of Saint Gregory are worth a visit. Even older (but later refurbished in baroque style) and equally interesting is the romanic Cathedral of Saint Sabino. Take a walk along the waterfront, on the top of the old city wallsand pass by the Fortino of Saint Antony, an old fort recently turned into a modern art gallery, and the former Monastery of Saint Scolastica (currently part of the University). The vast majority of the churches in Bari Vecchia are unfortunately closed to tourists. They are open on selected festivities, including Good Friday and the Solemnity of All Saints.
A a small town 20 minutes out of Bari named Adelfia is worth a visit on patron's day. The patron saint of one of its quarters, Montrone, is Saint Trifone. Nov 9 is the start of a three day celebration. In the early evening of Nov 9, a giant beautiful balloon is released which signifies the start of the festival. On the 10th, the statue of San Trifone is brought out of the church and paraded around the town. Bands from all over Italy come and perform on the outdoor stage. Fireworks are displayed throughout the evening to the early morning. The different men's club compete on which club can have the biggest, loudest and spectacular display. Vendors surround the town with goods, food and gifts.
The Saint of the city is Saint Nicholas and is celebrated by the Catholic Church on December 6. In Bari, several masses gather early in the morning (as early as 4am) on December 6. A huge crowd and lots of fast food stands fill the old town through the night. However, the city's main celebration of Saint Nicholas takes place from May 6 to May 8 with historical reconstructions, popular music and a two-day fireworks contest. Pilgrims come from all over the world.
Nice towns to discover around Bari are Matera, Gravina, Martina Franca and Alberobello. Trani (with a truly impressive Cathedral), Molfetta, Giovinazzo and Polignano a Mare are closer to Bari and also worth a visit. There are many direct trains a day. Ticket to Matera or Alberobello is about €4 in one direction.

Gemista, Stuffed Tomatoes and Peppers
Ingredients:
3 onions
8 ripe medium tomatoes
8 round big peppers
1 cup of rice (long grain)
5 tb/spoons chopped parsley
2 small green peppers finely chopped
1 big zucchini grated
Mashed tomatoes (the inside of 8 tomatoes)
1 ½ cups of olive oil
1 Teaspoon of fresh mint finely chopped
1 ½ tb/spoons of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
Cooking Method:
First wash the tomatoes & peppers. Then cut a thin round slice off the top of the tomatoes & peppers with a sharp knife & put them to one side. Use a small spoon to remove the inside part of the tomatoes & the peppers. Try to leave the empty tomatoes as thin as possible but be careful not to damage their skin. Save the inside parts of the tomatoes you have removed, they will be used for the stuffing. Mash them with a blender. Then prepare the stuffing in the following way: heat the olive oil in a cooking pan and saute the onions & chopped peppers until they look golden brown.
Take the pan off the heat & add all the rest of the ingredients. Stir with a spoon & fill the tomatoes & peppers which you have arranged in a pyrex dish or baking pan with the stuffing. Replace the previously saved tops of the tomatoes & peppers. Pour 1 cup of tomato juice into the pan & fill the gaps between the stuffed vegetables with slices of potatoes. Sprinkle with some salt & pepper & bake in a medium oven for approximately 1 and a half hours.
Syrupy Carrot
Ingredients:
1 kg carrots peeled & grated
1 kg suggar
1 glass of water
Juice of one lemon
2 tb/spoons glucose
Some grated walnuts for the top
Cooking Method:
Put all the ingredients together in a large cooking pan except the vanilla & the walnuts. Boil at low heat until the syrup lightly thickens. Take off the heat, add the vanilla essence & stir. When the syrup gets gold preserve in a jar. You can keep it in the refrigerator for about 3 months.
Tyropitakia Cheesepies
Ingredients:
500 gr thin phyllo
(If the phyllo is frozen, place it in the refrigerator to defrost all night)
500 gr feta cheese
2 eggs
¾ cup cream
1 teaspoon of fresh finely chopped mint
½ cup unsalted vegetable butter
¼ teaspoon of pepper
Cooking Method:
Bring phyllo to room temperature (about 3 hours). Put in a blender the cheese, eggs, pepper & cream until blended. The mixture will be thick & slightly lumpy. Add the mint and stir. Using scissors or a sharp serrated knife, cut the phyllo dough longwise into strips 2½ to 3 inches wide. (for most phyllo, this means cutting it into fives strips.) Use two strips together for each cheese pie. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the double strip of phyllo with melted butter. Place 1 teaspoon of the mixture on the end of the strip. Take a corner on one side of the double phyllo strip & fold it up over the cheese, to the other side to make a triangle. Continue until completely folded. Place each trangle as made on a lightly butter baking sheet with the open side down. Brush the top off the triangle very lightly with melted butter. Bake at 180 degrees C for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven wait for some minutes and serve hot.
