Where to stay in San Giorgio
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
San Giorgio runs as a narrow coastal strip between the SS 16 and the water. That geometry decides the stay: the beach and the cove at Cala San Giorgio lie at the seaward edge, while Bari's reception desks are a tangenziale run away through the exit signed Bari San Giorgio. Book here for the water, in Bari for the desk.

About San Giorgio
What are the main landmarks in San Giorgio?
San Giorgio keeps little that is monumental. Torre della Carnosa, a square tower of the Kingdom of Naples coastal watch line, stood on this shore and is destroyed. The chiesa di San Benedetto holds the parish, which sits in the XII vicariato of the Bari-Bitonto archdiocese alongside Japigia and Torre a Mare.
What is the history of San Giorgio?
San Giorgio was Triggiano's coast before it was Bari's. The comune held this littoral as its marina, and Law 17 of 1934 detached it along with Torre Pelosa, now Torre a Mare, and handed both to Bari. Two council resolutions in January 1970 then folded San Giorgio into the V circoscrizione with Japigia and Torre a Mare.
Municipio 1 replaced that frame in 2014.
Where is San Giorgio?
San Giorgio takes the stretch of the south-eastern coast of Bari between Japigia to the north and Torre a Mare to the south, with Triggiano to the south-west.
