Taranto!

Has anyone visited Taranto?  Have read really mixed reviews so trying to decide whether to explore on my own or to do an excursion!

There is a shuttle bus from the ship to the town. Used to be free but may be payable now. You get dropped off next to the castle which has free tours We did this tour then just had a wander around the town. Just cross the bridge and there are some nice shops and cafes along the pedestrian precinct. Lovely to sit at a pavement cafe and enjoy a very reasonably priced coffee Some nice architecture. Cathedral & museum worth a look.

Shuttle bus to town and have a wander around the shops, it's a nice little place.
