Taranto Travel Guide
Italy
Taranto is a city of 181,082 people on Italy’s southern coast, on the Ionian Sea. It is in the Europe/Rome time zone and uses Taranto-Grottaglie Airport (TAR) for air travel.
Taranto’s nearby coast does not have any named notable beaches within 40 kilometres. Travellers looking for a beach should therefore check locations beyond that radius when planning day trips.
