General presentation
Gargano et Vieste
Promontory woody Puglia, between white cliffs, ancient forest, marine villages, shrines and Tremiti islands.
The discovery of Gargano and Vieste revolves around Vieste, Foresta Umbra and Peschici. The stay thus alternates between the coast, forests, natural spaces and heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: slow roads and weather-dependent boats. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Vieste
Vieste between coastal animation and areas of urban depth that require slowing down to be read. The docks, stairs and perspectives towards the Gulf make up a clear pattern. We understand the space better by advancing in a spontaneous order, then returning to a second axis.
Nature
Foresta Umbra
The Foresta Umbra The path continuously changes according to the height of the foliage, the slope and the width of the trail. The experience works when each section is allowed to impose its tempo.
Place
Peschici
In Peschici, the transitions between old neighborhood, cliff and port area give a very lively visual geography. The sloping streets accentuate the dialogue between houses and horizon. One quickly perceives a seaside identity built by topography, not only by monuments.
Nature
Monte Sant'Angelo
Monte Sant的Angelo combines historical centre and reliefs that require a panoramic reading of the surroundings. Highly visual points arise when you cross some street corridors. It is a route of contrasts: interior volume, escarpment, distant view, then back to detail.
