Gargano Coast
A paradise of beauty, made of golden beaches, mysterious caves, villages overlooking the sea, pine-covered cliffs, towers and ancient trabucchi. The Gargano Coast enjoys a landscape rich in biodiversity and charm. One of the best ways to explore this stretch of coastline is by taking a boat tour.
Starting in southern Gargano, from Mattinata to Vieste, you will find yourself in a place brimming with natural beauty and unspoiled magic.
Past Vieste, the landscape becomes less rugged, without losing its atmosphere. Continuing toward Rodi Garganico, the coast gets less steep, but its colors and nature continue to mesmerize, thanks to the secret caves and the incredible colors of the sea.

Hiking in the Gargano area
The Gargano is an area that deserves to be explored slowly and thoroughly, therefore on foot. There are, in fact, over 500 km of trails, from those within the Foresta Umbra, to the Via Francigena.
Even the Sentiero dei Trabucchi (Path of the Trabucchi), which goes from Peschici to Vieste, is full of scenic wonders and enchanting views.
Another interesting hike is the Bosco Quarto loop trail. A forest full of turkey oaks, beeches, maples, as well as many varieties of birds. Moreover, during the hike you can stop at several farms that produce farm-to-table specialties.
These are just a few ideas, of course there are plenty of other hiking trails we can show you!
