The Gargano: A Region to Explore Between Nature and Culture
The Gargano is a region that will surprise you and give you a true local experience.
Nature lovers will appreciate the Gargano National Park, as well as the Umbra Forest, a beech forest and protected areas that house an extraordinary diversity of animal and plant life.
Well-equipped trails and dirt paths are perfect for hiking and mountain biking excursions.
The coastal area, with the iconic towns of Vieste, Peschici, and Rodi Garganico, offers incredibly fine sandy beaches as well as towering limestone cliffs that hide stunning and unforgettable sea caves, accessible through boat tours.
Not far from the coast, we can reach the Tremiti Islands archipelago by ferry, with its incredible crystal-clear waters.
The Gargano’s Food and Wine: A Unique Sensory Experience
For passionate food and wine tourists, as well as those curious to discover local cuisine, Gargano offers many renowned specialties, such as:
- Extra virgin olive oil, produced from the numerous olive trees in the countryside, following strict cultivation and production guidelines, including the local “DOP Gargano” variety,
- Caciocavallo Podolico, a hard cheese made from the milk of Podolica cows, typically raised in the pastures,
- The typical dish “Fave e Cicoria,” also featuring the local variety of “Fava di Carpino,” smaller than the traditional fava, with a very flavorful pulp, which can be eaten with the skin.
- The sea offers a wide variety of fish, where we can distinguish bluefish and shellfish.
- Among the wines, we have Nero d’Avola and Verdeca.
- Citrus fruits and liqueurs made with the DOP varieties of orange and late-season lemon.
