The Southern Italy is one of the best destinations for the holidays: for the beaches, among the finest of the Mediterranean, the clear sea, the sunny climate, the unspoiled nature and the fascinating cities. If you are looking for a full and intense holiday, however, you must choose the Puglia, the heel of the Italian boot, also known as Apulia.
The variety of landscapes in this region leaves without breath: sandy beaches and jagged cliffs, baroque cities and vast olive groves, white trulli and impressive castles and nature reserves. Not to mention one of the main attractions of this land: its fantastic food. Exploring the Apulia is like living several holidays in one.
Among all the beauties of Apulia, there is one particular area, located north of the region, which encompasses in the same area 176 km of coastline, including beaches of sand and rock, faraglioni, mountains, lakes, one of the largest forests of Europe, nature reserves, sea caves, archaeological heritages, the Unesco World Heritage sites, towns perched on the sea and medieval villages. It is the Gargano, the spur of the boot, an area bathed in sunlight and surrounded by sea, rich in landscapes totally different from each other. Just 12 km from its coast there is even an archipelago of islands, the wonderful Tremiti Islands, known as the pearls of the Adriatic Sea. The Gargano is a real casket of treasures to be discovered and admired.
