Landscapes of Gargano

Termoli, Tremiti islands, Lake Lesina, Vieste, Gargano National Park, Peschici


From a biological point of view the Gargano National Park, including Gargano promontory and the Tremiti islands, a protected marine area which is a true paradise for divers, represents an island separated from Italy. The Foresta Umbra, its wetlands and its moorlands, its caves, its sinkholes, its particular flora, its prehistoric and archaeological sites make it a unique place to visit outside the usual tourist flows.
We offer a full immersion in nature to enjoy unique experiences such as exploring the millenary Foresta Umbra, observing and photographing wild orchids that are unique in the world, encountering wildlife such as badgers, hedgehogs, wild cats, foxes, roe deer and even wolves, watching hawks and nocturnal birds of prey, as well as exploring the seabed of the Diomedee islands, or walking along via Micaelica, part of via Francigena of Southern Italy, in the footsteps of ancient pilgrims and crusaders, with the possibility of staying in hotels or ancient masserie, holiday farms or bed&breakfast, in deep contact with nature and local traditions.
Hiking and biking, speleological and underwater explorations, as well as classes in local cooking and traditions are only a part of our proposals that include visits to the salt pans of Margherita di Savoia, a nature reserve of unique wetland in the Mediterranean, which is a perfect place for bird-watching because a great variety of birds use to nest there, including pink flamingos. This tour through the largest salt pan in Europe and the second largest salt pan in the world also includes a visit to the Salt Pans Museum, as well as eco-educational workshops, suitable and exciting not only for children and teenagers, but also for adults. A full-immersion holiday in nature, history and art in the spirit of eco-sustainable and high-quality tourism.
