Coastline in Puglia - from Peschici to Mattinata

Image
Puglia karstic landscape. Ravine, plateaus, and dolines score the surface of a territory heavily characterised by karstic phenomena with its rich natural habitats and the numerous caves, rupestrian villages, and underground churches, wondrous sites that today narrate centuries of the presence of man, from prehistoric times to modern day. Apulia, unforgettable landscapes and seabeds. Sea cities unveil their hidden charm with alleys and mansions. Here, nightlife, cultural events, art and food act as background for one of the most beautiful and clean sea stretches in Italy. Tourist harbors, landing places and mooring points allow to spend your holidays on board.

Peschici is situated on the north-eastern coast of Gargano promontory, 9 kilometers East from San Menaio, 14 from Rodi Garganico, and 19 km West from Vieste. The town sits over a karst spur facing the sea, with a height of more than 100 meters; the territory features a number of coastal watch towers. Flora includes sectors of Macchia mediterranea and, in the inner areas, Aleppo pines.
