Vieste: The Jewel of Gargano Between Sea and History
Vieste is one of the most beloved destinations in Puglia, perched on the Gargano promontory and overlooking crystal-clear waters. The ancient village, clinging to a rocky promontory, offers spectacular views and an authentic atmosphere. Golden beaches and white cliffs create a unique landscape where history and nature blend in perfect harmony.
Enchanting Beaches and Breathtaking Views
Vieste’s beaches are among the most beautiful in Puglia: from the long sandy expanse of Pizzomunno to hidden coves that can only be reached by boat. The sea caves, sculpted by the wind and the sea, are a true spectacle waiting to be explored. The Vieste Lighthouse and the Swabian Castle offer panoramic views that embrace the sea and the rugged coastline.
The Flavors of Gargano: Authentic Cuisine and Hospitality
Vieste’s cuisine is a tribute to the flavors of Gargano: dishes based on fresh fish, handmade orecchiette pasta, and local vegetables that tell the story of the region’s farming and seafaring traditions. In the restaurants of the old town and along the seafront, you can savor specialties like tiella di riso, patate e cozze, always accompanied by a glass of Apulian wine and the genuine hospitality of the locals.
How to Get to Vieste
Vieste is easily reached:
- By car: along the Gargano coastal road (SS89) or the expressway from Foggia.
