The Gargano and the Umbra Forest: between the sea and the villages

A walking tour through the most authentic heart of the Gargano, amidst the sea, ancient forests and villages steeped in history. This itinerary takes you through one of the most stunning regions of southern Italia, a promontory that encompasses a wide variety of landscapes: from the white cliffs overlooking the Adriatic to the fairy-tale woods of the Foresta Umbra, right through to the ancient olive groves and small villages where unique folk and culinary traditions endure. From Rodi Garganico to Monte Sant’Angelo, the route unfolds over seven stages, allowing you to discover the deepest soul of the Gargano. Along the route, you’ll encounter sea cliffs, long beaches, trabucchi, monumental trees, prehistoric remains and the spectacular colours of the autumn foliage in the Foresta Umbra. The Gargano cuisine and the warmth of the local communities make the experience even more special.
