Incontournable

Vieste

⭐ 9.8

Gargano’s seaside capital, between white cliffs and turquoise waters.

In the old town, a stone near the cathedral—the Chianca Amara—commemorates the sack of Vieste by Dragut Reis in 1554. On the beach, the white limestone monolith of Pizzomunno, about 25 m high, is the symbol of the town. Along the coast, the trabucchi—old wooden fishing machines—recall its fishing past. Try ciambòtt’ (fish soup), orecchiette with cime di rapa, and fennel taralli.

À PROPOS DE Vieste

Vieste is the most iconic destination in Gargano, in northern Puglia. Set on a rocky promontory overlooking the Adriatic, the town combines spectacular beaches, limestone cliffs, sea caves, and a medieval historic center.

Very popular in summer, Vieste offers a lively atmosphere while preserving a remarkable ancient heritage. It’s an excellent starting point for exploring Gargano National Park.

In the old town, a stone near the cathedral—the Chianca Amara—commemorates the sack of Vieste by Dragut Reis in 1554. On the beach, the white limestone monolith of Pizzomunno, about 25 m high, is the symbol of the town. Along the coast, the trabucchi—old wooden fishing machines—recall its fishing past. Try ciambòtt’ (fish soup), orecchiette with cime di rapa, and fennel taralli.
