It&#8217;s a real detour: allow a good full day of driving round trip from Bari, which is why our 7-day itinerary omits it. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"avant-de-partir\">Before you go: airport, car, and best time<\/h2>\n<h3>Bari or Brindisi: which airport to choose<\/h3>\n<p>As with the 7-day itinerary, <strong>landing in Bari and departing from Brindisi<\/strong> (or vice versa) avoids an unnecessary round trip at the end of the tour. See our <a href=\"https:\/\/lespouilles.blog\/en\/bari-or-brindisi-which-airport-should-you-choose-for-puglia\/\">Bari or Brindisi comparison<\/a> for detailed connections. <\/p>\n<h3>Should you rent a car?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, without hesitation. The Gargano loop in particular is not feasible by public transport within a reasonable timeframe: connections between Vieste, Peschici, and Monte Sant\u2019Angelo are infrequent and designed for locals, not for a short tourist circuit. <\/p>\n<div class=\"apulia-tip\"><span class=\"apulia-tip-label\">To anticipate<\/span><br \/>\nSeveral historic centers on this tour are protected by a <strong>ZTL<\/strong> (limited traffic zone) with automatic cameras: Ostuni, Lecce, Otranto, and Gallipoli have fairly well-documented schedules (details further down in this article). Trani, Vieste, Peschici, and Monte Sant\u2019Angelo also apply traffic regulations in their historic centers, especially during the summer season: precise times vary from year to year and should be checked on-site or with your accommodation upon arrival.\n<\/div>\n<h3>What is the best time for this tour?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>May-June and September<\/strong> remain the best compromise, as for the rest of Puglia. Gargano, being more wooded and hilly than Salento, remains pleasant to visit a little later in the season thanks to the shade of the Umbra Forest. July-August remains very busy on the beaches of Vieste and Peschici, among the most famous in Southern Italy.  <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jour-1-bari\">Day 1: Bari, the Gateway to Puglia<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Bari Vecchia<\/strong>, the old town nestled between the port and Corso Vittorio Emanuele, can be explored on foot in a few hours: the Basilica of San Nicola, San Sabino Cathedral, and, via Arco Basso, the tables where locals still hand-make their orecchiette. In the late afternoon, the lungomare is perfect for a stroll to the Swabian Castle. <\/p>\n<p><strong>To plan:<\/strong> the old town is entirely pedestrian; it&#8217;s best to park along Corso Vittorio Emanuele or in a paid parking lot in the city center.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for this stop: <a href=\"https:\/\/lespouilles.blog\/en\/explorer\/bari\/\">complete guide to Bari<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lespouilles.blog\/en\/explorer\/experience-baris-traditions-through-its-famous-orecchiette\/\">walk through the old town to discover homemade pasta<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jour-2-trani\">Day 2: Trani and Castel del Monte<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lespouilles.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Trani-Les-Pouilles-Puglia.jpg\" alt=\"Romanesque Cathedral of Trani by the Adriatic Sea\"><figcaption>Trani Cathedral, built directly on the waterfront.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>From Bari, allow about 45 km and 45 minutes of driving to reach <strong>Trani<\/strong>. Its <strong>Romanesque cathedral<\/strong>, built of light limestone directly on the sea, is one of Puglia&#8217;s most photographed sights. The Swabian castle and the still-active port complete a leisurely morning visit.  <\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon, head to <strong>Castel del Monte<\/strong> (about 40 km and 40 to 45 minutes drive from Trani), the octagonal fortress built by Emperor Frederick II in the 13<sup>th<\/sup> century and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1996. Its perfect geometry \u2013 eight towers around an octagonal courtyard \u2013 continues to intrigue historians about its exact function. <\/p>\n<p>From Castel del Monte, head towards Gargano for the night: allow a good hour and a half to two hours of driving depending on your base (Vieste or Peschici), via Manfredonia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"apulia-tip\"><span class=\"apulia-tip-label\">To anticipate<\/span>Trani&#8217;s historic center has regulated traffic during the season: it&#8217;s best to park along the waterfront or in one of the designated parking lots on the immediate outskirts. Castel del Monte requires an entrance ticket; parking is at the foot of the hill, with a shuttle or a few minutes&#8217; walk to the castle. <\/div>\n<p>To prepare for this stop: <a href=\"https:\/\/lespouilles.blog\/en\/explorer\/trani\/\">guide to Trani<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jour-3-vieste-peschici\">Day 3: Vieste and Peschici<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lespouilles.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Peschici-Les-Pouilles-Puglia.jpg\" alt=\"White village of Peschici perched on a Gargano cliff\"><figcaption>Peschici, a white village perched facing the Adriatic, with architecture similar to the Maghreb coasts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Vieste<\/strong> is the seaside capital of Gargano: a white historic center perched on a rocky promontory, dominated by the Swabian castle, and especially the <strong>Pizzomunno<\/strong>, a 25-meter limestone monolith planted directly on the main beach \u2013 Gargano&#8217;s most iconic image. The white cliffs framing the town can also be explored by boat, with numerous excursions to the surrounding sea caves departing from the port. <\/p>\n<p>In the late morning or early afternoon, head to <strong>Peschici<\/strong> (about 20 km, thirty minutes along the coast). This white village, clinging to a cliff facing the sea, is distinguished by its cubic houses of Mediterranean influence and its stepped alleys leading down to the port. <\/p>\n<p><strong>To plan:<\/strong> in high season, the beaches of Vieste (Pizzomunno, Baia delle Zagare a little further south) are very busy; arriving early simplifies parking. As in Trani, both historic centers apply traffic regulations during the season: parking on the outskirts and continuing on foot remains the simplest solution. <\/p>\n<p>To prepare for this stop: <a href=\"https:\/\/lespouilles.blog\/en\/explorer\/vieste\/\">guide to Vieste<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lespouilles.blog\/en\/explorer\/peschici\/\">guide to Peschici<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jour-4-monte-santangelo\">Day 4: Monte Sant\u2019Angelo and Umbra Forest<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lespouilles.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Monte-SantAngelo-Les-Pouilles-Puglia.jpeg\" alt=\"White alleys of Monte Sant'Angelo overlooking the Gargano plain\"><figcaption>Monte Sant\u2019Angelo, a pilgrimage site classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>From Peschici, allow about 60 km and just over an hour&#8217;s drive to reach <strong>Monte Sant\u2019Angelo<\/strong>, perched at over 800 meters above sea level in the heart of Gargano.
