Vieste

Al Trabucco da Mimì
It's crazy to suggest "not eating" if you're recommending a restaurant. But, I would suggest a cocktail plus a couple of nibbles. Here it's all about the view.

Riserva naturale della Foresta Umbra
The forests of Gargano and Umbra are often defined as "the kingdom of biodiversity." In fact, even if the Gargano represents only 0.7% of the national territory, it holds 40% of the Italian flora and 70% of the bird species nesting in the country!

Il Trabucco da Elia
It is recommended you book this in advance, so you can sit outside and enjoy a breathtaking sunset! As for favorites, try the Insalata Di Polipo E Cozze, Pasto Amaro E Limoncello, or Pescato Del Giorno.

Pizzomunno
Standing at 82 feet, this monolith has become the symbol of Gargano town's charm. To see it from a bit higher up, head to Via Bracco located in the historic center that goes from the Castello Svevo to Piazzetta Petrone.

Carretto Vacanze
No one is warmer than the owners Giacinto and Francesca. It's just a 3-minute walk to the beach too. For an Italian B&B, you will notice just how modern, clean, and large the rooms are.

Polignano a Mare

Fcazz e Birr
If you're looking to grab a quick bite on the cheap, look no further. Try the warm and fresh focaccia or the panzerotti.

Grotta Palazzese
A funny note, but a very relevant one. There is a dress code. So even if you're traveling for a weekend and it's blazing hot, pack some formal attire.

Terrazzamenti Via Nardelli
If you truly want to eat farm-to-table, head inland and explore some of the stays away from the coast. Terrazzamenti Via Nardelli is a great place to do a sunset wine tasting and grab a bite to eat.

Pizzeria Casa Pinto
Try the figs, capiccolo, fior de latte and a puglian cheese pizza. If you get there late you still don't need to worry about being a walk-in.
See More
Masseria Parco della Grava
The poolside bar might be one of the stay's greatest attractions. It's lovely. While the location does do breakfast, other meals will require a short trip into Cisternino.

Grotta Sfondata
Try reaching the cave by kayak. You can enter at the Port of Rodi Garganico or Spiaggia Camp. Watch out for the incoming large boats that frequent in and out all day.

Trattoria Nonna Tetti
It's a little hidden gem, but not hidden enough. Get your main course order in as soon as you can because the kitchen does get backed up here.
See More
Mulino d'Acqua Beach
Access via the camping village and make sure to wear some crocs as the sides of the cliffs can be hard on the feet. Prepare to pay 10 euros for entry if you're accessing through the camp midday. If you go in the morning or evening sometimes you can get away without paying.
