From the Gargano to Santa Maria di Leuca
Sea, sun, countryside, good food, clean air, art, history and traditions. Puglia is always ready to surprise every single tourist who decides to spend their holidays in this wonderful land. But in the summer, those who choose the heel of Italy do so for the huge seaside tourist offer. So are you wondering which are the most beautiful beaches in Puglia? There is no single answer because the 865 kilometers of coastline of the region, from the Ionian Sea to the Adriatic Sea, have, kilometer after kilometer, biodiversity and a completely changing landscape. From the Maldives of Salento to the Faraglioni of Sant’Andrea, from the area of Polignano, Porto Ghiacciolo, Baia Verde, Santo Stefano, up to the Gargano di Vieste, Peschici and Rodi Garganico and the Tremiti Islands, you are spoiled for choice.
Salento offers the opportunity to take advantage of different beaches in a few hours, from the sandy and shallow ones of the Ionian coast to the wild and rocky ones of the Adriatic part.
From Gallipoli to Porto Cesareo, from Santa Maria di Leuca to Otranto up to Torre dell’Orso and Sant’Andrea: you can really make an unforgettable tour.
Going up the Apulian coast we arrive at the southern area of Bari, in the area of Capitolo, Monopoli and Polignano, a mostly sandy stretch where beaches for different tastes and services alternate one after the other, transforming in the evening into open-air discos, trendy clubs and restaurants where you can taste the typical dishes of the Apulian tradition.
We end with the north of Puglia, the Gargano and the Tremiti Islands, an earthly paradise nestled in the Gargano National Park with sandy and golden beaches and rocky and limestone headlands in the background. Here too you can choose whether to enjoy a quiet sandy beach or venture into the coves in areas that are even more difficult to reach.
