GARGANO NATIONAL PARK

The Gargano National Park is an oasis that is only a stone’s throw away from the sea.

The Gargano area is one of the richest territories from the point of view of landscapes and natural reserves. With its almost 120 thousand hectares, it is one of the vastest protected areas throughout Italy and it includes ecosystems which are very different from one another.

THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE NATIONAL PARK

Just think that in the vast area of the Gargano National Park we can find very different aspects such as:

Islands
Inside the boundaries of the Gargano National Park you can also find the Tremiti Islands
Lakes
How can you forget Lake Lesina and Lake Varano? Also in this case, these are still within the boundaries of the National Park
Sea Caves
Rodi Garganico, Vieste, Peschici, Mattinata. There are so many sea caves that you can find on the stretch of coast in which these municipalities are situated
Thick Forest
Also the Foresta Umbra Nature Reserve is one of the aspects of the National Park; this goes to show how it is possible, while on holiday in the Apulia region, to find the sea near to the mountain.

SPONTANEOUSLY-GROWING ORCHIDS

Many tourists dream of visiting the Gargano National Park for its great many species of spontaneously-growing orchids. In fact, just think that here there are more than 80 different species, belonging to 17 different families; this is a nature lover’s and botanists’ paradise!

OUTDOOR SPORTS

Thanks to the several paths that have been created within the Gargano National Park, you can practice many sports, including trekking, mountain biking, orienteering, horse-riding, birdwatching and speleology (the most typical kind is Gargano area).
