Visit the Gargano
Visit the Gargano means get in touch with a reality that immediately shows its complex nature, made up of elements that counteract each other.
The Gargano, in fact, because of its strategic location, has always been a land of passage that has been able to host on its territory a crucible of different peoples and cultures that, in varying degrees, have left a trace of their presence .
On the other hand, Gargano has the typical characteristics of the regions of southern Italy: a population that can offer its tourists a reception and hospitality that have as strong an incredible human warmth, but also a population so strongly linked to its traditions, to its roots by appearing at times hostile, closed in on itself.

This land was, in fact, among the first in Italy to accept and practice the Christian religion, to the point that it deserves the title of "Holy Mountain".
The two main centers of religious Gargano are Monte Sant 'Angelo, the cult of St. Michael the Archangel, a cult that has ancient origins and that since ancient times has been able to attract a significant number of pilgrims micaelici; and San Giovanni Rotondo, the country hosted that, as of 1916, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, the saint who dedicated his life to the care of the most vulnerable and sick, becoming promoter of the construction of major works of public utilities, among which mention the "House Relief, a hospital can offer hospitality to a number of sick people.
The Costa del Gargano and the Tremiti Islands
The Gargano counts among its wealth of a Marine Reserve more beautiful world: the Tremiti Islands, five small islands located just a few miles from the coast of northern Gargano and accessible from several points, thanks to ships and hydrofoils, almost always with the tourist guide.
