Yacht charter
Last updated on 8 April 2025
Want to discover the urban and natural landscape of the coastline of the Gargano peninsula in Italy? Why not treat yourself to a yacht charter in Vieste, in the Apulia region, and enjoy an exceptional and pleasant stay in this magnificent little coastal town with its authentic charm.
Very popular, especially in summer, the town of Vieste fascinates travelers and yachtsmen with its picturesque charm and medieval character. Strolling through its narrow medieval streets, you can admire its finest architectural treasures, left by numerous civilizations, the most striking of which is the Greco-Roman civilization. During a family walk, you can immortalize the Roman cathedral characterized by its baroque style, as well as the castle built by the Swabians overlooking the steep cliffs plunging straight into the sea.
Pizzomunno, the beach castle, is also worth a visit during your trip to Vieste. This majestic and gigantic rocky outcrop overlooking the sandy beach of Vieste was once the stuff of local tales and legends. This monolith, 25 meters high, has become a symbolic element of the city. Also take the time to discover the green nature and the coasts of Vieste, which are home to a number of secret caves.
Green tourism in Vieste
Part of the province of Foggia, Vieste reveals a hinterland that lends itself readily to ecotourism. Part of the Gargano National Park, the Umbra Forest will be your first love! Home to one of Italy's few primary forests, the Umbrian Forest covers 400 hectares at an altitude of 800 meters in the center of the Gargano promontory. Strolling through it, you'll have the opportunity to admire the typically Mediterranean flora (European oaks, maple trees and holm oaks…). We recommend that you head to the center of the forest where Villaggio Umbra is located. This is home to a museum and a mini-zoo where you can see the species that thrive in the forest.
Explore the Gargano National Park
The Gargano National Park can be explored both on land and at sea. If you want to extend your little nature getaway, head inland where thick forests and Mediterranean scrubland follow one another. Along the coast, you will be quickly enchanted by the dizzying cliffs punctuated by mysterious caves, the vast limestone plateaus and the magnificent lagoons such as Lesina. A stroll along the coastline, which stretches between Vieste and Peschici, will take you through groves of oak and Aleppo pine. Exploring the Gargano National Park will be a great excuse for budding ornithologists, who will be able to spot more than a hundred species of birds, including the skylark, the Eurasian eagle-owl and the common kestrel.
To round off your visit to the park in style, steer your catamaran in Italy towards the Tremiti Islands. Forming an integral part of the park, the Tremiti Islands will add a touch of authenticity to your cruise in the Southern Adriatic. Budding botanists will find several species of wild orchids here, while diving enthusiasts can explore the marine reserve. Combine scuba diving and sport fishing from the Punta del Diamante spot, north of the island of San Domino.
