TREMITI ISLANDS
The Tremiti Islands are a corner of paradise, a concentration of natural beauties: overhanging rocks, quiet bays, rocks and farglioni, clear and blue waters, a favorite destination for all divers. Care to Diomedes, Greek hero, legend has it that his companions were transformed by Venus into seabirds called Diomedee that still today, on moonlit nights, emit a cry similar to a baby's cry.


UMBER FOREST
The Umbra Forest boasts such a luxuriant vegetation that it is not easy to compare. Vast about 11,000 hectares, there are Aleppo pines, beech trees, black and white hornbeam, laurels, limes, oaks and those very ancient rates that are among the oldest trees in Italy. Excursions and walks are recommended to admire the fauna with naturalistic guides.

MONTE SANT 'ANGELO

Monte Sant'Angelo dominates the Tavoliere from its 800 meters on one side and the Gulf of Manfredonia on the other. From the characteristic medieval village, the city owes its fame to the Sanctuary of San Michele, a destination for many pilgrims every year. Lying on the rock, inside which there are many caverns and caves, there are numerous monuments including the impressive Basilica Palatina which houses the marble statue of the saint.


SAN GIOVANNI ROTONDO
San Giovanni Rotondo owes his notoriety to Padre Pio, the friar who with his work managed to build that imposing monument that is the Casa Sollievo of the Relief of Suffering, a very important hospital center among the best equipped in southern Italy. The now certain sanctification of Padre Pio and the continuous prodigies attributed to him, bring to San Giovanni Rotondo countless faithful who want to witness with their presence admiration and devotion.
