🗒 ALTA MURGIA - Coming inland from the coast, the Alta Murgia National Park offers exquisite views of the countryside. This national park boasts rolling pastures as well as deep forests and rocky hillsides. The varied terrain allows for travelers to go where they are drawn to the most or take advantage of the many excursions that allow experiencing this beautiful natural treasure.

🗒 GARGANO - Inching closer to the Northern coast is the Gargano peninsula. The town of Cagnano Varano offers one the opportunity to visit the unique sanctuary of Archangel St. Michael, located in a cave. This unique spiritual site has seen numerous visitors and pilgrims from all over the world who have traveled to see this particular attraction.

🗒 BISCEGLIE AND MONOPOLI - Finally, to take advantage of the beautiful coast, journey to the picturesque Bisceglie and Monopoli.
