Explore the Gargano
Discover the Gargano region starting from Rodi Garganico
A holiday at Camping Serenella is also an opportunity to explore one of the most fascinating areas of Puglia: the Gargano National Park, where sea, woods, villages and spirituality coexist within a few kilometres. And if you love ‘quality’ seaside, you’ve come to the right place: Rodi Garganico is one of the resorts awarded the Blue Flag, an international recognition given to destinations that meet strict criteria for water quality, services and environmental management.

Gargano National Park and Umbra Forest
The Gargano is a unique promontory: a green “spur” overlooking the Adriatic Sea and home to one of the most important national parks in southern Italy.
The Foresta Umbra, the green heart of the park, is a protected area rich in biodiversity, shaded paths and trekking routes suitable for different levels. It is the ideal place if you love walking, cycling or simply breathing fresh air away from the coast.

Vieste e Peschici
Among the most iconic locations in the Gargano are Vieste and Peschici, two seaside villages with white historic centres, scenic alleys and natural terraces overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
Vieste is famous for its ‘Pizzomunno’ sea stack and long sandy beaches, while Peschici is known for its perched houses and secluded coves. Both are worth visiting in the evening, when the village comes alive and the sea reflects the lights of the town.

Isole Tremiti
A few miles from the coast are the Tremiti Islands, a marine reserve with crystal clear waters and spectacular seabeds. You can reach them by ferry or hydrofoil from the ports of Gargano and organise a day trip.
With rocky coves, sea caves and panoramic views, they are the perfect destination for those who love snorkelling, crystal clear sea and unspoilt nature.

Monte Sant’Angelo
Perched over 800 metres above sea level, Monte Sant’Angelo is one of the most important historical villages in the Gargano area. It is home to the famous Sanctuary of St. Michael the Archangel, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the ‘Longobards in Italy’ programme.
It is a destination that combines history, spirituality and breathtaking views of the entire promontory.

A destination that enriches your holiday with a cultural and spiritual dimension.
