Camping Fontana delle Rose

There's stacks to do around here by sea or by land, such as horse riding in the national park, hiking the local paths, or taking a craft out to the several sea caves and creeks around this part of the Adriatic coast that can only be reached by boat. The walking trails of the surrounding Gargano National Park will take you through a wildlife haven where you should be able to see flamingos, storks and white-headed ducks. Within the park, famed and popular Umbra forest is home to deer and wild boar among its giant trees. Old and scenic towns and villages are easy to get to from here, like the historical centre of Mattinata (eight kilometres) and its Palazzo Mantuano, Palazzo Giordano and the Monte Saraceno archaeological site. Santuario di San Michele, 25 kilometres away in the mountaintop town of Monte Sant'Angelo is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a castle, the Tomba di Rotari monument and the Tancredi Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions of Gargano. Boat trips leave from Vieste (15 kilometres) and Manfredonia (25 kilometres) to visit the Tremiti Islands, their pine forests and sandy coves.
