About this experience
Navigate the waters of the Adriatic, starting from the Gargano ports of Vieste, Peschici or Rodi Garganico and reaching the Tremiti Islands.
Arrived you will disembark to discover the small center of San Nicola, the "Salizada" connects the port to the village where the Benedictine Abbey of S. Maria a Mare stands out, which attest to the importance of the strategic position of the Tremiti Islands over the centuries.
Or you can reach the island of San Domino, a paradise where you can admire the biodiversity of flora and fauna, getting lost in small coves and suggestive views. From here we will start with the exploration of Cala Matano, Cala degli Inglesi, Cala Tonda and above all Cala delle Arene, sandy and with a more generous dimension than the others.
Included in the price is a boat tour of the islands, lasting about 1 hour, which shows the coast of the main islands by sea with a stop in one of the most suggestive coves.
Our crew will be at your disposal for any information
