Bay of Manaccora, Torre Calalunga, Torre Gusmay and Coast of Trabucchi- Peschici (FG)-Gargano-Puglia

We're still in the Peschici area in Gargano. We will go back to the boat to show you the wonderful coast seen from the sea. It will surely fascinate you.


The coast here is a continuous succession of rocky promontories, heavenly bays, and beaches of fine sand. These areas were, in fact, quickly attacked, and therefore numerous watchtowers were built at the most strategic points to contain, if not avoid, attacks from the sea.

The Calalunga tower was undoubtedly the best position that protected Peschici. Just as the Gusmay Tower and all the other towers protected the populations and the territory, the buildings all had to see each other. Whoever remained to watch communicated with their respective towers via visual signals or shouting at different times with messages on horseback.


The Trabucchi then embellish the landscape with their sophisticated and complex structures, catching tons of fish.

Trabucco da Mimì is considered one of the most beautiful things in the Gargano. Still, not only will you be amazed to see it set on a rocky ridge of Punta San Nicola, but you will also be delighted by its cuisine, which has won the episode of the best fish restaurant del Gargano in Alessandro Borghesi's "4 restaurants" program.


When you come to Peschici, do not miss the opportunity to visit the ancient watchtowers and the famous Trabucchi. Ingenious wooden structures suspended between rock and sea.
