Peschici Essentials
Peschici rises from the limestone cliffs of the Gargano Peninsula, defined by its white-washed architecture and Byzantine-influenced old town. This selection covers the Norman-Swabian castle and 13th-century churches like Sant’Elia Profeta. Along the coast, discover "trabucchi"—ancient wooden fishing platforms now housing seafood restaurants—and 16th-century watchtowers like Torre di Calalunga. The list also includes the historic 11th-century Abbazia di Kalena and the ferry port for excursions to the Tremiti Islands.
