About Peschici
Peschici stands on a karst spur more than 100 m above the sea, on the northeast coast of the Gargano promontory and inside the Gargano National Park. The old town has cube-shaped houses with white domes, arches and old churches, and a castle from the mid-13th century stands at the end of the cliff. Its bay holds one of the largest beaches in the area, popular with families and, because it is exposed to the wind, with surfers; smaller beaches such as Jalillo, Calenella and Sospetto lie along the coast. Ferries to the Tremiti Islands leave from the small port. The homes are grouped around the village, and most have air conditioning but only some have a private pool. Most are small, sized for two to four people. Mediterranean scrub covers parts of the land, with Aleppo pines further inland, and evenings centre on the old town.
