The historic city of Vieste offers a cultural experience like no other. Ancient castles, historic sites, stunning views, friendly locals, and exquisite cuisine make for a trip you won't forget. We will embrace the culture at HumanFit, and experience one of Italy's "hidden gems" like a local!
Vieste is called the Pearl of the Gargano, a beautiful seaside town that sits on a white cliffed promontory jutting into the sea Vieste is a delightful blend of Old World charm and modern resort mixed together. Sitting on a low cliff, there are wide beaches that extend on either side, making it a great destination for wandering the narrow lanes of the old town as well as parking yourself on a sandy stretch of beach and enjoying the sun.
It wouldn't be a trip to Italy without enjoying all of the amazing food! From seafood to pastas to pizzas and more, Vieste has some of the best restaurants and eateries in Italy! We will have group dinners, as well as free nights, to enjoy all that Vieste has to offer.
