Just a few, but what a few! Puglia’s islands are little spots of heaven. The beaches are similar to tropical paradises, the sea is so blue there’s nowhere more beautiful. The islands off Puglia are well worth a visit.
The Tremiti islands are an archipelago in the Adriatic Sea, found about 20 kilometres north of the Gargano promontory. It’s a real treasure trove of unspoilt nature and biodiversity.

The clean sea has been awarded Blue Flag status many times, and the coast – with characteristic rocky bays, reefs, and beautiful coves, deserves to be admired.
