Crystal-Clear Beaches in Puglia, Italy

As heat goes on in Italy, Europe A La Carte proposes a list of the best beaches that can be found in the Gargano Peninsula, in Puglia, Italy.

Although it’s not difficult to find wonderful and crystal-clear beaches in Puglia, the beaches proposed are amidst wild nature, coves and cliffs of the Gargano located from Vieste to Mattinata.

If you are looking for an easy-to-reach beach, you’ll probably prefer Cala della Pergola. If you are on a family beach day, you may choose Campi, a pebble beach with bar and restaurant . But if you are one of those who prefer adventure and wild nature, you’ll rather go to Porto Greco: it requires a big effort to get there but once you’ll be there  and see the beauty of this place, you’ll forget about it!
