Description
Vieste is a beautiful small whitewashed town jutting off the Gargano's easternmost promontory into the Adriatic Sea in the Puglia region. It is an attractive comune in the province of Foggia in southeast Italy. A marine resort, it's the Gargano capital and sits above the area's most spectacular beach, a gleaming wide strip backed by sheer white cliffs. A visit to Vieste is always accompanied by emotions created by the sea view and splendid beaches which frame the Medieval suburb situated on a precipitous spur looking out to sea. Southern Italy is the land of the mezzogiorno the midday sun which sums up the Mediterranean climate and the languid pace of life. From the heel to the toe of Italys boot, the landscape reflects the individuality of its people. At its core, this town is a fishing village, but it offers a holiday or vacation traveler wonderful sights and beautiful culture and tradition. Its territory was inhabited since the Neolithic era, with populations dedicated to agriculture, sheep farming, fish and subsequently sea commerce with other populations in the Mediterranean basin. Legend names Noah, who arrived in Gargano after the Great Flood and who decided to settle here until the death of his wife Vesta, as the one who named the City after her.
