Do you believe staying in Foggia is the best plan to springboard to Il Gargano?
Answer Hello, staying in Foggia is a good idea, since it’s easy to reach by long distance trains. From Foggia then, you can visit the Gargano peninsula by train, by taking Trenitalia local trains to San Severo and from here, trains of the Ferrovie del Gargano: http://www.ferroviedelgargano.com/ By clicking on “Il treno” on the homepage, you can see the train schedules; “Autolinee locali”, instead, shows the bus network: this can be very useful for visiting the southern side of the peninsula, not served by trains. The Trenitalia website, where you can find national and local train schedules, is: http://www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html I’d suggest you to include a visit to the Tremiti islands, if you can: http://www.italiantourism.com/island7.html Starting from June, a ferry line connects Vieste to the islands in about 1.5 hours. We drive on the right 🙂 Have a great trip!
