For Sale - 7th February 2012
Vieste, Italy
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$90
(Postage and handling included)
We discovered the little town of Vieste on our trek through to France to catch our flight to Australia. To avoid having to drive across central or northern Italy in case of snow when we returned in January, we caught the ferry across to Brindisi in the south, then headed to what looked like an interesting, and for us, unvisited part of Italy.
The small spur north of Bari is the Gargano promontory - a mountainous area of mostly national park, with the remains of ancient oak and beech forests and some coastal towns. Vieste itself, sits on a rocky outcrop, with a lovely and reasonably unspoilt old town. As is the case with a lot of towns in this part of Italy, it had a rather Greek feel to it, with mostly whitewashed buildings spilling down to the Adriatic Sea. It is most definitely an area for us to return to and explore. There are some great beaches in the area, but I suspect the summer months would be bedlam in true Italian beachside fashion!
