Default Advice on Gargano, Puglia, Italy

Hi, I'll be spending a week in the Gargano area of Italy in June, around
Capo Vieste. I'm looking for tips on places of architectural interest,
attractive towns, good restaurants and so on, anything which may not be
already in the guide books (not that there are any guide books for this
region it seems). Also anything which my 3-year-old might enjoy although
with the beach and the pool I'm sure he'll be happy anyway. Thanks.

The city of Bari is beautyful although LP says it is the most dangerous in
Italy, it's perfectly safe at day time.
Also Alberobello is worth a (very touristy) visit since people live in
trulli like gnomes do....
Many other towns like Locorotondo are worth a visit so you should have a car
there.

Just noting that Bari isn't very close to Vieste. A day trip would be a
very long one.

Yes, you're right Luca but it's a nice coastal drive for the most part.
In Italy I tend to drive quite a lot on daytrips since distances are vast
but never boring.

I was there a couple of years ago. Castel del Monte is kept in rather
good conditions, but to enjoy it you should have a good guide, or read
something about it, and emperor Frederick II. It is rather impressive,
although it should be even more if seen from the air. It's perfectly
octagonal with 8 octagonal towers.
