About Vieste
Vieste's story is written in its whitewashed alleys, its Norman castle and its trabucchi — the wooden fishing platforms that have balanced on the Gargano cliffs for centuries. A private walk such as the Vieste: Private Walking Tour of Legends and Breathtaking Views unpacks the town's layers of Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Norman rule, while the Unique Fishing Experience on Trabucco San Lorenzo: Tradition & Local Flavors shows how that heritage is still worked by hand today.
