Travel Tour Overview
Gargano on Two Wheels: A Cinematic Tour through Sea and Forests
From Termoli to Barletta, cycling through history and legend, you will discover the most authentic side of Puglia on an exciting bike journey that turns every stage into an unforgettable frame. We will cross the Gargano promontory, a land so diverse and wild that it has captivated international directors, from Hollywood productions to beloved Italian comedies. You will ride along the white cliffs of Vignanotica Beach, where the Amazons of Wonder Woman (2017) found their perfect location, and immerse yourself in the ancient silence of the Umbra Forest, the natural set of the eerie Netflix thriller A Classic Horror Story.
The tour passes through historic towns rich in tradition and spirituality: in Monte Sant’Angelo, you will admire the architecture that hosted Serena Rossi in the TV drama La Sposa and the period atmosphere of La morte civile; in Vieste and San Giovanni Rotondo, you will cycle through alleys and squares that were the backdrop for the humor of Pio and Amedeo in the film Oi vita mia (2025); in Vico del Gargano and Carpino, you will relive the charm of classic cinema, from Gina Lollobrigida’s steps in La legge (1959) to the filming of Questo è il mio paese.
From the vibrant coast of Termoli, along scenic roads through pine forests and coastal lakes, to historic Barletta, this tour is designed for those who enjoy a slow, immersive pace. Between rides, you will explore the Convent of San Matteo, the set of the film Oro with Ettore Bassi, and enjoy breathtaking views suspended over the blue Adriatic. It is the perfect experience for those seeking a direct connection with the most genuine landscapes of Southern Italy, cycling between the reality of a millenary land and the fiction of the big screen.
Are you ready to shoot your own film? Gargano is waiting for you.
