CasaIndipendente in Contrada Capoiale, Cagnano Varano

Cagnano Varano sits on the northern Gargano promontory (Monti del Gargano). The Lago di Varano, a brackish coastal lagoon, is adjacent to the town and is the largest lake in Puglia. The Adriatic coast with beaches and rocky stretches is part of the local landscape and includes nearby coastal towns such as Vieste and Peschici. Vieste is the nearest larger tourist town and offers beaches, shops and ferry connections to the Isole Tremiti. The Parco Nazionale del Gargano (Gargano National Park) covers much of the promontory and the Foresta Umbra woodland is within roughly 15 km. The local terrain is limestone karst with coastal lagoons, sandy spits and agricultural land including olive cultivation and fishing. There are no ski lifts in the area.
