Gargano Peninsula and
Rodi Garganico - the gateway
to authentic Southern Italy

The Gargano Peninsula is one of the most unique areas of the Apulia region, often called “the Spur of Italy.” It is a place where impressive nature, ancient towns, emerald-green sea, and strong cultural traditions come together. Here, Erasmus+ participants find peace, adventure, and the true rhythm of Italian life.

At the heart of the peninsula lies Rodi Garganico – a charming seaside town with a long fishing heritage, a modern marina, olive groves, and the citrus orchards that made the area famous. It is a safe and convenient location for Erasmus+ students: everything is within walking distance, and the local community is friendly and welcoming to young people from all across Europe.

This region offers the perfect combination of quality traineeships and meaningful exploration: from UNESCO sites, caves, and forests to traditional trabucco fishing structures and the well-known white hilltop towns overlooking the sea.
