Rodi Garganico, Coastal commune in Province of Foggia, Italy
Rodi Garganico sits on a coastal promontory overlooking the Adriatic Sea, with long beaches stretching along both its eastern and western shores. The settlement occupies the headland where the terrain transitions from sandy beaches to the elevated ridge of the Gargano peninsula.
The settlement traces back to the ancient Dauni people, with archaeological evidence showing continuous habitation from prehistoric times in this Mediterranean region. Its strategic position on the promontory made it an important location for successive cultures and trading networks.
The town maintains traditional citrus cultivation methods that have been handed down through families for generations, producing certified Gargano Oranges and Femminiello Lemons that define local identity.
Visitors can access both the eastern and western beaches, with accommodation options ranging from seaside hotels to mountain lodges in the nearby Gargano National Park. The best time to visit is outside the peak summer season when beaches are less crowded.
The agricultural region produces citrus fruits at an elevation where such cultivation would typically be impossible, thanks to the specific microclimate created by the promontory's geography. This phenomenon makes the local oranges and lemons botanically and historically remarkable.
