Geography

Peschici is situated on the north-eastern coast of Gargano promontory, 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) east of San Menaio, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) from Rodi Garganico, and 19 kilometres (12 mi) west of Vieste. The town sits over a karst spur facing the sea, with a height of more than 100 metres (330 ft); the territory features a number of coastal watch towers. Flora includes sectors of Mediterranean shrubland and, in the inner areas, Aleppo pines. 32 Kilometers north east of the town Peschici, is the Croatian Island of Palagruža.

The lexicographer Giacomo Micaglia was born in Peschici.
