Hotels near Foggia Gino Lisa Airport

Gino Lisa Airport is just 3 km from the centre of Foggia, but those who come here are almost always heading for the Gargano, not the city: Vieste, Peschici and Mattinata are still over an hour's drive away, along coastal roads that climb up the promontory. There are no trains at the airport, and the buses for the Gargano leave from the centre of Foggia, so it's best to rent a car as soon as you arrive. The choice is mainly between the sandy beaches of Peschici, the coves of Vieste and Mattinata, closer and better suited to those with just a weekend.
