 MAIN INFORMATION: The coastline of Abruzzo is varied, where the low and sandy shores to the north
contrast with the inclined shores to the south.
The sette sorelle (seven sisters), seven seaside resorts in the province of Teramo,
from Martinsicuro to Silvi, the Pescara and the Francavilla al Mare beaches, offer
high level accomodation, night-clubs, and in Pescara itself, even a modern marina.
To the south the scenery changes radically: from Ortona to Vasto and as far as
S. Salvo, sloping shores surrounded by the rich Mediterranean vegetation appear on
the coastline.
They too, are well equipped for a pleasant holiday.
The nostalgic fishing past emerges between S. Vito and Fossacesia, where the
travocchi, singular fishing huts built on piles, are still today used by the local
fishermen.
During the winter, the Abruzzo mountains offer to the keen snow-lovers numerous
possibilities for downhill, cross-country, and alpine sluing, and, the latest passion
of the youngsters, the snowboard. Winter tourism has changed radically the life of
the many towns that realised the need to change and have made "snow" their
enterprise.
The highest number of winter resorts can be found in the L'Aquila province, but the
Teramo side of Gran Sasso and the Majella also offer a good level of facilities. |
