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, to 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. |
