Ortona
Ortona, the seaside gem of Abruzzo, marks the start of the famous Trabocchi Coast, one of Italy’s most beautiful coastal landscapes: 20 km of sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, the Aragonese Castle, the Orientale Promenade, the Tosti Theater, the Farnese Palace, and the Basilica of St. Thomas, which houses relics of the patron saint and is a destination for religious tourism.

Trabocchi Coast
Along the Abruzzo coastline between Ortona and Vasto, the Costa dei Trabocchi is one of the most picturesque stretches of the Adriatic coast: ancient fishing machines built on stilts, the trabocchi—some still in operation, others converted into restaurants on the water—jutt out into the sea like slender arms.
Over 20 of them can be visited by appointment for a unique experience, just as D’Annunzio described.
