Abruzzo Sightseeing Attractions

Holiday at the sea is an occasion to know and visit places yet unknown.

There is a whole universe to be discovered between the Apennines and the sea.

Easily reached from most parts of Italy, Abruzzo nonetheless remained at a distance, a little withdrawn, for a long time, but little by little it is very rightly being rediscovered.

The beaches and the cliffs line 130 kilometres of the Adriatic coast and they are probably the best known part of the region.

Previously, the coast was a favourite with families, but younger people and international visitors have started to discover the area thanks to its marinas, sports facilities and many events.

At the same time, thousands of visitors from Italy and Europe have begun to move inwards to the splendid hinterland, seeking out the art towns and old centres, visiting the castles, the churches and the abbeys.

They are also venturing onto the hiking paths in the three National Parks, the Regional Park, the dozens of Nature Reserves and sanctuaries that ensure the survival of 75% of all Europe's living species, and which make Abruzzo the "greenest region in Europe".
