The Trabocchi Coast, with its promontories, marine dunes, natural reserves, and protected areas, is beautiful in every season, offering the opportunity to fully experience the sea through swimming, diving, boating, and snorkeling! This five-day full-immersion experience, especially for photography enthusiasts, provides the privilege of staying until sunset with a view of the Maiella or Gran Sasso, or waiting for the sunrise on the beach with the aroma of Moka coffee. The itinerary includes five days of sea-trekking for eco-friendly travels.
1st Day: Autonomous arrival in Francavilla al Mare Meeting at the accommodation, dinner, and overnight stay.
2nd Day: From Francavilla al Mare to Ortona via the beach The itinerary is mostly along the beach to reach the hole of Ortona and visit the splendid Ripari di Giobbe. This ecological network includes important protected areas established by the Abruzzo Region (Ripari di Giobbe, Punta dell'Acquabella, Grotta delle Farfalle, Lecceta di Torino di Sangro, Punta Aderci, Bosco di Don Venanzio, Marina di Vasto). We will arrive in Ortona from the commercial port, climbing the stairs that lead to the Aragonese castle. (about 16 km)
3rd Day: From Ortona hole to San Vito Chietino The itinerary partly uses the old railway route and involves coastal crossing from Ortona to San Vito Chietino, passing through the Regional Natural Reserve Punta dell'Acquabella. We will travel by train, an environmentally friendly means, and on foot, with a slow pace to understand, love, and protect nature. (about 14 km)
4th Day: From San Vito Chietino to Fossacesia This coastal stretch will allow us to admire the numerous trabocchi here, and dinner based on fish is planned on one of the trabocchi. Where walking near the water is not possible, we will follow the old railway route Ortona-Casalbordino, discontinued since 2005, always close to the sea, with old stations and tunnels. The itinerary includes a visit to the Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere. (about 16 km)
5th Day: From Fossacesia to Casalbordino The planned itinerary will allow us to get to know closely the stretch of coast from Fossacesia to Casalbordino Lido. The journey follows the direction of the discontinued Adriatic railway line, touches the mouth of the Sangro River, and crosses the Regional Natural Reserve Lecceta di Torino di Sangro with the British war cemetery. Then, the coast, with dunes and greenery, remains wild up to Casalbordino. (about 18 km)
6th Day: From Casalbordino to Vasto Marina The long pebble beach of Mottagrossa, the promontory of Punta Aderci with its trabocco and small beach, the long sandy beach of Punta Penna... From Punta Aderci, the view can extend to the Maiella National Park, Gran Sasso-Laga, and Sibillini... a new perspective to remind us of the dual nature of our wonderful Abruzzo.
