The Regional Natural Reserve of Punta Aderci was created in 1998 and spans 5 Km from Punta Penna to the mouth of Sinello river further North. The reserve is a quiet, peaceful and undeveloped area with beaches, cliffs, grassland, and other vegetation, trabocchi (a trabocco is an old wooden fishing machine found on the Adriatic coast in this region). access to the Reserve and its beaches and trails are totally free; however, there are no services in the Reserve except at the entrance of Punta Penna opposite the parking where you can find showers, toilets, and drinking water. I visited by the Punta Penna entrance and walked the 1 Km road to the belvedere near the sea where you have amazing and stunning views of the sea, beaches, and trabocco. When I visited there was also a bus service for those unable to walk to the belvedere (cost: 1 Euro).

Beatiful museum with a gorgeous collection of ancient roman and pre-roman artifacts found in the Abruzzo region. The museum, located in An old villa in the centre of Chieti, is also the home of the "Warrior of Capestrano", probably the most iconic, beautiful and enigmatic sculpture from the Italic pre-roman age. All sections of the museum are provided with English info panels. Warmly recommended to all visitors passing by the provinces of Pescara and Chieti.
3. Basilica di San Tommaso Apostolo

This church is located in the center of this lovely coastal town and is famous for holding the remains of Saint-Thomas the Apostle. Many times reconstructed, it dates back to 1258. The main Portal is the original one from 1311 and its white stone contrasts with the rest of the structure built in red bricks. The interior features one nave and lateral chapels and a crypt below the altar with the remains of Saint-Thomas. When I visited there was no other person in it and I was able to admire it in absolute silence.

We stopped to look up the grave of my dad’s first Cousin who was killed in the Battle of Ortona on Dec 20, 1943. I remembered him stopping off at our farm before he left for Europe. It was a very peaceful place, so well maintained, with a shelter containing a record of everyone buried there and a guest book for every visitor to sign. So many young Canadians gave their lives for us. Didn’t come up on our GPS but we were able to locate it with the help of locals.

Sea view and excess to downtown Ortona with great pubs and restaurants, weekly market and shopping promenade and coast view. Ortona also has a harbour with great fresh fish. I buy my fish here when staying at In Fraia Vacation Home Rental minutes away by car.
