Trip Itinerary
1
Pescara
Day 1-2
Our meeting point is Pescara, either the airport or the train station. While we wait for the Tripmates to arrive, we'll have a walk around the city, which is quite new compared to other areas of the region. The town centre has a large pedestrian area that leads directly to the beach. The Ponte del Mare (Sea Bridge) is the main attraction, and offers a great view from the top especially at sunset. Depending on the weather we can relax on the beach or have a Spritz in one of the many bars. When everybody is ready we'll reach our accomodations and have dinner together.
2
Campo Imperatore
Day 2-3
The adventure begins! Pack your camera as we'll have a big day ahead exploring one of the most iconic areas of Abruzzo, the mighty Campo Imperatore (Emperor's Field). It's a huge plateau that you can rarely see in Europe, therefore called the Little Tibet. We'll then move to the medieval village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio, have a walk and lunch together. Last gem of the day will be the stunning castle of Rocca Calascio, one the highest castle in Europe. You will never forget the view from the top, insane pictures guaranteed!
3
Atri
Day 3-4
After the previous day, we'll go for something closer to our headquarter, but not less interesting. The area around the old towns of Atri, Silvi and Città S.Angelo can be easily explored thanks to the relatively short distance between them. Atri dates back to Roman times and has a beautiful town centre with a Cathedral and many churches. Also in the area you can see the iconic Calanchi, which is a particular geologic formation due to erosion. Silvi offers probably the best view of the Adriatic Sea from its panoramic viewpoint. If the sky is clear, we'll enjoy a nice wine watching the sunset.
4
Scanno
Day 4-5
Let's go for another big day out! Our main destination is Scanno, the village of photographers. Not many people know that this old village has welcomed some of the most important photographers of XX century, who fell in love with its small road, the traditional clothes, and the view of the near heart-shaped lake. You probably know some of their names, Henri Cartier-Bresson, William Woodward, Hilde Lotz-Bauer and Mario Giacomelli. If it's not too late, on the way back we can stop in Sulmona, home of the traditional italian Confetti for some tastings.
5
Costa dei Trabocchi
Day 5-6
We'll move a bit south following the coastal road the connects Abruzzo to Apulia. A bit in the inland, the Castle of Roccascalegna awaits to be conquered, as nobody has ever been able to do that. You'll figure out why once you see it. Then we'll stop through the coastal town of Fossacesia and San Vito, and visit the old San Giovanni in Venere abbey, with a stunning view on the gulf. The atmosphere is great and the food delicious too!
6
Valle del Tirino
Day 6-7
It's adventure day, and I want to try to show you the more I can from this beautiful area. I have a great range of experiences that go from kayaking on the Tirino river (fee not included), visit the Lavino Spring with its amazing turquoise waters, explore the Eremo di San Bartolomeo, an hermit retreat dug into the mountains, and more. Those are the main ideas but I want to be more flexible on this day and let you choose according to your preferences.
7
Chieti
Day 7-8
For the last day I think it's actually cool to relax and enjoy our countryhouse a little bit more. So no big plans, but a free day we can spend editing our photos, reading or recovering from the past days efforts. If the group agrees, we can go to the beach in Pescara or visit the historical town of Chieti, which is very close.
8
Pescara
Day 8
8️⃣ Time to say goodbye! Depending on the time you leave we'll go back in Pescara and have a walk while we wait for your flight/train. The journey is over, but memories and friendship will stay with us forever!
