Apulia is a region of Southern Italy and is practically his "heel". Apulia is characterized by a wild landscape and extendedn coltivation of olive trees. Apulia is washed by two seas, the Ionian Sea on one side and the other the Adriatic Sea.Apulia is a land rich in traditions and culture, as it was influenced by the people who over the years have conquered this rich region.Apulia has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers, windy in coastal areas and cooler in the mountainous areas, the winters are mild, with occasional rainfall.The best way to visit Apulia is certainly by car. The streets are almost perfect throughout the region and getting around is very easy, for the happines of the tourist …

At about 12 miles off the coast of Gargano are the Tremiti islands, defined by their charming and unspoilt beauty "Pearls of the Adriatic". The small archipelago is made up of the islands of San Nicola, San Domino, Cretaccio, Caprara, and approximately 11 miles from them, from the island of Pianosa. The crystal clear waters of the Tremiti attract thousands of tourists every year. Gradually the tourism has improved for the good connections and accommodations developed during these years. One day excursion is a must if you are visiting Termoli or the Gargano. Tremiti island are worty to visit by walk on the island of San Nicola and on the boat for a mervellous day-trip around the hundred of “calette” and bay created in thousands of years.

Hotel Residenza Sveva - Termoli

Hotel in Termoli, historical centre, near the beach, Isole Tremiti excursion.

Molise has much to offer in the country side, but also at the sea side there are several interesting cities. I have chose Termoli because the old town has a very nice historical centre, plenty of little restaurants or "trattoria" as we call them in Italian, where it is possible to have good seafood dishes. The “Albergo Diffuso” Residenza Sveva is in the old part of the town, and the rooms are in different locations around the square Duomo. All the rooms have AIRCO and are freshly furnished. Free access and service with sun-bed on the private beach for the clients. Also the restaurant is on the beach and serves several dishes from the tradition of Termoli. The restaurant faces an ancient “Trabucco”, a really peculiar "palafitta" used to fish. Termoli is good spot to spend couple of days also because of the wonderful islands of Tremiti, which I strongly suggest to visit. The hydrofoil will take you there in 1 hour. The Tremiti island is a full natural reserve and the coast has plenty of bay and "calette". San Domino is the biggest island, from here you can rent a little boat and go for your great excursion.
