Termoli: The Charming Castle and Cerulean Coast Town
Termoli, Italy has long been a popular summer holiday destination. Its long, cobalt blue, sandy beaches along the Adriatic Coast, which have been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag has attracted many local tourists. Unfortunately, it is still relatively a hidden gem to foreign visitors. But if the sea is not appealing enough, perhaps the city’s grand historical and heritage importance will have you booking the next flight or taking the next bus to Termoli.
Best Time to Visit
Clear skies and plenty of sunshine are experienced in Termoli, Italy all throughout the year. It is best to dip in for a swim in the azure coast during the middle of the year. However, if it is a historical walk through the city’s ancient center you are after, the months of April, May, September, and October have cooler temperatures perfect for long walks and tours. It is worthy to note that the Kimera Film Festival is held from February to April.
What to Do & Area Attractions
One of the greatest attraction in Termoli and one you should definitely not miss is the Castle of Termoli. It was built way back the 11th century and was part of a fortress that protected the city from Venetian fleets. The Termoli Cathedral is also located in the old town area of the city within a few minute walk from the castle. Of course, you should also not pass up the opportunity to swim at one of the Termoli beaches such as Rio Vivo or explore the Termoli Marina and eat at local restaurants. The Termoli Italy hotels you will find are mostly seafront and also right next to the historic area such as the Locanda Alfieri, Hotel Santa Lucia, and the 4-star Masseria Grande.
