Abruzzo

Land of sea and mountains. From the beautiful beaches of the Adriatic, holiday spots, to the hilly countryside, to the Maiella and Gran Sasso Mountains. In fact, it is in Abruzzo where you find one of the most majestic European mountain chains, which reach 2993 meters, and the southern most glacier in Europe. Still inhabited by bears, wolves, and chamois, the Apennies are almost unknown to international excursionists.
Sea towns, mountain cities such as Aquila or Sulmona, thermal bath centers, fertile lands, fortresses and castles, solitary hermitages and grand monasteries, always found in extremely beautiful scenery.
