Crecchio and the Adriatic
12th March 2023
We were half way through our holiday at this point and starting to head North. Our next stop was to be in the small town of Crecchio in Abruzzo. Off the beaten track but not too far from the coast making it easy to visit the Trabocci Coast which Lynn in particular has long wanted to visit.
Our car parked outside Crecchio
The motel we stayed in was very nice but the drive into Crecchio proved to be a bit further than anticipated along a twisty lane that descended quite a bit before making an upward approach to the town.
On our first visit into the town we parked up as soon as we saw a space which was actually just outside the main gates. But it's such a small place that walking round takes very little time. It's lovely! We found a super restaurant which was so nice we went there again on our second and final evening in Crecchio. It's called the Taverna Ducale and would be worth a visit if you are ever in the area!
Piazza Di Castello
The next day we drove to the coast and followed the Trabocci Coast Road. We stopped a few times to take in the views, mainly to see the Trabocci but also to enjoy the blue of the Adriatic. It's wonderful!
One of the Trabocci
I wasn't going to mention it but I will .... it was still very very hot!!

This area may not be one of the most obvious places to visit but it really is worth it! There are some more photos on my flickr page here: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAvk1H
Our next move was the long journey north to Milano and that will be where my next blog is set. Thanks for reading this one.
