TERMOLI ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

📍 Overview

Termoli is a picturesque coastal town in the region of Molise, known for its golden beaches, colorful fishing village, and impressive Swabian castle overlooking the Adriatic Sea. This lesser-known gem blends history and seaside relaxation, offering a laid-back alternative to more crowded Italian resorts. Its historic old town (Borgo Antico), turquoise waters, and authentic seafood cuisine make Termoli a perfect off-the-beaten-path destination.
