Just over the border in Abruzzo, Vasto is an elegant historic town on a balcony above the Adriatic, with the Palazzo d'Avalos, panoramic Loggia Amblingh and a long sandy marina below. The Costa dei Trabocchi stretches north with its old timber fishing platforms, many now converted into seafood restaurants. It is an easy, quick train hop from Termoli for beaches, a historic old town and a trabocco lunch.
