Termoli Trabucchi and Borgo Antico

  • Best timeSunrise for the trabucchi; golden hour for the old town walls

Termoli's walled old town juts into the Adriatic on a rocky promontory, with the Castello Svevo and pastel houses above the sea and the spidery wooden trabucchi fishing platforms along the shore. Sunrise over the trabucchi and the sea-lit walls of the borgo antico are among the finest coastal images in central Italy.
