Riserva Naturale di Punta Aderci

Reviewed By 266JosephG - Montreal, Canada

The Regional Natural Reserve of Punta Aderci was created in 1998 and spans 5 Km from Punta Penna to the mouth of Sinello river further North. The reserve is a quiet, peaceful and undeveloped area with beaches, cliffs, grassland, and other vegetation, trabocchi (a trabocco is an old wooden fishing machine found on the Adriatic coast in this region). access to the Reserve and its beaches and trails are totally free; however, there are no services in the Reserve except at the entrance of Punta Penna opposite the parking where you can find showers, toilets, and drinking water. I visited by the Punta Penna entrance and walked the 1 Km road to the belvedere near the sea where you have amazing and stunning views of the sea, beaches, and trabocco. When I visited there was also a bus service for those unable to walk to the belvedere (cost: 1 Euro).

Cattedrale San Giuseppe

Reviewed By Steveage - Rexburg, United States

Originally a church built in Augustinian Order in 1266. Only the front wall lasts since the 14th century, including a beautiful stone, rose window. The interior is ok, Compared to the thousands of other amazing churches in Italy this one is ho-hum. The interior was reworked in a neo-Gothic style in 1853. In the same year, the name of the church was changed to San Giuseppe in honor of Napoleon’s brother, who was at that time the king of Naples. The best, most interesting, and well worth a long gaze is the triptych from 1505.

Chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore

Reviewed By rtcorea - Naples, United States

There are paintings that are amazing. An important work by the master Veronese hangs on a wall, not far from an impressive work signed simply “il nipote di Veronese“, the nephew of Veronese. We are Americans who own a house in Vasto. We always take our visitors to this church, and the cathedral.
