I was in Termoli almost by chance a few years ago. With friends we went on a traveling tour, and someone from the group wanted to visit a friend of his. Actually, I didn't expect much from the city, I had never heard of it before. But I must say that I was very impressed.
The historic center is located directly at the sea, on a hill on the peninsula on which the city stands, the walls of the are directly in contact with the water. At the entrance to the ancient city, we visited the Swabian Castle. In the old town you can see the basilica and the sanctuary, but after a short walk, we preferred to go to the beach.
In the north of the city, you can swim in the crystal clear waters, from where you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Old Town. They explained, however, that the beach to the south is more developed, with the possibility of numerous water sports. Since we only had a few hours, it was great too.
From the port, you can also go hiking to the Tremiti Islands, or in summer you can go from here also to Croatia.
In the evening we went to a small restaurant, they recommended a local specialty: U'Bredette alla Termolese, a fish soup. The local cuisine is based on fish dishes, and since I don't particularly like soups, I ordered a local dish, Secce e p'sille, cuttlefish with peas. It was also this very good!
