Introducing Termoli
Despite its touristy trattorias and a brace of blowsy bars, Molise’s top beach resort retains a low-key charm. At the eastern end of the seafront, the pretty borgo antico (old town) juts out to sea atop a natural pier, dividing the sandy beach from Termoli’s small harbour. From the port, year-round ferries sail for the Isole Tremiti.

The town’s most famous landmark, Frederick II’s 13th-century castle (0875 71 23 54; on request) guards entry to the tiny borgo, a tangle of narrow streets, medieval houses and souvenir shops. From the castle, follow the road up and you come to Piazza Duomo and the 12th-century cathedral (0875 70 63 59; Piazza Duomo; on request), a fine example of Puglian-Romanesque architecture.
The helpful tourist office (0875 70 39 13; Piazza Bega 42; 8am-2pm Mon-Fri & 4.45-6.30pm Tue, Thu & Fri, 3-6.30pm Mon & Wed, 8am-12.45pm Sat) is tucked away in a car park behind a small shopping gallery, 100m east of the train station.
