Does anyone know the fastest and easiest way to get from Sorrento to Pescara? We are travelling from Rome to Sorrento and then going to Pescara. I know that there is a bus from Rome to Pescara but cannot seem to find any information about travelling (train/bus or Air) to Pescara from the Naples/Sorrento.
Can anyone help me?

Hello Everyone,

In September i will be moving to Pescara for 10 months to study as an erasmus student at the University. I would be grateful if anyone could give me any information on What Pescara's like, what it's like for students and just general information on things to do and how much things cost.

I can't seem to find any information on the internet really so starting to get slightly worried now.

Thank you,

Jaclyn xx

I was hoping someone could help build an itinerary that will get me from Rome to Giulianova. I was thinking of spending two full days in Rome (check in sunday night, check out Wednesday morning). I need to be in Giulianova for my sisters wedding by Thursday. Is there somewhere we can stop on the way for one day? We will leave Giulianova on Sunday morning. Is there a one week itinerary we should follow?

Thanks

Does anyone know if there is a local bus service available to/from L'Aquila/Aragno.

Thanks

Hello everyone. Just a simple one: where is the best street/area in Pescara for clothes/shoes shopping? Just general commercial stuff. Also, I would like to buy local cheeses and cured meat. Anywhere good you can recommend (preferably close to the commercial shopping area above)?

We are booking for next June and are looking at this area as a second option. Is Francavilla nearby other small villages and is Francavilla itself a fiarly nice village. We looked at the Sporting Hotel Villa Maria and will have a car. Also
1-How much time is the drive from Naples to Francavilla
2-How much time is the drive from Abruzzo area to Rome--
Thank you-Gene

Hi everyone,

I will be making a short trip to Italy to visit someone in Giulianova, just north of Pescara and am struggling to find a nice place to stay.

I have to decide whether to stay 1) by the sea in Giulianova (or similar town on the sea like Alba Adriatica or Rosetto degli Abbruzzi), 2) in a "real" town more inland (Atri, Teramo or Mosciano Sant' Angelo or 3) in Pescara itself.

I prefer option 2 but can't seem to find a decent place to stay in the inland places.

The real criteria is that it's within 30 minutes from Giulianova and that it's a pleasant and reasonably priced placed (up to 100 euros).

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Second attempt to post.....
Is there anything worth seeing along A14? Getting there is half the fun!!! Traveling in April, hope to enjoy the beach a bit. An restaurant suggestions???

I was a teacher on a student trip to Italy. Found the tourist crush a pain in Rome, Siena & Florence. Then I took a weekend off and drove alone to the Abruzzi. Loved it. Mountains, clean air, old unspoiled little towns, no foreign tourists. I want to take a small student trip to the Abruzzi next year, but it's hard to find information. If anyone knows the area around Leonessa, Rieti, I'd be grateful to read your story. Hotels? Trekking trails? Excursions?

Hi, I am staying in a small village called Serramonacesca which is about 40minutes from Pescara we are staying from July 28th to August 4th, there will be four adults and four children of ages 5,8,12 and 16. Our challenge is to find something for everyone to enjoy, we have the beach, i understand there is a waterpark within driving distance and ive come accross some pretty villages etc however, Is anybody aware of any kind of events i.e. traditional, music, art etc on in this week, if not does anybody know of any useful websites or any reccomended restaurants?

Know its a bit of a long shot but any help is greatly appreciatted.
Many thanks
Aidan.

Hi

I need to buy a copper conca - the traditional Abruzzese water jug that gets carried on the head - do they have them for sale at the L'Aquila market, is it every morning? What time does it run from?

Thanks

I want to travel to Alba Adriatica (Abruzzo) on Sunday 3rd June - does anyone know of rail/bus information?
Thanks,

I will be returning to Barrea, in Abruzzo, late this summer for my second visit. I would like to take the train from the airport (DaVinci) to Avezzano, then a bus to Barrea. Anyone know how that works? Or would it be smarter just to rent a car again (with automatic transmission this time!) and drive? Thanks,
Emily

hi my name is mark ,i love the out doors will i be disapointed also im veggy im i buggered

I know there is train service between Rome and Chieti, but I would like to go to La Fara di San Martino near there. Could someone tell me how to do so, please?

Both of my father's parents were from Abruzzo>Chieti>Fara San Martino. It is our first trip to Italy. We will be taking a tour of Venice, Florence and Rome... in that order. I want to arrive three days early (July 29, 2007) so that we can take a one day excursion to Fara S. Martino and then meet the tour in Venice (on Wednesday August 1).
My wife and I are in our mid 50's. We are not naturalists or rock-climbers. My research suggests that we might be more comfortable staying in a hotel or B&B in a larger town on the coast (like Pescara) and driving to la Fara for the day. We're not party animals either, and I've read that, except for the nightlife, Pescara has little to offer. We would like to stay in a town that is reasonably close to la Fara (within two hours by car), but one that caters to tourists. I hope to be conversationally fluent in Italian, but would feel more comfortable if I knew that our hosts were fluent in English.

How would I to the Goriano Valli (Tione degli Abruzzi - Fontecchio), Province of L'Aquila, Region Abruzzo from the Fiumicino airport? I have no clue - would it be train or bus and how long would it take?

Any info would be much appreciated.

We will be staying a few nights in L'Aquila first week of Oct/07...Which one of these hotels is the best? How are their locations for walking to dinner @ night?

I am going to pescara on holiday in July 2007 and would like to find out to travel from the airport to my hotel Hotel Abbadetta Via Abbadetta 36, Acquaviva Picena I would like to go by train if I could. Does anyine have any suggestions. including Times costs or websites.

My wife and I are returning a car to Hertz on Via Cetteo Ciglia and catching a train from Pescara Centrale. How far is it to walk? Is it easy to catch a taxi from the Hertz location?

What is the easiest way to get from Pescara airport to Teramo please?

Hello

Can anyone suggest a guide book with good information on Abruzzo?


Thanks

Is there a bus or train from Fiumicino, Rome to Teramo, Abruzzo? If yes, can you pls send me the link where i can book a ticket?

We will have to make a train connection at Pescara Centrale with very little time between trains and hear that this is a very large terminal. We will be arriving on an ES train from Bari and need to get to a Reg going to Roma. Will these tracks be relatively close together?

I have a friend who is hoping to travel to a little village outside Lanciano, Villa Romagnoli, from Pescara airport on public transport. Any tips/information would be greatly appreciated. Su

I was looking into Pescara to stay one night but I'm wondering if there is a more beautiful seaside town or village I could stay at for a relax time...?
