Pescara is a magnificent Italian city located on the Adriatic, at the mouth of the Aterno-Pescara river. It is a seaside resort and port dominated by the Abruzzo massif. The sailboat charter in Italy is particularly favorable there, thanks to a steady breeze that blows over the region.
A yacht charter in Pescara will offer the opportunity to visit numerous protected areas, including the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park, the Majella National Park, etc. On the program, you will observe birds, chamois and wolves. You will discover lakes, in this case Lake Garda, on the shores of which is the estate where the famous poet Gabriele D'Annunzio lived. The base in Pescara is not far from the Croatian coast, which can also be an opportunity to go on a cruise to Croatia.
To discover the city's places of interest, we recommend a stroll along Corso Umberto I Avenue to Primo Maggio Square, passing through Rinascita (Renaissance) Square, also known as Salotto Square.
On the cultural side, you can put together a sailing itinerary including the Vittoria Colonna Museum of Modern Art, the Paolo Barrasso Naturalistic and Archaeological Museum, and the Museum and Archives of Contemporary Artists of Abruzzo. Between visits, there's nothing like a picnic on the banks of the Aterno-Pescara river. As you travel through the region, you will find other places to recharge your batteries, such as the spa resort of Caramanico.
