The Route

The Via Verde Experience

Italy's most spectacular coastal cycling route runs right past our door.

The Via Verde della Costa dei Trabocchi is a dedicated cycling and walking path that follows the Adriatic coastline of Abruzzo. Built largely along a former railway line, it winds past clifftop views, ancient fishing platforms known as trabocchi, sandy coves and picturesque villages — making it one of the most rewarding rides in Italy. San Vito Marina sits at the heart of the route, making it the perfect base.

Ortona

The northern gateway. Ortona's historic harbour and clifftop castle make for a dramatic starting point on the Via Verde.

San Vito Chietino / San Vito Marina You Are Here

Our base. San Vito Marina is one of the most beautiful stretches of the entire route, with trabocchi restaurants perched over the sea and crystal-clear water.

Vallevò

A scenic hamlet above the coast with sweeping sea views and a sense of timeless Abruzzese calm.

Rocca San Giovanni

A medieval village perched on a hill, with one of the finest panoramic views of the Adriatic along the entire coast.

Fossacesia

Home to the stunning Abbazia di San Giovanni in Venere, a Romanesque abbey set above the sea — an unmissable stop on any cycling itinerary.

Torino di Sangro

Rolling hills meet the sea at this quiet stop, with beautiful sandy beaches and a relaxed, authentic atmosphere.

Casalbordino

Known for its long sandy beaches and the famous Miracoli sanctuary, Casalbordino is a highlight of the southern section of the route.

Vasto

The southern terminus. Vasto's historic centre crowns a dramatic headland above a sweeping bay — a fitting and rewarding end to the Via Verde journey.

Discover Abruzzo

The Costa dei Trabocchi

One of Italy's most unspoilt coastlines — and best kept secrets.

The Trabocchi

Trabocchi are ancient wooden fishing platforms that jut out from the cliffs on long poles and nets. Once vital to local fishermen, many have been lovingly converted into unique seafood restaurants where you can dine literally over the Adriatic Sea. Cycling the Via Verde connects you to several of these extraordinary spots.

Beaches & Sea

The Costa dei Trabocchi stretches for over 40 kilometres of largely unspoilt Adriatic coastline. Between rocky headlands and pine forests, you will find secluded pebble coves, long sandy beaches and clear turquoise water that rivals anywhere in southern Italy. From your bike, you are never far from a refreshing dip.

Sea Views

This coastline was made for looking at. As you ride the Via Verde, the Adriatic opens before you in shades of blue and green, with the mountains of Abruzzo rising behind and, on clear days, a distant view across the water to the peaks of Monte Gargano in Puglia.

Abruzzo Culture

The villages along the coast are steeped in tradition. From the medieval hilltop town of Rocca San Giovanni to the Romanesque Abbazia di San Giovanni in Venere above Fossacesia, every stop on the route reveals a different facet of authentic Abruzzese life, history and architecture.

Food & Flavours

Abruzzo's food culture is a revelation. Along the Via Verde, look out for trabocchi restaurants serving freshly caught spaghetti alle vongole, grilled fish and local brodetto stew. Pair your meal with a glass of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo or crisp Trebbiano from the vineyards just a few kilometres inland.

Sustainable Travel

Cycling the Costa dei Trabocchi is one of the most sustainable ways to explore this protected coastline. Low impact, low noise and completely at your own pace — riding a bike here feels exactly as it should: quiet, free and perfectly in tune with the natural landscape around you.

Guest Reviews

What Cyclists Say

Experiences shared by guests who have explored the coast with us.

"We rented e-bikes for two days and cycled all the way from San Vito to Fossacesia. The route past the trabocchi is absolutely breathtaking. The bikes were in perfect condition and the team gave us brilliant tips on where to stop for lunch. Honestly one of the best things we did in Abruzzo."

Sophie M. London, UK — August 2024

"Perfecta experiencia. Alquilamos cuatro bicicletas para la familia y fue un día increíble en la Via Verde. El servicio fue muy amable y profesional, los cascos y candados ya estaban incluidos — sin sorpresas. La costa es espectacular y los trabocchi son únicos en el mundo."

Carlos & Familia Madrid, Spain — July 2024

"Abbiamo noleggiato due e-bike per una settimana durante il nostro soggiorno a Luxury Seaside Escape. Avere le bici direttamente a disposizione in struttura è stato comodissimo. Ogni mattina partivamo a esplorare un tratto diverso della Via Verde. Che esperienza straordinaria!"

Marco & Laura Milano, Italia — Settembre 2024

"Fantastischer Service! Wir haben Fahrräder für drei Tage gemietet und die gesamte Küste erkundet. Die Lage in San Vito Marina ist ideal — die Via Verde beginnt praktisch vor der Tür. Die Trabocchi-Restaurants, die wir auf dem Weg besucht haben, waren unvergesslich."

Thomas K. München, Deutschland — Juni 2024

"The bikes were excellent quality and the people couldn't have been more helpful. They suggested a fantastic route that took us through Rocca San Giovanni — a stunning medieval village we never would have found on our own. We stayed at Luxury Seaside Escape too, which made the whole experience seamless."

Fiona & James Dublin, Ireland — May 2024

"Un service impeccable et des vélos en parfait état. La Via Verde est magnifique — entre mer et collines, chaque kilomètre est un vrai plaisir. Nous avons déjeuné sur un trabocco et c'était une expérience inoubliable. À faire absolument si vous visitez les Abruzzes."

Étienne & Nathalie Paris, France — Octobre 2024
