SUP and kayaking below Termoli old town
You paddle beneath the walls of Termoli's old town, which looks out to sea from a rocky spur, with the Swabian castle and the trabucchi on the rocks.
The story
Termoli castle was fortified by Frederick II of Swabia in the 13th century. Ferries to the Tremiti Islands, less than two hours away, leave from the harbour.
Why go
Because the old town seen from the sea is beautiful, and the beach is quiet even in August.
Which wind
Good with Calm sea in the morning
Avoid with Bora, Maestrale, Libeccio
