Province of Teramo travel guide
Understand
The landscape of the Province of Teramo is dominated almost entirely on the east by a large body of water with the beaches of the Adriatic Sea and by the Apennine Mountains whose highest peak is Gran Sasso d'Italia. The province is divided latitudinally by the characteristic hills and valleys rich in vineyards and olive groves that begin in the Apennines and run almost to the coast. The distance between the beaches of the Adriatic Sea and the 3,000-metre snowcapped Gran Sasso peaks is short: they can be reached within an hour from one point to the other. On the eastern portion of the province are the so-called "seven sister" beaches directly adjacent to the Adriatic Sea. These resorts are noted for one of the highest blue flag beaches density, very fine white sand and their mild and wholesome Mediterranean climates which support a rich flora of palm, pine and oleander trees.
Getting there
The province of Teramo can easily be reached by car or bus from Rome via the A24 highway and it is also connected to the A14 highway.
