The green Adriatic corridor is a 130 km long cycling route that covers all the Abruzzo coast, from Marche to Molise.

Who loves cycling will be able to take advantage of this famous route close to the sea, instead those who prefer taking trips in the nature or doing trekking will have the best opportunities to experience the classical peaceful holiday, away from noise and pollution.
