Pescara isn't the nicest city in Italy but there are a lot of beautiful towns around it. Chieti sits on a hill with bus service into Pescara and has an amazing museum as well as more bars and restaurants than you can count.
Property is more expensive by the ocean but there is a greater variety as well.

Yes, we had been to Chieti and it was very nice. I went back a second time to see it. yes, Pescara had lovely towns around it. We also bathed at Francavilla a Mare. Terrific. I think that place must get very quiet in the winter.
I will check out these airfares. When you say "return", Barry, do you mean round trip? so, if I flew to Rome, then I would have to take another flight to Calabria, right? We are flying into Lamezia Terme, on the west coast. That price might not be too bad, though, from Rome to there. Thank you for checking that out for me, Barry. You're a good guy!
We leave July 11, return 27th, in case during that time you do not hear from me.
