Vasto

Key attractions include the Castello Caldora, the Cathedral of San Giuseppe, the Loggia Ambling, and the various beaches along the coast. Exploring the historic center and enjoying the coastal views are essential experiences.

The best time to visit Vasto is during the shoulder seasons (May-June and September-October) when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are smaller. July and August are peak season, offering the warmest weather but also attracting more tourists.

Be sure to sample the fresh seafood, especially the 'brodetto vastese' (fish stew). Also, try the local pasta dishes and regional wines. Gelato is a must-have treat on a hot day.
