Why Silvi Marina? Here are the qualities most appreciated by those who have chosen our services for their vacations.
Choosing a destination for your holidays is always an important moment. We need to understand if the destination exactly matches, or at least comes close to, our habits, our needs, or our lifestyle. Moreover, considering that a wrong choice can turn out to be a waste of money and time, after a year of hard work, it’s crucial to dedicate the right amount of time in searching for the right destination.
This is why the team at Silvi Vacanza has decided to provide this small guide dedicated to all those who are considering the city of Silvi, and specifically the part of the city near the sea, known as Silvi Marina.
Brief description of the city of Silvi
Let’s start by giving you a brief description of the city. Silvi is an Italian municipality of about 15,000 inhabitants located between the city of Montesilvano and the city of Atri.
It is commonly divided into two parts: Silvi “alta” (high) and Silvi “marina” (maritime). The reason lies in the fact that the city had a particular urban development: originally it was a village located on a hill of little importance, the part near the sea was one of the many ports from which fishermen departed for their daily fishing activities and was not “exploited” as a real place to live permanently. Only from the 1800s onwards did the city begin to develop significantly both on the hill and coastal areas and indeed the location of some historical or institutional buildings fully reflects this: the historic center is located in the high part along with the Town Hall, while the Municipality is found in the coastal area.
Silvi has always been a tourist destination due to its particular morphological conformation. Before urban development, the entire area was covered with pine forests and a coastline characterized by wide beaches with fine, golden sand and above all calm and clean waters. For these reasons, in the past, it was chosen as a holiday spot by nobles and wealthy individuals. When the Italian railway system also reached the city of Silvi with the construction of a station, tourism received a further boost.
Even though the city has undergone development, sometimes uncontrolled, it has retained some of its original characteristics and for years continues to be a destination chosen by many people precisely because it lends itself to “family” tourism. Let’s see why.
Why choose Silvi Marina as a destination for your vacation if you have a family with children
Silvi Marina is chosen by many tourists for various reasons, but it’s undeniable that it is especially chosen by families with children because it has features that are appreciated by both adults and kids.
Starting with the coastline. The beaches of Silvi Marina are sandy with shallow waters and the sea level rises gradually, without sudden transitions from shallow to deep waters. This is highly valued by parents who can thus monitor their children playing in the water even from the shore. Moreover, if staying at a beach establishment, the presence of lifeguards is almost guaranteed from early morning until 6 p.m.
The waters are also extremely clean. On low tide days, it’s no exaggeration to say that this stretch of the Adriatic coast can easily compete with other much more renowned ones.
The combination of these factors has earned the city of Silvi the Blue Flag award for many consecutive years.
Continuing on the topic of beach establishments, Silvi Marina offers an extremely wide choice. There will be no problems in finding umbrellas and sunbeds even with a daily rental formula. Moreover, many of these establishments are excellent dining spots, with a menu mainly based on fish. However, if you have chosen this destination for your next vacation, it is advisable to start gathering information on the establishment closest to your home and possibly to “book” your umbrella in advance to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Also, the costs not directly connected to the stay are not high. Prices in restaurants, bars, venues, and supermarkets do not change during the summer period, and indeed you will be the one to choose from a very wide offer: the beauty of this city is that it features a promenade with a multitude of food-related activities, from the cheapest to the most expensive.
And if for a day you want to give your children an exciting and different day from the “usual sea,” you can consider visiting the famous “Onda Blu” water park in Tortoreto, which is only 40/50 minutes away from Silvi. Your children will be delighted by the multitude of slides and water games available in the park!
To conclude, it’s clear why Silvi Marina is a destination chosen by more and more families each year.
Why choose Silvi Marina as a destination for your vacation if you want to discover Abruzzo
If you are people who love visiting Italy and its landscape and cultural treasures, Silvi Marina will give you the opportunity to explore Abruzzo thanks to its location.
The highway exit, to reach more inland destinations, is just a few minutes away from the Municipality: visiting the most famous destinations in Abruzzo such as the Castle of Rocca Calascio or the famous Costa dei Trabocchi will not be challenging. In fact, if you are an early riser, you can very well plan a day trip that includes destinations both in the mountains and on the coast. From this point of view, Abruzzo offers very interesting and also little-known proposals.
If instead you want to go on short excursions, we definitely recommend:
- Città Sant’Angelo and Silvi “alta”: they are small municipalities but extremely charming thanks to their belvederes;
- visiting Atri and its Badlands: the city of Atri offers something more compared to the previously mentioned towns. Definitely visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and, going on the landscape side, you can visit the Badlands, rock formations with a very particular shape;
- a day at the Torre di Cerrano: if you want to spend a more “wild” day, the free beach around the Torre di Cerrano will satisfy you. Also, we recommend checking if there are any events organized right at the Tower.
