Ortona, on the Adriatic coast of Abruzzo, is known for its dramatic coastline dotted with trabocchi — ancient wooden fishing platforms built on stilts jutting out over the sea. These centuries-old structures, once used by local fishermen to net fish from the rocky shore, have been converted into some of the region's most atmospheric seafood restaurants, accessible by narrow wooden walkways above the waves.
This video, part of a five-day Abruzzo tour, takes viewers to one of these trabocco dining experiences near Ortona. Expect fresh catches like seppie, scampi, and brodetto alla vastese served in a setting where the Adriatic surrounds you on all sides — a uniquely Abruzzese way to eat seafood that no inland restaurant can replicate.
