Italy's best kept secret, Abruzzo

  • I wanted to show you a special place in my heart in Italy, that not many tourists from North America let alone anywhere really venture off to, the region of Abruzzo. The region of Abruzzo is truly undiscovered and I hope this video sheds some light on it as it really deserves to get far more recognition as a place to visit in Italy.
    This film will show you the many incredible things about the region of Abruzzo, from the incredible local delicacies like Arrosticini, a staple of the region, to trying some good albeit very strange food on a Trabboci on the coast of the Adriatic and tasting some of the local Montepulciano wines.
    Called the green lung of Italy, most of Abruzzo is covered in National Parks and they are some of the most incredible you will ever see! Besides exploring the many national parks at your disposal, another one of my favourite things to do in Abruzzo is explore the many mediavel villages, with such untouched beauty that you feel as though you've stepped back in time.
    I hope that you enjoy this video and make sure to LIKE the video, it really does make a huge difference and SUBSCRIBE!

    Abruzzo has about 75% of the fauna of Europe, many protected areas, bear, wolf, golden eagle, owl, newt, badger, fox, Abruzzese shepherd dog, green region of Europe, as well as a beautiful sea, castles and villages with great panoramic views. If you are looking for nature and relaxation away from the usual "suffocating" holiday spots in Italy, Abruzzo is the best place

      It truly does have everything you need. Many people are not comfortable going off the beaten path a little but sometimes when you take risks and explore the unknown you will be rewarded for it and Abruzzo is definitely one of those places that is slept on by tourists!

      Not really sure... I feel like tv and social media have just made the really popular places what they are today and most travellers don't like travelling to places that they haven't really heard of before. It's a nice part about going to Abruzzo is the lack of tourism makes it a better experience at least in my opinion!
