San Vito Chietino

San Vito Chietino extends across 16 square kilometers of land at 122 meters above sea level, overlooking the Adriatic Sea from its rocky position.

The settlement maintained an active port during the Roman imperial period that continued operations through the 10th century, facilitating maritime trade across the Adriatic.

The town celebrates its patron Saint Vitus each year on June 15 with traditional festivities that bring together the entire community.

Travelers can access the town via the A14 motorway with an exit at Lanciano or through the coastal road SS 16 Adriatica.

The coastline features traditional wooden fishing platforms called trabocchi, constructed by local fishermen in the 18th century as innovative fishing stations.
