Atri, six miles away from the Adriatic Sea, it is perhaps one of the oldest cities in Abruzzo. This is demonstrated by its origins which are the subject of discussions often surrounded by legendary halos.

Because of its strategic importance and commercial, it is believed that the city has given its name to the Adriatic Sea (Hadria, Hadriaticum).

Many traditional events in the course of the year and the typical products that can be tasted in the territory and in the village. Among the most famous pecorino cheese d'Atri, the arrosticini, honey, licorice, maccheroni with the crumb, oil and sweet Pan Ducale. Among the wines we remember the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, the Trebbiano and Chardonnay.

In addition to the beauty of the panorama, less hurried tourists are offered the opportunity to admire many popular festivals accompanied by lively festivals, songs and to attend numerous religious and secular events 365 days of the year.
