In spite of the ironic hashtag #ilmolisenonesiste, which went around the world a few years ago bringing the small region into the limelight, Molise is a region rich in history, natural beauty and traditions of ancient origin.
Molise
100 castles 159 culinary specialities 5 waterfalls 5 sheep tracks
Campobasso is the regional capital and has some 40 km of coastline on the Adriatic Sea, but is also characterised by its rounded hills and the peaks of the Meta and Matese Mountains. There are many villages in the hinterland, including the beautiful Bagnoli del Trigno, where you can visit archaeological finds (of note are the Samnite discoveries) and ancient castles.
It is a still unspoilt land, where nature is fierce (it is home to one of Italy’s eight Biosphere Reserves, that of Collemeluccio-Montedimezzo), with traditions that are still alive and genuine hospitality. Mention must be made of the trabucchi and tratturi. The former consisted of a wooden platform extending out to sea, reinforced with local pine logs, which allowed fishermen to fish even in bad weather. The sheep-tracks, on the other hand, are passage ways for the flocks, a kind of highway for shepherds.

Petacciato
A municipality on the Molise coast in the province of Campobasso, Petacciato is characterised by a scarcely anthropised coastline, where unspoilt nature dominates.
The environmentally protected dune system and vast pine forest make it an attractive destination for those seeking smaller destinations, off the beaten track of the large summer tourist flows. Here, tourism lives in close connection with agriculture, in a hilly landscape that slopes down to the sea, with ideal routes for cycling and trekking.
Its proximity to Termoli, an almost eastern city with mighty ramparts and a thousand sea views, where one embarks to reach the pristine Tremiti Islands in just over an hour, makes Petacciato an ideal location for both a summer holiday and a mid-season weekend.
