    Abbazia di San Giovanni in Venere – The divine balcony of Abruzzo.

    Brake resolutely here and swap the coastline for a short, sporty climb up the hill. Atop the Promontorio di Venere awaits one of Italy's most magical and spiritual places.

    The Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere. This impressive 12th-century abbey was built on the foundations of an ancient Roman temple dedicated to the goddess of love, Venus. Surrounded by ancient olive groves, this place exudes a serene tranquility that contrasts beautifully with the lively beaches below.
