The town
Termoli (Molisano: Térmle) is a town on the Adriatic coast of Italy, in the region of Molise. It is a local resort town known for its beaches and old fortifications. The beaches have pure waters. Very few non-Italians stay in this area; most tourists to Molise come from Naples and Apulia, to the south of Molise. The seaside promenade features palm trees, and in the summer the many restaurants are crowded.
