Sleeping & Eating
Most hotels close from October to Easter. Though many places are uninspiring 1960s con-
crete blocks, you can find some charmers. For a room, contact the

Albergatori

)
In the capable hands of the friendly Gasparini family, Clipper is literally
steps from the beach and a five-minute stroll from the centre. The bright and breezy
rooms are well kept and have balconies; it's worth shelling out an extra €5 per night for a
sea view. Rates include bike rental and beach towels.

L'Angolo di Mario
( 0721 6 58 50;

; Via Nazario Sauro; pizza €2.50-10, meals €20-30; daily)
L'Angolo di Mario couples sea views with contemporary decor, pleasant service and great
food. Bag a table on the terrace to gaze out across the Adriatic as you dig into heaped
plates of mussels and clams or seafood pasta, before mains of grilled fish or beef. They
also do a mean pizza.

EXTREME CAVING
If the Grotte di Frasassi tour leaves you hungry for more of a challenge, sign up for a
Speleo Avven-
tura
. This will up the adventure ante considerably as you pass across 30m chasms and crawl on your
hands and knees along narrow passages and tunnels. There are two versions: blue (easy-ish), which
lasts two hours and costs €35, and red (hard, as you'll be going right into the cave's bowels), which
lasts three hours and costs €45. Book at least a week in advance and happy spelunking.
