Tremiti Islands 2019

 

The Tremiti islands are located just off of the "spur" of Italy's "boot", a short boat ride from Gargano. To get there, we first traveled an hour south to Termoli where we caught our ferry. 

Upon arrival on San Domino, we took a small boat to the island of San Nicola, where we climbed up to the Abbey of Santa Maria a Mare, founded in the 9th century by Benedictine monks.

Next, we took a boat tour around the islands, stopping in one of the caves, and eventually dropped anchor for a quick dip in the Adriatic.

In the afternoon, our students were able to explore more of San Domino to enjoy its beaches and hidden coves before heading back to the mainland.
