Silvi Marina, few km far from Pescara, is one of the most famous places of the Abruzzi, with its typical early twenties villas and it is also well known for the production of liquorice. “The Pearl of Adriatic Cost”, as Silvi marina is known because of its favourable position between green hills opening towards the clear sea and the golden beaches, was soon to reveal its tourist vocation, even earlier than other well known holiday resorts in Abruzzo.
 
Since the early twenties a number of top-class hotels were built aiming to well-to-do customers. Later on came a great number of hotels and residences, along with the first bathing establishments, the theatre, the promenade and so on, up to the Silvi marina of nowdays with its modern hotels, restaurants, residences and, most of all, its golden beaches, its sea-front pinewood, its unpolluted water (awarded ther Blue Flag ).
