Ferries to Molise

Ferry Molise: What to see and do?

Molise is a picturesque and little-known Italian region that's full of charm and authenticity. If you're coming by ferry and looking to discover this unspoilt region, here are the main towns and sights not to be missed.

Molise's main town is Campobasso, set in the hills of the Apennines. The old town is a real gem, with its narrow streets and period stone buildings. Don't miss a visit to Monforte Castle, with its breathtaking views over the town. You can also enjoy the many churches, such as the Cathedral of the Santissima Trinità and the Church of San Bartolomeo.

Just a few kilometres from Campobasso is the magnificent Lake Guardialfiera. This man-made lake is surrounded by green hills and is ideal for relaxing and enjoying nature. You can take a walk around the lake or enjoy the water sports on offer.

To the south of Campobasso lies the charming town of Termoli, famous for its sandy beaches and unspoilt historic centre. Stroll along the seafront promenade and stop for fresh seafood in one of the many restaurants. Be sure to visit Termoli Castle, which offers panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea.

If you're a keen hiker, head to the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park. This park covers more than 50,000 hectares and offers an incredible diversity of landscapes, from rugged mountains to lush green plains. You can hike, mountain bike or even spot wildlife, including wolves, bears and deer.

Finally, if you're interested in history and archaeology, be sure to visit the archaeological site of Saepinum. This ancient Roman settlement is well preserved and offers a fascinating insight into life in Roman times. Admire the remains of the baths, theatre and private houses.

To get around Molise, we recommend you hire a car, as public transport is less developed. The main towns are well connected by road, making it easy to discover all the region's treasures.

Molise is an ideal destination for travellers seeking authenticity and tranquillity. With its picturesque towns, unspoilt nature and historic sites, this is a region that has yet to be explored by mass tourism. So hop on board a ferry and set off to discover this beautiful Italian region.

Molise: When to visit?

The best time to travel in Italy depends on your personal preferences. If you like the sun and the heat, summer is the ideal time for you. The months of June to August offer high temperatures ranging from 25°C to 35°C in the southern regions of the country. However, temperatures can rise to 40°C in certain regions such as Sicily and Calabria. Italy's beaches are crowded during this period, so expect plenty of tourists.

If you prefer milder temperatures and avoid the crowds, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are good seasons to visit Italy. Temperatures are pleasant, fluctuating between 15°C and 25°C, and the landscapes are magnificent, with flowers blooming in spring and changing leaves in autumn.
