Overlooking the Teramo coastline, the port of Giulianova has been the beating heart of the city for more than a century, a meeting point between maritime tradition, commercial activity, and tourism. Originally built to provide shelter for local fishing boats and boost maritime trade, it is now one of the most charming destinations for those seeking the authentic face of the Abruzzo Adriatic.
From its origins to modern growth
The idea of equipping Giulianova with a modern port took shape in the early 20th century. Construction began in 1913 with the building of the south and north piers, essential for ensuring safety for vessels. From the start, the port played a strategic role in fishing, an activity that has always defined the city’s economic and cultural identity.
After World War II, the structure was expanded to accommodate growing fishing and commercial traffic, with significant improvements during the 1970s and 1980s that increased its efficiency and capacity. Today, the port maintains its commercial vocation while also welcoming a variety of leisure boats.
A port alive with tourism and traditions
In recent decades, the port has reinvented itself as a tourist attraction. The quays host cultural events, markets, exhibitions, and sea-themed festivals, while the scenic promenade along the pier offers some of the best views on the Teramo coast, especially at sunset.
The marina welcomes sailboats and yachts, offering modern facilities and direct access to the town center. Its proximity to the seafront and sandy beaches makes it a favorite for visitors looking to combine seaside relaxation with cultural experiences.
The culture of the sea
Giulianova’s connection to the sea is celebrated in local traditions, such as the Feast of Our Lady of Porto Salvo, a striking maritime procession that unites fishermen, locals, and visitors every year in a moment rich with faith and folklore. Local fish markets and portside restaurants serve fresh seafood dishes, a true culinary highlight of the area.

A visit to Giulianova Port means discovering a place where history, work, and beauty blend together. It is the perfect starting point for sea excursions, sport fishing trips, and food and wine tours—or simply a relaxing walk with the scent of salt in the air and the soothing rhythm of the waves.
