TRAVELLER'S GUIDE TO TRIESTE DUINO SISTIANA MIRAMARE

The Triestine Riviera is a magical place nestled at the foothills of the Julian Alps and cradled by the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea.

MIRAMARE

Located across the bay from Venice, its rocky coast and placid hills have embraced nature’s forces to create unspoiled pine forests, clear waters, sparkling beaches and an abundance of wildlife.

 It is a unique place that has welcomed visitors and settlers from other parts of the world for as long as there has been recorded history.

This is a place where influences blend, making each day a unique experience.

TRIESTE, DUINO SISTIANA Traveller's Guide

The imperial Castle of Miramar is attainable with the car or with the bus (line 51) in only 10 minutes ( ticket € 1.60 ).

The bus stops nearby our B&B.

Who drives on  the panorama route Sistiana- Miramare- Trieste between the Adriatic and the hinterland,  will fast understand why the Italians use to call its country “Il bel paese” - the beautiful country.

Into countless curves and turns it goes  over the sea through green Macchia.

 A set of lookout points makes it possible to enjoy in peace the panoramas:  small bays, which are only from the sea side accessible, and often only the envious view of the owners of the numerously crossing yachts and motorboats remains.

The coastal road from Sistiana to Triest ranks reliably among the  most beautiful routes of the entire Mediterranean coast.

The WTO (World Tourism organization) confirms the Triestine Coastal road as one of the 20 most beautiful coastal roads of the world.

Sistiana Bay

The coast of Trieste is well known for the sandy beaches of the Island Grado and the  indentedness and variety of the Sistiana's Coast,  characterized through stones and rocks. Very soon You will become aware of the beauty and the charm of the coast which has a lush submarine life and where every beach is different and certainly represents something worth exploring.

Sistiana Bay developed during Trieste's great days at the end of the nineteenth century, comes to life in summer, when all Trieste seems to come here to chat, play cards, sunbath and swim.The water is very clean. Just short of the resort,  is the Rilke's Promenade.Leading magazines inserted the coast near Sistiana among the most clean and wonderful beaches of the year.

There are two beautiful pebbly beaches in the bay, Caravella beach, backed by a steep mountain, and Castelreggio.The beaches of this area are very frequented. You'll find it hard to tear yourself away.Right on the beach there is a diving center, fruit and ice-cream stands, coffee bar and a beach restaurant. 
If you are not a fan of crowds, hustle and bustle, the area south of Sistiana have many other spots & secluded areas for a swim. 

 To find more privacy and less people you can also walk south or rent a kayak for a perfect romantic day exploring little coves and surely you will discover the perfect place for you.  Extraordinary scenery, Mediterranean scents and surreal beauty of water and sky color, will soon make you forget about the time. In the well-indented coastal area with a number of small bays, hidden within dense vegetation, you will often come across naturists. Although the beaches are not specified as naturist, many people choose to enjoy the sea and the sun in this way.

Some people are a bit disappointed with the fact that the eastern part of the Gulf of Trieste  doesn't abounds in sandy beaches, but you will often hear same people later saying that this is maybe even better because this is the reason sea water is so clean and crystal clear. And when we say crystal clear, we really mean it.Some of these beaches can be reached by walking on the age-old pathways that lead you past the "macchia", the green spruces and olive tree trunks, while being accompanied by the scents of rosemary, thyme and mint.

Between Sistiana and Duino you can see the highest Cliffs in the whole of Italy.

The cliffs afford an amazing sense of space and exposure to the sky. And below, verdant plant life, vines and cypresses cascade down the ribbed rock that emerges, in porous spikes, from the cliff-face. The cliff is made of limestone and the erosion of rainwater accounts for the textured quality of the rock.

Climate for the triestine Coast:

 The warmest months are July and August when the air temperature is between 25°C and 35°C (77°F - 95°F) and the sea temperature reaches up to 28° C (83°F). The rain is rare.  This is the time when most of the tourists come. If you're for a quieter time at the beach and not so many tourists, maybe May, June and September are months for you. They are also very warm months with average temperatures around 25°C (77°F) and the sea surface temps between 19° C and 23° C (68°F - 77°F).

Sunbathing and swimming is also possible in April and October, but it really depends on the weather .

Grado and Aquileia

UNESCO WORLD'S HERITAGE

And just a few kilometres away there is Aquileia: one of the most important towns of the Roman Empire.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, Aquileia became an important Patriarchy for more than a thousand years: from 699 to 1751. The patriarchal basilica houses one of the biggest and most antique western mosaics decorated with scenes of the sea, while the Museo Paleocristiano (Early Christian Museum) conserves a heritage of frescoes, mosaics and reliefs of enormous interest. Aquileia is still an important place for religion besides being a centre for conventions and historical, artistic and cultural events.

Aquileia was founded in the first century BC. It occupies a strategic defence location. It became a Patriarchs's seat and many beautiful churches were built. The Basilica is considered to be one of the most important monuments of early Christianity. There are two museums to visit there. -Unesco's World Heritage-

Grado was the extreme southern part of the port of Aquileia. Now it a beautiful island city joined to the mainland by a causeway. It boasts 20 kms of fine sandy beaches. Grado was very popular as a spa during the days of the Austrian Hungarian Empire with its healing sands. Grado can be reached by the no. 21 bus from the B&B. There is also a boat service during the Summer.Through the Venetian style narrow paths and small squares, each walk in the historical centre of Grado is a plunge into a truly unique atmosphere. In fact, time seems to stand still and each corner has its own special story to tell. But the whole town of Grado has a special style, made of tranquillity and wellbeing. You can, in fact, say that the Isola del Sole is a huge pedestrian island, far away from the traffic and daily chaos. And even in the more modern areas, greenery is an integral part of the scenery.
