Location Silvi Marina is located in Abruzzo, a central region of the Italian peninsula, and lays on the Adriatic coast, just a few kilometres north of Pescara. Abruzzo is a land of parks and green areas, renowned as the green heart of Europe and equally well known for its wonderful beaches of white fine sand. The area offers in all seasons an almost endless number of natural and cultural attractions, well worth prolonging the stay independent of the conference. Silvi Marina can be reached from all over Europe by road, rail or air. By Road

There are motorways from Bari, Brennero, Chiasso, Milan and Rome. In particular, from Rome, Silvi Marina can be reached from the Highway 24 Rome-Pescara, leaving at the exit to the highway A14, direction Ancona Nord) and then leaving at the exit Pescara Nord- Città Santangelo.
