Riding in Ortona: what to know
The cycle path is the main reason people rent a bike in Ortona: a flat surface, few cars and well-marked stages. If you’re not in great shape, pick an e-bike; the ride back feels much easier. In high season the best bikes are gone by mid-morning, so reserve the evening before. Most shops supply a helmet, panniers and a repair kit: ask at pick-up, they’re usually part of the price.
