Ancône, or Ancona, which belongs to the region of the Marches, overlooks the Adriatic Sea in Italy. With its lovely beaches and imposing historic buildings, it is both a seaside town and a city of art where it is good to frolic. Not far from the Croatian coast, Ancona can also be the point of departure for renting a boat in Croatia.
The must-sees in Ancona
Wandering through the large, endless pedestrian streets of Ancona allows you to see its elegant buildings marked by its rich Greco-Roman past. The city was founded by Greeks from Syracuse in the 4th century BC.
Its history is thus told through its many buildings such as the Theatre of the Muses and the Romano-Byzantine style Cathedral of St. Cyriacus, whose construction, begun in 1128, was completed many years later. The port of Ancona is also an interesting place to visit.
The latter has effectively made the city a crossroads of different cultures. Starting from the Cathedral of San Ciriaco, a stroll towards the port allows you to enjoy a view of Trajan's Arch of Triumph and also to stop by the remains of the Roman amphitheater. To enjoy a breathtaking view of the Adriatic Sea, a detour to the side of Cardeto Park is a must. Overlooking the city, the park brings a touch of freshness with its green nature. What's more, a sublime view of the Adriatic Sea awaits you there!
Activities in Ancona
Ancona is also the perfect place for fun activities. For example, you can enjoy a swim and relax on the beach at Ancona. Ancona port can also be a good starting point for a catamaran charter in Italy towards the Senigallia coast. A yacht charter in Ancona will also allow you to enjoy a little diving session.
As for food, Ancona is a place to be desired! The city owes its fame to its mussels marinara and brodetto all'anconetana, a fish soup served with grilled bread. Wine tourism also attracts travelers. By visiting the farms that produce the province's specialties, you can sample one of the best white wines in the world, "Rosso Conero."
