About Ancona

Ancona is Italy's elbow on the Adriatic—a curved harbor city with a Roman arch, Byzantine cathedral, and ferries to Croatia and Greece that many travelers overlook. May to June and September bring warm days for the Passetto beach elevator, Conero Regional Park hikes, and fresh brodetto fish stew without August port chaos. Summer fills the riviera below Monte Conero; book ferries early if crossing the sea. Winter is mild and uncrowded for wandering the centro storico, though some beach clubs close until spring.
