About Ancona

Anconais situated on the Adriatic coast in the central part of Italy in the region called Le Marche. Its tourist and commercial  harbor is one of the largest in the Adriatic. The town was founded by the Dorians in 387 A.C. They named the town after the shape of the gulf: Αγκων (Ankon), which in ancient Geek means elbow. The town has ancient ruins dating back to the Greek, Roman and Medieval periods. From the top of a hill, right in the heart of the medieval and eighteenth century town, San Ciriaco cathedral overlooks the harbor and the U-shaped gulf, offering a spectacular view of the coastline and the surrounding hills. In the nearby surroundings, Portonovo beach and nature reserve, as well as the towns of Loreto, Osimo, Recanati, Jesi and Senigallia are the major attractions for those who enjoy sightseeing, beaches, trekking, wine cellar tours (to discover Lacrima di Morrovalle, Verdicchio di Jesi and Rosso Conero to cite but the three most famous wines).
